Descendants of Theobald Or Dewald Klingler
Generation No. 1
1. THEOBALD OR DEWALD 1 KLINGLER was born Abt. 1714 in Near Weingarten, Germany.
He married MARIA CATHERINE GOLBERT, daughter of HEINRCH GOLBERT and ANNA GEISS.
Notes for THEOBALD OR DEWALD KLINGLER:
I received the following information from Lila Jean Cambell which I note here for future
research:
"The children of Adams family in Perry Co. Ohio said the only Cousin they could remember
visiting in PA was a cousin, Peter, who lived near the Schuylkill Mts. or river. I see you have
a Peter b.1797 who would have been about the age of Adam's children. Do you know of any
connection to the Klingers who lived in the same areas of PA.? One reference I saw said they
were related through the Heist sisters and I also wondered about our Theobald whose wife's
mother was Anna Rosina Geiss. the Alexander Klinger who immigrated here after theobald
was married to Anna Elizabeth Geiss, whose father was Johann Adam Geiss and mother, Eva
Grall. I will have to do some research on the areas from which they came. Theobald/Dewald
born about 1714 in Southwestern Germany near a town called Weingarten which was only a
few miles from the border of Switzerland. Near the Lake of Constance and just a few miles
west of the Danube River. Debalt emigrated to escape Persecution as a Protestant. His path
started at Weingarten in Wuerttemberg and continued north through the Palatinate, then to the
Netherlands. His ship landed on 20th day of Sept. 1738 along with 130 other German
immigrants. He was given the Qualified Oath at the Old Philadelphia Courthouse by 4
"Esquires" Clement Plumsted, Samuel Hassel, Andrew Hamilton, Thomas Griffith. He was
24 years old. His wife, Maria Catherine Golbert was evidently with him as their son, John,
was born in Phila. in Dec. 1738. Reference: "The Moyer Family" by Rudolph Isaac Moyer in
Union Co., Historical Soc. Lewisburg, PA and "PA German Pioneers" by Strassberger and
Hinke. Land Records show Assessments in 1756 Heidelberg Twp. Berks until 1789 when it
changes to Martin Klingler (oldest son). Orphans Court Berks Co. record in next e-mail." (
See copy in notes under John Klingler)
From Vol.II TEPPER "New World Immigrants (929.373 LaGrange KY Library), Page 73:
Klingler, Theobald, bor 1714, married at Weingarten, 11/26/1737, to Maria Golbert, daughter
of the Citizen and Town Councilor, Henrich Gelberth (Golbert), died about 1717 at
Freirmersheim, and his wife, Anna Rosina Geiss; according to a transfer of property of the
widow Ann Rosina Geiss, dated April 19, 1746, ("went to the Newland 7 yrs ago")

Notes for JOHN KLINGLER:
HISTORY OF KLINGLER FAMILY
2

John Klingler,Sr.(#267) resided in Berks Co.,PA;KY, and Clermont Co.,OH. Was a
Revolutionary soldier, widow applied for pension W 4009, Granted. (see end of these notes)
Pension Records, National Archives, John was a Corporal ind 3rd Pennsylvania Regiment
during the Revolution, discharged 17 January 1781. 4 March 1843 - 3 March 1847, pension
No. W 4009 to widow was $88 per anum, Catherine appllied at the age of 85.
John Klingler,Sr.(267 was born in PA in 1758. Revolutionary War Pension File Application
indicates he served during the Revolutionary War. Marriage Records of Christ Church
Tulpebochen Township,Berks Co.,PA indicate he married Catherine Elisabeth Baier
4/14/1784. Berks Co.,PA 1790 Census Records indicate that he, his wife, one son, and one
daughter were living in Berks Co.,PA (Pinegrove Twnship). The family moved from PA to
Mason Co.,KY in 1795. When they moved to KY they had at least one son, John Jr. (#20) and
one daughter, Elizabeth (#270) and probably one other son, Frederick (#271). They later had
two more children, Peter (#272) and Susan (#268). Susan was born in KY, 1800.
The 1800 Census of Mason Co.,KY shows that he was still there. the eldest son John,Jr(#20),
born 2/22/1787 in PA, married: Rachel Fee (#274) in Bracken Co.,KY on 8/11/1808.
JOHN KLINGLER, SR (#267) MOVED HIS FAMILY TO CLERMONT COUNTY OHIO.
THEY LIVED ON A FARM WHICH THEY OWNED IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
THIS
MOVE WAS MADE PRIOR TO 1810 BECAUSE HE IS SHOWN ON THE 1810 TAX
LIST FOR CLERMONT COUNTY. (PROBABLY PRIOR TO 1803 BECAUSE A JOHN
CLINGLER IS REFERRED TO IN "ELECTION 1803 IN CLERMONT COUNTY) HIS
PROPERTY CAN BE LOCATED ON A CLERMONT 1815 MAP WHERE IT IS
IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER 765. (IT APPEARS THAT THE ELDEST SON JOHN
(#20) ALSO MOVED TO CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO PRIOR TO 6/22/1809 WHEN
HIS FIRST CHILD JOSHUA (#275) WAS BORN. HE AND HIS WIFE MAY HAVE
MOVED TO OHIO WITH HIS PARENTS BUT BY 1820 HE WAS LIVING
SEPARATELY. MORE ABOUT JOHN, JR (#20) LATER)
IN A "HISTORY OF CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO-1880", PAGE 81, UNDER
"COMMISSIONERS' EARLY PROCEEDINGS" THE FOLLOWING REFERENCE
APPEARS
"MARCH TERM, 1812, ------ON THE PROPOSED ROAD BEGINNING NEAR THE
MOUTH OF INDIAN CREEK, THENCE UP THE SAME, PASSING "ABRAM'S MILL",
THENCE NEAR JOHN LOWE'S PLANTATION, BY THAT OF JOHN KLINGLER, AND

CARTER, TO INTERSECT THE COUNTY ROAD NEAR KELLY BURK'S
MILL,THOMAS
MARSH, JOHN BOGGESS, AND JOHN LOWE WERE THE VIEWERS WITH BOGGESS
AS
SURVEYOR" (RECORDS INDICATE THAT SON PETER KLINGLER (#272) MARRIED
PHEBE FRAZEE IN CLERMONT COUNTY, 2/15/1816. THIS WAS PROBABLY A
DAUGHTER OF NEIGHBOR STEPHEN FRAZEE.)
THE NEXT WE KNOW OF JOHN KLINGLER, SR, (#267) WAS CONTAINED IN A
WILL DATED 7/2/1818 WHICH STATES AS FOLLOWS:

(PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE NEXT TO LAST PARAGRAPH THE YEAR IS WRITTEN
ONE THOUSAND AND EIGHT, 1818. THIS IS EXACTLY AS WRITTEN BY HAND
IN THE ORIGINAL WILL. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO READ
EIGHTEEN RATHER THAN EIGHT BUT WAS JUST MISS WRITTEN AND THE
ERROR
WAS MISSED)
SUSAN KLINGLER (#268) MARRIED JOHN SELVAGE IN CLERMONT COUNTY,
OHIO
4/13/1820 WHICH WAS JUST PRIOR TO THE CENSUS OF 1820.
IN 1820 BOTH FREDERICK KLINGLER (#271) AND PETER KLINGLER (#272)
WERE LIVING IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP OF CLERMONT COUNTY. IT
APPEARS
FREDERICK HAD ASSUMED CHARGE OF THE FARM AND WAS LIVING THERE
4

WITH
HIS WIFE AND A MALE CHILD 0-10. HE AND HIS WIFE WERE IN THE 16-26
AGE CATEGORY. ALSO LIVING WITH FREDERICK WERE A FEMALE 45+ (HIS
MOTHER KATHERINE ELIZABETH (#266)??) AND A FEMALE 26-45 (HIS SISTER
ELIZABETH (#270)??)
ALSO LIVING VERY NEARBY WAS BROTHER, PETER KLINGLER (#272) 16-26
YRS OLD AND HIS WIFE PHEBE FRAZEE(#273) 16-26 YEARS OLD TOGETHER
WITH TWO MALE CHILDREN 0-10 YRS OLD.
IN 1820 JOHN KLINGLER, JR, (#20) WAS LIVING IN OHIO TOWNSHIP WHICH
WAS ADJACENT TO WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. HE WAS IN THE 26-45 AGE
CATEGORY AND WAS WITH HIS WIFE RACHEL (#274) IN THE 26-45 CATEGORY.
THEY HAD 4 MALE CHILDREN 0-10, 2 MALES 10-16, AND 1 FEMALE 0-10.
THIS FAMILY WILL BE COVERED IN MORE DETAIL UNDER JOHN KLINGLER, JR
(#20) LATER.
IN THE "HISTORY OF CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO-1880" THERE IS A LIST OF
PROPERTY HOLDERS IN 1826. THIS LIST INCLUDES JOHN KLINGLER (#20)
AND FREDERICK KLINGLER (#271). ALTHOUGH THIS LIST IS FOR MONROE
TOWNSHIP I SUSPECT THAT TOWNSHIPS WERE REFORMED AND PROBABLY
THEY
OWNED THE SAME PROPERTY WHICH THEY HAD AT THE 1820 CENSUS. (THIS
WILL BE RESEARCHED AT A LATER DATE.)
THE 1820 CENSUS INDICATES THAT FREDERICK (#271) AND PETER (#272)
WERE IN AGRICULTURE AND THAT JOHN (#20) WAS IN MANUFACTURING.
THERE WAS NO TRACE OF THIS FAMILY IN THE 1930 CENSUS OF CLERMONT

personally appears before the judges of the Court of Common Pleas
in and for said County sitting at George Town Catharine Clingler
a resident of Brown County and State of Ohio aged eighty five years
who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make
the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the
5

provision of Congress passed July 7th 1838 which has an act
granting half pay and pension to certain widows. That she is the
widow of John Clingler who was a Corporal in the Third Regiment of
Pennsylvania as an inlisted soldier in the war of the revolution
and was discharged on the 17th day of January 1781 She states that
she has always understood and verily believes that the said John
was a soldier in the service of the United States prior to his said
enlistment and served most all the time of the revolutionary war
that he was at the battle of Bunker hill, Brandywine, Germantown
and several others that she cannot now recollect. She states that
she has often heard her said husband tell what officers he was
under and describe the battles he had been in but she cannot now
recollect the particular, she believes the rolls and other evidence
in the proper department at Washington City will fully set forth
his services, She states that when she was married to this said
John Clingler which happened in 1784 he had then a discharge from
service signed by Anthony Wayne B.G. and a sixty dollar Continental
Bill which she said John always said he had received as part of his
wages as a soldier in said war and that the said discharge and
Continental Bill were since in the possesion of the said John until
the time of his death and they now remain with her. And she has
always understood that the said John never received any land from
the United States, on account of his said service. And she
believes if he ever received any papers entitling him to any land
they would have been lost prior to his death. She further declares
that she was married to the said John Clingler on the 14th day of
April seventeen hundred and eighty four by Elder Emanual Schultz in
Tulpehocken Township Berks County Pennsylvania. That her husband
the aforesaid John Clingler died on the 18th day of August
Elighteen hundred and eighteen. That she was not married to him
prior to his having the service but the marriage took place
previous to the first day of January seventeen hundred and ninety
four e.g. on the day and year above stated. And further that she
had a record of her marriage kept by the said John which about ten
years ago was burned with her family Bible when the house of son
Frederick Clingler was burned.

REV. JOHN KLINGLER (#20)
Mr. Klingler was born in Pennsylvania on February 22,1787. When
young he went to Kentucky, in 1795, where he was married in Bracken
County, August 11, 1808. From there they removed to Clermont
County, Ohio, where twelve of the older children were born. In
1831 they came to Marion County, Indiana, where they remained until
11

the year 1839, when they became citizens of Boone County, and where
they lived the remainder of their lives. Mrs. Rachel Klingler(274)
was born in Kentucky on January 8, 1792. On coming to; this county
they settled on "Irishman's Run" in Eagle Township where Mr.
Klingler died, aged eighty years. The following are the names of
this family: Joshua (275) born in Ohio June 22, 1809; John (15)
born in Ohio November 28, 1810; Martin (277) born February 7, 1812,
died in Kentucky, and was buried in Marion County, Indiana, October
5, 1828; George F. (278) born November 4, 1813, resides in Eagle
Township; Frederick (280) born June 19, 1815, died April 20, 1867
(his wife died June 23,1869-both buried at Salem, Cemetery); Byron
(281) born November 25, 1816, died in infancy; Polly (282) born
December 4, 1817, died October 25, 1879, and buried in Boone County
at the Pitzer Cemetery; Francis L. (284) was born September 11,
1819-deceased; Catharine (286) born February 27, 1821, died March

born in Kentucky, died November, 1870, is buried at Pleasant View

Mr. John Klingler, the subject of this sketch, died November 1,
1848; Mrs. Margaret Klingler, wife of John Klingler, died May 29,
1864. It will be seen that nearly all of this large family are
dead. George married Miss Nancy Wolf (279) daughter of John Wolf,
in 1849. In 1843 Elijah married Mary Stephenson. Joshua was
married to; Sarah Tibbets in Kentucky; John was married to Sarah

Mary A. Moore, August 1, 1886; Richard P. to Eliza Broahard, 1847;
Joel to Margaret Ray, 1851.
THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS OR APPARENT DISCREPANCIES ARISE FROM THE
ABOVE TEXT:
THERE IS NO EXPLANATION OF WHY THE "REV" IN THE TITLE.
THE TEXT REFERS TO "MRS RACHEL KLINGLER IN THE 7TH LINE YET REFERS
TO "MRS. MARGARET KLINGLER" WIFE OF JOHN KLINGLER IN THE LAST
PARAGRAPH.
GIVES JOHN KLINGLER BORN 2/22/1787, DIED 11/1/1848 (61 YRS OLD) YET
LINE 10 STATES "MR KLINGLER DIED, AGE 80 YRS.
TEXT STATES "JOHN MARRIED TO SARAH ROBACK IN 1834", RECORDS AND
FAMILY INFORMATION INDICATE THAT JOHN MARRIED SALLY BABCOCK,
8/12/1832, IN MARION COUNTY, INDIANA.
JOHN AND RACHEL "CAME TO MARION COUNTY, INDIANA" IN 1830 NOT 1831.
THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE 1830 CENSUS OF MARION COUNTY.
ACCORDING TO THE "BOONE COUNTY MARRIAGE RECORD NO. 1-JANUARY
12

1831
TO AUGUST 1844" FRANCIS MARRIED MARY MULLEN 2/25/1841 NOT POLLY
MULLEN, 8/?/1841.
ACCORDING TO THE SAME MARRIAGE RECORD, POLLY MARRIED ANDERSON P.
GUTHRY, 1/17/1838 OR 1839, NOT ANDERSON BUTTERY, 1837.
JOHN KLINGLER, JR (#20), AS SHOWN IN PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS, HAD 12
CHILDREN BORN WHILE HE AND HIS WIFE, RACHEL (#274), LIVED IN
CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETIME BETWEEN 6/1/1828
AND SOMETIME IN 1829 THE FAMILY MOVED BACK TO BRACKEN COUNTY,
KENTUCKY WHERE SON RICHARD P. WAS BORN. THIS MOVE IS FURTHER
DOCUMENTED BY AN ENTRY IN "INDIANA ORIGINAL LAND ENTRIES, 1820-1831
VOL 3 (BROOKVILLE-INDIANAPOLIS)" FOUND IN THE MADISON INDIANA
LIBRARY, GEN COL 929.3 IND. THIS ENTRY STATES THAT JOHN KLINGER
#11338; STATE OF RESIDENCE, KENTUCKY; PLACE OF RESIDENCE, BRACKEN
PURCHASED 160 ACRES @$1.25/ACRE IN THE NORTH EAST QUARTER OF 3E
(NORTH OF WASHINGTON & CLARK COUNTIES). THIS PURCHASE WAS MADE
9/8/1830. FROM THE MAP IN THE ENTRIES BOOK THIS APPEARS TO BE IN
THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTION OF MARION COUNTY INDIANA.
THE 1830 CENSUS OF PIKE TOWNSHIP, MARION COUNTY, INDIANA SHOWS
THAT
JOHN CLINGER (KLINGLER?) WAS LIVING THERE BUT WITHOUT THE 4
YOUNGER
CHILDREN. SINCE THIS CENSUS WAS TAKEN AS THEY WERE MOVING FROM
BRACKEN COUNTY, KENTUCKY TO INDIANA IT SEEMS REASONABLE THAT
THESE
YOUNGER CHILDREN WERE LEFT WITH FAMILY BACK IN KENTUCKY OR OHIO
UNTIL THEY COULD ESTABLISH A PLACE TO LIVE
IT APPEARS THAT JOHN KLINGLER (#15) WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN 19 YEARS
OLD IN 1830 ON THE CENSUS DATE WAS STILL LIVING WITH HIS FAMILY.
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE SAME CENSUS PAGE CONTAINS ORLOW
BABCOCK WITH 2 DAUGHTERS, 10-15 YEARS OLD. SARAH BABCOCK (#14) WHO
IN 1932 MARRIED JOHN KLINGLER (#15) WOULD HAVE BEEN 13 YEARS OLD ON
THE CENSUS DATE, SO THIS CENSUS FITS OTHER DATA. (A SON ORLOW,
#63, WAS BORN 8/10/1833 TO THE MARRIAGE OF JOHN AND SARAH AND IN
ORLOW'S ARMY PAPERS HE STATES THAT HE WAS BORN 8 MILES EAST &
NORTH
OF INDIANAPOLIS. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE
WAS STILL LIVING AT HOME SO THIS MAY LOCATE THE LAND WHICH JOHN
KLINGLER, JR. (#20) PURCHASED AS DISCUSSED ABOVE.)
THE 1840 CENSUS OF BOONE COUNTY, INDIANA SHOWS JOHN CLINGLER, 50-69
WIFE 40-50 AND 1 FEMALE 20-30, 1 MALE 5-10, 3 MALES 10-15, 2 MALES
15-20, 3 MALES 20-30 S MALE 30-40. THESE NUMBERS INDICATE ONE OF
THE MARRIED CHILDREN MIGHT BE LIVING WITH A SPOUSE WITH FAMILY.
VERY GOOD RECONCILIATION WITH AGES OF THE CHILDREN RECORDED IN
OUR
RECORDS. THE OCCUPATION LIST SHOWS ONE FAMILY MEMBER EMPLOYED IN
AGRICULTURE.
JOHN KLINGLER, JR (#20) DIED 11/1/1848 SO HE DOES NOT SHOW ON THE
13

1850 CENSUS, HOWEVER HIS WIDOW RACHEL (RACHAEL) CLINGLER
(KLINGLER)
IS LISTED ON PAGE 328, BOONE COUNTY, DISTRICT 7 GATHERED 9/19/1850.

JOHN IS LISTED AS A COOPER AND SON ORLOW AS A FARMER. NO REAL

I have a copy of a Family Group Record produced by Mrs Harold E. Weller, 306 Voorhees St.
Rockville, IN. Most of her information and mine reconciled and she added to what I had. Her
information is in my (JBK) file and at Lebanon, IN Library. Other references: 1820 Clermont
Co., IN Census, page 32; 1830 Bracken Co.,KY Census, page 7 or 8; 1840 Boone Co.,IN
Census, page 281. The referenced Klingler Bible Recor originally belonging to Rev. John
Klingler and was last known to be in the hands of William E. Klingler, Zionsville, IN,
November 18, 1968. (Believe same family also in 1830 Census, Marion Co., IN, Pike
Township, page 224) What I am saying is that I believe the family was split during the 1830
Census with part still in Bracken Co., KY and part having moved ahead to Marion Co., IN)

Notes for GEORGE F. KLINGLER:
From Reference Card in Sullivan Museum, Zionsville, IN: Klingler, Thomas, Lebanon Pioneer, April 11,
1901: Thomas Klingler, Ex trustee of Eagle Township, was accidently killed by a falling tree Tues., at his
home west of Zionsville. He was cutting lumber for a new house which he intended to build on his place.
Mr. Klingler was an orphan boy and was taken from the Cincinnati Orphans Home and adopted by George
15

Klingler of Eagle Township. He married Ellen Hartman, a daughter of Hervey Hartman of Eagle Township.
There are two children, Bertha, the wife of Omar A. Burgin of this city and Lona, a son, married who lives at
the home place. Mr. Klingler would have been 49 yrs. of age next May
MORTUARY RECORDS: Born 1852 died 4/9/1901. Married 6/2/1875 Ellen Hartman
Sullivan Museum, Zionsville, IN has a file card: Klingler, George containing information from the Zionsville
Times, 7/7/1897 (also see above paragraphs)
From Zionsville Times dated 7/1/1897; George was born in Clermont Co., OH in 1813. When but 5 years of
age his parents moved to Kentucky which was at that time one dense forest and white settlements were few to
be found. Two years later they moved to Marion Co., IN which was wilder than that from which they came.
Moved in 1837 to Boone Co., IN where they spent the rest of their days. He and wife Nancy J. Wolf died
within little more than a year of each other, no children except one which they adopted and reared as their
own son. He lived with this boy, Thomas. (note from James B. Klingler, writer of these files: I believe the
timing of the moves in the newspaper story are erroneous when compared with other facts.)

John's grave is not marked with the original stone which would have
been limestone, but with a pink granite stone inscribed John F.

from the birth pattern of other children.

Notes for JOHN THOMAS KLINGLER:
22

JOHN THOMAS KLINGLER, SR, (#15)
From History of Richland County,WI-1884. John Klingler, a native of KY born
Nov.28,1810,came from Marion Co.,IN, and on the 23rd day of June 1852 settled on the SW
Qtr of Sect.27 Richland and there engaged in farming until his death, which occurred May 6,
1874. He left a wife and five children: Orlow, Martha,now the wife of George W. Miller,
Rachel, Frank and John. "EARLY TIMES IN BOONE COUNTY INDIANA 1887" in
Madison IN Library has an article about his father and family which indicates he was born in
Ohio, Novembeer 28, 1810. This was probably Clermont Co.,OH. 1850 Census from
Hamilton Co., IN (Clay Township) says born in Ohio, occupation cooper; 1910 Census in
Richland Center WI, listing Orlow Klingler indicates that his father was born in KY and his
mother in Ohio. In 1884 wife and son Frank still resided at the homestead on land owned and
occupied by John and Sarah from 1854.
JOHN KLINGLER, JR.,(#15) WAS BORN IN CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO,
11/28/1810 AND MOVED WITH HIS FATHER JOHN KLINGLER, JR., (#20),
MOTHER RACHEL (#274) AND BROTHERS AND SISTER TO BRACKEN COUNTY,
KENTUCKY IN 1828 OR 1829 FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEN IN 1830 WITH
THEM TO MARION COUNTY, INDIANA. ON 8/12/1832 HE MARRIED SARAH
BABCOCK IN MARION COUNTY, INDIANA.
THE FOLLOWING CHILDREN WERE BORN TO THIS MARRIAGE: ORLOW (#63)
b.8/10/1833, INDIANA, d.5/1/1917, RICHLAND CENTER WISCONSIN; MARTHA
(#65) b.ca.1837, INDIANA, d.5/10/1906, WISCONSIN; RACHAEL (#62)
b.ca.1843, ILLINOIS, d. , WISCONSIN; WILLIAM TAYLOR (#79)
b.ca.1849, INDIANA, d. , ; FRANCIS M. (#64)
b.9/?/1853, RICHLAND CENTER, WISCONSIN, d. , : JOHN
THOMAS KLINGLER (#6), b.6/18/1856, RICHLAND CENTER, WISCONSIN,
d.5/12/1927, SAVANNA, ILLINOIS.
THIS FAMILY WAS IN HAMILTON COUNTY, CLAY TOWNSHIP, INDIANA AT THE
TIME OF THE 1850 CENSUS. JOHN THOMAS KLINGLER, SR(#15) WAS LISTED
ON THAT CENSUS AS A COOPER AND THAT HE HAD BEEN BORN IN OHIO, HIS
WIFE SARAH AS HAVING BEEN BORN IN NEW YORK, CHILDREN: ORLOW b.IN,
MARTHA b.IN, RACHAEL b.IL AND WILLIAM TAYLOR b.IN. ORLOW WAS
LISTED AS A FARMER. (RESEARCH, SO FAR, HAS FAILED TO LOCATE THIS
FAMILY IN 1840, AND WHY RACHAEL WAS BORN IN ILLINOIS)
THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS FROM "HISTORY OF RICHLAND COUNTY". THIS IS
RICHLAND COUNTY WISCONSIN, THE HISTORY WAS PUBLISHED IN 1884 AND
THE TEXT WAS ON PAGE 1185:
"JOHN KLINGLER (#15), A NATIVE OF KENTUCKY, BORN NOV. 28, 1810,
CAME FROM MARION CO., IND., AND ON THE 23D DAY OF JUNE, 1852,
SETTLED ON THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 27, RICHLAND, AND
THERE
ENGAGED IN FARMING UNTIL HIS DEATH, WHICH OCCURRED MAY 6, 1874. HE
LEFT A WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN--ORLOW, MARTHA, NOW WIFE OF GEORGE
W.
MILLER; RACHEL, FRANK AND JOHN. MRS. KLINGLER AND HER SON FRANK
STILL RESIDE AT THE HOMESTEAD. ORLOW KLINGLER, OLDEST SON OF THE
ABOVE, WAS BORN IN MARION CO., IND., AUG. 10, 1833. HE CAME WITH
23

HIS PARENTS TO WISCONSIN, AND ON THE 6TH OF SEPTEMBER, 1855, WAS
MARRIED TO RACHEL J. MILLER. AUG. 13, 1862, HE ENLISTED IN COMPANY
B, 25TH WISCONSIN, AND SERVED UNTIL THE REGIMENT WAS MUSTERED OUT
OF SERVICE. SINCE THE WAR HE HAS BEEN ENGAGED IN GENERAL FARMING
AND NOW OWNS 235 ACRES, WITH FIRST CLASS IMPROVEMENTS. MR.
KLINGLER VOTES THE REPUBLICAN TICKET BUT TAKES LITTLE INTEREST IN
POLITICAL AFFAIRS. THE ONLY CIVIC SOCIETY OF WHICH HE IS A MEMBER,
IS THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. MR. AND MRS. KLINGLER HAVE ONE
DAUGHTER--SARAH J."
THE LAND REFERRED TO IN THE ABOVE TEXT IS EASILY LOCATED ON AN 1874
MAP OF RICHLAND. JOHN T. KLINGLER, SR (#15) OWNED THE 80 ACRES AND
SON ORLOW OWNED 120 ACRES ADJACENT. THE PINE RIVER FLOWED
THROUGH
THE NORTH EDGE OF BOTH PROPERTIES AND THE PINE RIVER CEMETERY IS
ABOUT 1/2 MILE EAST OF THE PROPERTY, JUST ACROSS THE PINE RIVER.
SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF JOHN T. KLINGLER, SR (#15) A SERIES OF
ARRANGEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHERS
ENABLED ORLOW TO ASSUME OWNERSHIP OF JOHN'S (#15) 80 ACRES PLUS ADD
SOME ADJOINING PROPERTY SO THAT THE FARM TOTALLED APPROXIMATELY
235
ACRES. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS ON A RICHLAND MAP OF 1895.
AN ADDITIONAL TEXT FROM A BOOK LOCATED IN THE GENEALOGY SECTION
OF
THE RICHLAND CENTER LIBRARY ENTITLED "RICHLAND CENTER, WISCONSIN"
BY TAYLOR PUBLISHING, ON PAGE 260, IS AS FOLLOWS:
"BERNARD AND PHYLLIS (KEYS) KELLER #635"
"ORLOW KLINGLER, ORIGINALLY FROM INDIANA, MARION COUNTY,
PURCHASED
FARM LAND IN RICHLAND COUNTY ON NOVEMBER 10, 1855. THE FAMILY
STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF SALE SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
FRANKLIN PIERCE. RACHEL MILLER, DAUGHTER OF CAMPBELL AND
PRISCILLA
MILLER, MARRIED ORLOW KLINGLER IN 1855. ORLOW SERVED IN THE CIVIL
WAR IN CO. B 25TH VOLUNTEER FROM WISCONSIN. THE
GREATGRANDCHILDREN
NOW HAVE HIS DISCHARGE PAPERS, AND HIS GOLD HEADED CANE AND
BUTTONS
FROM HIS MILITARY JACKET.
(AT THIS POINT IN THE TEXT THERE IS INSERTED AN EXCELLENT PORTRAIT
OF ORLOW AND RACHEAL MILLER KLINGLER WITH GRANDCHILDREN GLEN
KEYS,
JAY KEYS AND ODA KEYS SCHMITT.)
ORLOW AND RACHEL HAD ONE CHILD SARAH JANE KLINGLER, WHO MARRIED
CHARLES B. KEYS, MARCH 1884. THEY HAD THREE CHILDREN: ODA C. KEYS
SCHMITT, C. GLEN KEYS AND JAY HOLLIS KEYS. ODA MARRIED WILLIAM
SCHMITT OF BLUE RIVER IN 1908. THEY HAD NO CHILDREN. JAY KEYS DIED
IN 1918 WHEN STRUCK BY A TRAIN IN PENNSYLVANIA. GLEN KEYS MARRIED
VELMA CARTER, DAUGHTER OF JOHN AND MYRTIE CARTER OF SEXTONVILLE,
24

IN
FEBRUARY 1929. THEY FARMED THE FAMILY FARM "FRESIAN PARK FARM"
(NOW OWNED BY RAYMOND AND SYLVIA SCHMITZ SOUTH OF RICHLAND
CENTER)
UNTIL GLEN'S HEALTH FAILED IN 1936. HE WAS PROUD OF HIS REGISTERED
HOLSTEIN COWS AND SHOWED A GRAND CHAMPION AT THE CHICAGO WORLD
FAIR
IN 1933. GLEN AND VELMA HAD FOUR CHILDREN: NORMA JEAN KEYS ALF,
AUGUST 7, 1930; PHYLLIS MARIE KEYS KELLER, APRIL 21, 1931; HELEN
RUTH KEYS MOSER, JANUARY 20, 1933; AND WILLIAM GLEN BILL KEYS,
DECEMBER 21, 1937.
THE KEYS CHILDREN ATTENDED RICHLAND CENTER HIGH SCHOOL. JEAN
ATTENDED STOUT AND EAU CLAIRE COLLEGES AND MARRIED JOHN ALF OF
ELEVA. THEY NOW LIVE ON A FARM NEAR ELEVA AND HAVE THREE
CHILDREN:
STEVE, KAREN, AND LORRI. PHYLLIS ATTENDED STOUT COLLEGE AND
WORKED
FOR SCHULTZ BROS. AND DR. J.F. HENKEL BEFORE SHE MARRIED BERNARD L.
KELLER, SON OF OTTO KELLER AND MABEL DRAY KELLER, IN FEBRUARY 1951`
IN RICHLAND CENTER. BERNARD WAS IN THE SERVICE FROM 1951 UNTIL
1953, STATIONED IN FORT SILL AND OKLAHOMA CITY. AFTER BEING IN THE
SERVICE, THEY MOVED BACK TO RICHLAND CENTER. BERNARD (BUN) KELLER
WAS A CITY POSTAL LETTER CARRIER FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS UNTIL 1980
WITH FORCED RETIREMENT BECAUSE OF ARTHRITIS. PHYLLIS WORKED AT
BURNHAM JEWELERS FROM 1953 UNTIL 1972 WHEN THEY PURCHASED THE
STORE
FROM THE FAMILY OF ROBERT BURNHAM. BUN AND PHYLLIS HAD THREE
CHILDREN: ELLEN DAWN, RANDALL JAY (RANDY), AND RICHARD WILLIAM
(RICK). ELLEN MARRIED RANDY BIRD IN 1976. THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN:
LAURA DAWN AND RYAN LEE. RANDY MARRIED JEANINE SMITH ON OCTOBER
27, 1984; AND RICK MARRIED JANET JOHNSON ON JULY 13, 1985.
HELEN RUTH KEYS MARRIED ALLAN "BUD" MOSER AND SHE WILL TELL ABOUT
HER FAMILY IN ANOTHER PART OF THIS BOOK.
WILLIAM GLEN "BILL" KEYS MARRIED JUDY ALLISON OF THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON. THEY HAD TWINS, CULLY ANN AND BILL BORN IN DECEMBER
1963, AND A BOY, CHUCK, BORN IN JUNE 1965.
I REMEMBER AUNT ODA SCHMITT TELLING OF AN INDIAN MAN AND WIFE
WITH
A LITTLE BABY TRAVELING THE PINE RIVER BY CANOE. THEY STOPPED AT
THE FARMHOUSE TO GET MEDICINE FOR THE SQUAW. AFTER QUITE A TIME
TRYING TO COMMUNICATE, THEY FINALLY GOT ACROSS THAT THEY WANTED
"SORGHUM MOLASSES" TO CURE "THE MISERIES". SUBMITTED BY PHYLLIS
KELLER."
THE PRECEDING PAGES PERHAPS TELL MORE ABOUT SON ORLOW KLINGLER
(#63) THAN ABOUT THE FATHER JOHN THOMAS KLINGLER, SR (#15) BUT DOES
GIVE A GOOD HISTORY OF THE FAMILY. AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE RECORDS
ORLOW WAS THE FIRSTBORN SON AND WAS 23 YEARS OLDER THAN HIS
BROTHER
JOHN THOMAS KLINGLER, JR (#6). MORE ABOUT (#6) ON ANOTHER PAGE.

(A PERSONAL NOTE HERE, I, JIM KLINGLER (#1) VISITED RICHLAND
CENTER, WISCONSIN IN AUGUST 1990. A COUSIN, PHYLISS MARIE (KEYS)
KELLER (# ), WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF A LENGTHY TEXT SHOWN ABOVE AND
IS INCLUDED IN THE TEXT WAS STILL RESIDING IN RICHLAND CENTER AS
WAS HER SISTER RUTH. AT THE TIME OF THE TEXT SHE OWNED A JEWELRY
STORE BUT AT THE TIME OF MY VISIT SHE OWNED A VERY NICE DRESS SHOP,
"CLASSIC FASHIONS", ON THE CORNER OF COURT AND CHURCH ST.. SHE WAS
KIND ENOUGH TO VISIT WITH ME IN HER SHOP, WAS VERY EASY TO TALK
WITH. SHE HAD LIVED ON THE KLINGLER FARM AS A LITTLE GIRL AT WHICH
TIME THE FARM WAS SOLD LEAVING KLINGLER FAMILY OWNERSHIP.
I VISITED THE FARM THEN OWNED BY RAY AND SYLVIA SCHMITZ WHERE I
FOUND SYLVIA PAINTING A FENCE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. SHE WAS
EXTREMELY KIND, WHEN LEARNING OF THE REASON FOR MY INTEREST,
INVITED ME INTO HER FINE HOME, AND TALKED TO ME ABOUT THE FARM
HISTORY. SHE SEEMED VERY AWARE AND PROUD OF THE HISTORY. SHE
STATED THAT THE ORIGINAL HOUSE AND FENCE HAD BURNED IN 1928.
A NUMBER OF THE KLINGLERS ARE BURIED IN THE PINE RIVER CEMETERY
WHICH IS JUST ACROSS THE PINE RIVER FROM THE KLINGLER FARM.)

Notes for GRACE MARIE JOHNSTON:
March 10, 2004
Kids, I am adding this to Grace's Genealogy File and wanted to send you a copy. Some of you
have had this before but I think it is so touching and helps explain the things that made her
what she became. She wrote all of this in longhand and I typed it as she wrote it. I gave her a
copy in double space so she could correct any errors. She never did. There are a few factual
errors but they do not detract from the story and the genealogy file can straighten that out.
Love, DAD (GRANDPA)Jim
January 27, 1998 by Grace Marie (Johnston) Klingler
James and Freida Johnston moved to Davenport, Iowa from Buffalo, IA when I, Grace, was 2
yrs. Old, 1918. My grandfather, August Huetter built our house on 2720 Whitewood Ave,
Davenport, IA (the first street north of Telegraph Rd. In 2700 block. In 1928 Mom had this so
called friend that owned a hotel in Walcott, IA and he decided to sell it to Mom, Dad thought
it would be good for our family to run and make a good living. He gave Mom a down
payment with three promissory notes that weren't worth the paper they were written on. He
had no money in his own name. It was all in his wife's name so Mom and Dad couldn't use the
notes to pay on the hotel so we lost it and we moved back to; Davenport in 1929. We moved
into a house we rented on 1713 East 13th St. I went to East Intermediate school. I had to
walk about 12 blocks to school. A black girl in my grade used to stop at our house and call for
me on her way to school. I'd forgotten her name but she was a real nice girl. She was a little
heavy and she wouldn't eat hardly anything and she got sick and died before very long. She
dieted too seriously.
I had a chance to go to work for a family and get my board and room and $5 a wk. I could
work during the summer vacation as I had to go to school till I was 16. I told this lady I was
15 but I was only 14 and I shouldn't have lied because she found out I had lied to her.
(She had a sterling silver coffee pot that I plugged in one day to make the coffee and the spout
fell off and base and handle all fell apart. I was scared to death, I'd forgotten to put water in
the pot before plugged it in. Mr Alexander was home and he came into the kitchen and told
me to put it all in a paper bag and he put it in the garbage can. He didn't want his mother to
see it as she'd bought it for them a few years before. He was real nice to me and I told him I'd
pay for it so much a wk. Till pd. For and he said no, he'd buy a new one and she would never
know. They were the nicest couple. They had one son. In a later year their son was the 1st
Davenport son killed in that war. I washed, ironed and cleaned for them.)
My father left one day to go out with his brother from Rock Island, his brother, Joe, was single
and he didn't have any children. Dad was gone several days and he came home sick besides
having to much to drink. Mother put him to bed and called the Dr. and he had pneumonia. Dr.
said liquor and Pneumonia don't mix. Dad died after about a wk. In bed. He was only 39 yrs.
old. It was 1930 and I was 14 yrs. old.
My mother got a card that she could use to go downtown twice a month and get foods,
commodities that the government passed out to poor families. I used to go down with my
43

other Charles to help carry the food. We had to stand in line for a long time, sometimes. I
hated it. We'd get different things at different times, flour, rice, salt pork, lard, margarine
(butter sometimes).
Mom baked every other day, bread for us and we ate a lot of bread, I tell you. Once in awhile
Mom baked bread, rolls, and coffee cakes and we would go out and try to sell them door to
door. (I hated it!!) I used to bake bread for our family on days mom didn't bake to sell. When
we lived on Whitewood Ave. Before I was 12 years old I helped a neighbor lady clean her
house especially scrub floors and she worked in a cookie factory and she'd bring a box of
cookies home for me to take home once in awhile. She knew I used to listen to the Cubs ball
team (in Chicago) play on the radio, one day she and her husband, Chauncey Smith, took me
on the train to Chicago to watch the Cubs play. I was thrilled to death.
My mom had to go to work to; feed all the children. There were 7 children younger than
myself and my sister, Ev. She was 3 years older than I was. I had to quit school, at 15, to help
Mom with the children as she worked nights cleaning offices at a big office building
downtown. My one brother, Frankie, who was about 3 yrs. Old got sick and died within 6
months after my father died and also my youngest sister, Helen, who was a baby less than a
year old died within a year after my Dad died. I went to part time school until I was 16.
We couldn't pay the rent on the house so we moved down into the west end on 6th street
across the street from the Buchanan school. Rent was less there. I forgot to tell you we had a
lady stay with us who had polio in her younger years. She couldn't use her one arm. She was
a friend of my Moms and she helped her a lot with the children. She didn't move with us as
we didn't have enough room for her so Mom really missed her.
Mom had a hard time making enough money to pay rent and also feed the 7 children so she got
a job cleaning offices downtown from 5PM to 1AM. It was hard on her as she didn't get
enough sleep. Mother got sick and Dr. said she had a Tumor and needed an operation. She
was sent to Iowa City as we couldn't pay a Dr. That was a very good hospital, it's still well
known for the good care they have there. Mom survived the operation and friends of my Mom
picked her up and brought her home. She never was very healthy after that, she had heart
trouble and was on nitroglycerine. She died at 40 yrs., 1935, 5 yrs. after Dad died.
Evelyn, my older sister, worked at an Insurance Company in Rock Island and she wanted to
move into a nicer, larger home but after a few months rent she realized she couldn't pay the
rent so we had to move to an apartment upstairs above a drugstore. We had to put our wash
machine on the back porch and carry water from the kitchen to wash clothes.
I was lucky enough to get a job in the Insurance Office my sister Evelyn worked in when I
turned 17 so I could begin helping my sis with the bills. My mother got sicker and needed
another operation and she called the priest at St. Alphonsos to come see her. She asked if
there was any chance of the St Vincents Home to take the 3 youngest children, Dorothy, Dick
and Ted as with Evelyn and I both working there was no one to take care of them and he came
back and told us they would keep them but Evelyn and I had to pay so much a wk. For their
board and room. We sure missed them.
44

Mother died that following May, 1935, so there were Ev, Chuck, Don, Lyle, Dorothy, Dick,
Ted and myself left. My brother Chuck had a friend with a car and he would take us to the
home to see Ted, Cick and Dorothy and once in a while we'd take them out for ice cream and
they loved it. After Mom died Evelyn and I still had to pay for the 3 in the home and the bill
kept getting bigger and bigger. We paid the Home for years after we both were married. As
soon as I married, I took Ted and Dick out of the home and sister Evelyn took Dorothy to live
with her. I married the following yr., 1936 and Chet was good to the boys. The yr. After Mom
died my brother Dugan fell off of his bike delivering papers and hurt his knee and it got
infected and the Fr. Said he had T.B. They put him in a TB (tuberculosis) Hospital and the
knee kept getting worse and worse. It finally opened up thru a bed sore on his leg. Drs.
Checked the pus that drained from the leg and said he didn't have TB at all, just a bad
infection. Drs. Then operated on the leg and Lyle was left with 1 stiff leg and he was such a
great kid he didn't complain much at all. Lyle was a super brother to all the family. Our
youngest brother Ted worked for a pipe covering Co. And he saved his money and bought his
own business, Insulation Co. And he hired Chuck an Do;;n to work for him. He lived with me
and saved and bought his own home. He is a wonderful brother to all of us and he always was
ready to help any of us out. He was a good friend of Jens Nielsen and his wife Marilyn and
they treated him like he was one of their family, when Jens Nielsen died of a heart attack Ted
was very good to Marilyn and their children. He ended up marrying Marilyn and I was glad as
they were happy together. Ted was good to Marilyn's children and she's been a good wife to
Ted and they've had many happy years together. In the last yrs. during Ted's sickness Marilyn
and Mike, her son, have been a life saver for him. They, Marilyn and Mike have both done a
super job of taking care of Ted for the past 2 yrs.. Ted didn't want to go to a hospital and Mike
has given up his life to take care of him.
