DEATH OF TOM. H. KREMENTZ

Prominent Retired Member of Newark, N. J. Jewelry Manufacturing Trade a Victum of Pneumonia



Newark, N. J., April 9—Thomas Henry Krementz, retired member of one of Amerjca’s greatest jewelry-manufacturing houses, died Tuesday at his home, 34 Hedden Terrace. The funeral was conducted Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the home, Rev. Henry R. Rose, D. D., pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, officiating. Interment was in Fairmount Cemetery.

Mr. Krementz was one of four brothers, three of whom were jewelers, and the junior member of the original firm of Krementz & Co., consisting of George, Frank and Thomas Krementz, Julius Lebkuecher and John Taylor. Out of this firm has grown three Newark jewelry-making establishments—the present Krementz & Co., the Frank Krementz Co. and the Taylor Co.

Born at Weisbaden, Germany, July 2, 1850, the son of Martin and Katherine Lebkuecher Krementz, Thomas Krementz was brought to this country at the age of one year. His boyhood was spent in New Albany, Ind.

In 1872, when 22 years old, he came to Newark. Intensely interested in photography, he became a professional photographer before becoming a jeweler. His marriage to Miss Lillian A. Christl took place in 1879, and about that time he joined the firm of Krementz & Co., which had already been established by his eldest brother George, and their cousin, Julius Lebkuecher. Because of illness he retired from all business in 1909.

Since that time he had devoted much of his time to photography, to nature lore and to fishing. He was a charter member of the Newark Camera Club, and a member of the Belmar Fishing Club, the Newark Athletic Club and the Eintracht Singing Society.

About 10 days before his death he was taken ill with grippe and pneumonia developed. Surviving him are his widow, one son, Albert Martin Krementz; a daughter, Miss Saida L. Krementz; three grandchildren Miss Katherine E., Albert Martin, Jr., and Edward Thomas Krementz; two brothers, Joseph of New Albany, and Frank J. of Newark, and a sister, Mrs. Fred Todt of Detroit.

After the retirement of Mr. Krementz in 1909, the business of Krementz & Co. was reorganized and three separate firms were established. His brother and son organized the Frank Krementz Co., with Frank Krementz, president, and Albert M., vice-president. George Taylor organized a company of his own. A cousin of Mr. Krementz, Carl H. Lester, with Richard and Walter Krementz, took control of the firm of Krementz & Co.
