THE KRAUS FAMILY MASSACRE 1959, NEW HAVEN
The Kraus family was wonderful. I remember the kids fondly and my sister went to grammar school with Linda.
One spring day we woke up to find out that Mr. Kraus had killed his three kids: Linda (12), Donald (9), Richard (8) and his own sister, Elizabeth, before setting the house on fire and killing himself. Needless, to say we were shocked and saddened.
I still can recall darling Linda with such a bright future ahead of her. Their mother, Frances, never remarried and died in the New Haven area when she was 90--she had not been at home during Mr Kraus' rampage. He did try to kill her when she returned, but she escaped.
Family violence affects so many people--I know I can still vividly remember the incident.
So the children will never be forgotten this memorial is here.
If you have questions or additional information (or pictures) please get in touch with me.
