Abstract:

Dr. Francis J. Kron was born in Prussia in 1798, married in Paris in 1823, and later came with his wife to her uncle's home in Montgomery County. They set up housekeeping in 1834 on land that is now Morrow Mountain State Park in Stanly County. He was as famous for his flowers and vegetables as he was for his medical practice.
