Charlotte Klahn ( no date or newspaper on clipping )

Mrs. Charlotte Klahn, 101, Clallam County's oldest citizen, a resident of the west end of Clallam County for 46 years, died Tuesday noon at Forks.

Mrs. Klahn was 101 years, 1 month, and 15 days old. She leaves 117 direct descendants to the 5th generation, most of whom live in the western part of Clallam County.

A year ago there was a civic celebration at Forks when "Grandma" Klahn celebrated her 100th birthday. Every year since the old lady was about 90, the neighbors gave her a birthday party at which she danced.

Funeral services will be held next Sunday at 2pm at the Quillayute Church with Rev. David in charge and burial in the Quillayute Cemetery by the Taylor Mortuary. Grandsons will be pallbearers.

Mrs. Klahn had resided for many years on a farm near LaPush with her youngest son, William. That son died about 8 months ago but she continued to live on the farm with a granddaughter.

Mrs. Klahn was 50 years old when she left Germany for America with some of her children in 1890. Mr. Klahn remained in Germany for a couple of years, then came out to NY where the rest of the family was residing. Forty-nine years ago, Mr. Klahn came west with some of his sons and homesteaded on the Dickey River. In 1895, Mrs. Klahn joined her husband on the Dickey River homestead. After several years ranching on the Dickey River, the family moved to Shuwah where Mr. Klahn died in 1911.

The Klahns, father, mother and sons, worked together during those pioneer days, carving farms out of the toughest country in the world, surrounded by giant trees and jungle-like underbrush, the story of her toil to create homes would make a volume in itself. Mrs. Klahn took her place with the men in the woods and fields and labored from dawn to sundown each day.

Mrs. Charlotte Klahn was born on the Island of Femerland, in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Germany, Feb 3, 1840. She was married to Henry Klahn when she was about 17 years old and is the mother of 13 children, 5 of whom are living.

Her oldest daughter is Mrs. Henrietta Lokoth, of Cologne, Germany who is 82 years of age.

There are 2 other daughters, Mrs. Freda Wolgast and Mrs. Henry Bucholz, both of Jersey City, NJ. There are 2 sons, Theodore and Louis, farmers at Shuwah near Forks.

Besides the children, there are 37 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
