Alice M. Krebs Naples - Alice M. Krebs, a longtime community leader and volunteer in Wauwatosa, Wis., died April 19 in Naples, Fla., at age 85. Krebs had a distinguished career of community service, most notably as director of volunteers at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa and as the first female president of the city's Rotary Club. But her list of community volunteer programs is much longer; in fact, when she was named Wauwatosa Distinguished Citizen for 1999, she was nominated by four organizations in which she had held leadership positions: the Neighborhood Association Council, the Rotary Club, the Wauwatosa Historical Society and the Wauwatosa Women's Club. The award capped a lifetime of service, recognizing her energy and unselfish civic-mindedness that had made Wauwatosa a better place to live and work, and helped her recruit, train and inspire hundreds of others. She was born Alice Kearby on Sept. 16, 1934 in Milwaukee, Wis., to Harry and Ernestine (Blatz) Kearby. Alice was raised in Milwaukee and LaPorte, Ind., and was a 1953 graduate of Washington High School in Milwaukee, where she was the class salutatorian and a member of the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll scholastic journalism honor society.
I loved this very informative and historical video. It was so interesting having the portrayal of the people and family members. I especially liked Alice showing inside her family mausoleum and her feelings that family were communicating like the play “ our Town”, Alice has come to visit us today. I too love to visit cemeteries and I often think that way too. Thank you hope to find more of your videos.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Korbyn Paxton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love cemetaries and you are so right, they are full of beautiful stone marker work , full of history and good memories and very sad ones too. Tjank you for your videos. I am a fan already. Merry Christmas
General Mitchell was right and was before his time. Thank you for your service General. And to him and the many others laying there, may you rest in peace.
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a fantastic documentary. I loved the history, this was so well put together in every way 🤓 Wow ... Forest Home seems such a serene and picturesque final resting place..... Just beautiful, thank you for sharing. The Lunt's story made me cry 😢 ... But I smiled 😊 at the end knowing they are together ... Once again 😍 💕💌🇬🇧
I found it fascinating that one cemetery has so many famous names buried within it. Yes, mostly beer and motorcycles, but it would seem that Milwaukee has had a profound impact on our society. I encourage anyone who has enjoyed this video to check out the "Grave Explorations" channel here on CZcams. Matt, its creator/videographer/historian has produced some exceptional work.
Pretty surprised of a lovely intro song for this awesome insight of the century's history, albeit now it's also an aborteum. Over 100 species of trees as well!
The monument attributed to Allen - Bradley Corp. founder Lynde Bradley at 26:54 into this video is actually that of my great grand uncle Charles Trueworth Bradley, early Milwaukee industrialist & banker, 1818 - 1893. The two Bradley families were not related. C.T. Bradley's monument stands adjacent to that of his friend and fellow banker Alexander Mitchell, grandfather of General Billy Mitchell, featured here at 31:54
Alice Krebs is now in her drawer, she passed away in 2021. 10 years after this was filmed. She wasn’t sad about it she said and said it doesn’t feel cold at all at the time.I wonder how she feels about it now? 🤔 R.I.P. Alice
What a wonderful production. I would love to see additional shows from other large cemeteries. As a side note I am now wondering if the A O Smith water heaters I see all the time while doing home inspections are connected to the gentleman interred here.
A must visit place for anyone interested in Milwaukee's history.

Pretty surprised of a lovely intro song for this awesome insight of the century's history, albeit now it's also an aborteum.
Over 100 species of trees as well!
