Mr. Krundell was born in the town of North Salem, Westchester County [NY] in the year 1798, and settled in New Lisbon in 1815, which was then almost a wilderness and has occupied the farm on which he settled ever since.  After suffering all the inconveniences of an early settler's life, where nothing could be heard but the distant howl of wild beasts and the woodman's ax, Walter, with his ambitious nature, struggled on until he accomplished his object in clearing up one of the best farms on old New Lisbon Hills.  For honesty, integrity and virtue, he was noted among his townsmen.  He was peculiar in all his habits and seemed to choose a life of single blessedness rather than be obligated to anyone that he could pay with dollars and cents; very obliging in his manners; always willing to aid the needy and he will ever be held in sweet remembrance by all his friends and neighbors of the town in which he lived.
