klingler genealogy report - Lutheranrose

(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.)
