Sikorski: Reader tries to shed light on old charcoal drawing


Q: As always, I enjoy reading your column in the newspaper. This morning your first question was from a person who wondered if you had any information about artist A L Krueger, who signed a charcoal drawing in 1885, from the Hampton Mansion in Towson, Maryland. 
I am by no means an expert genealogist, but I do have an Ancestry membership so I thought I would try to see if I could find anything for you.
The only name I could find that would fit the location of Baltimore, and the timeline around the late 1800s, was that of August Leopold Krueger, born December 1865 in Baltimore to John W and Adelaide G Krueger (both born in Bremen, Germany). In the 1870 Census (1870, Ward 10, Baltimore, Maryland, Roll M593_575, p 571A) they are in Baltimore Ward 10, and his father John is recorded as a Fresco Painter. In 1880 they are in the 14th Ward in Baltimore and father John is still a Fresco Painter, as was his oldest brother Frederik Herman, born in 1851 in Bremen. August and his younger brother Charles were at school, ages 14 and 12, respectively.  (1880, Baltimore, Maryland, Roll 502, p 352D, enumeration district 126).
