DIED.- At his home about three miles east of this city, Thursday afternoon Jan 2nd, 1896, Christian Klein, aged 76 years, 2 months and 6 days. His death resulted from the infirmities of age, complicated with Bright's disease. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. Sponseller, of Minneapolis. He leaves five children, Joseph Klein, Mrs. M. Stauffer, Mrs. Jake Stauffer, Mrs. Charles Neumann and Mrs. J.C. Hollis.
Christian Klein was born in Germany October 27, 1819, and emigrated to the United States, landing at New York in 1840, living in that city until the fall of 1847, when he went to France, returning to New York in the spring of 1848. After staying there about three months he went to Boston, where he resided about six months and again returned to New York. In the spring of 1849 he moved to Walworth County, Wisconsin and lived there until 1879, when he came to Kansas. April 15, 1851, he was married to Catherine Platte, at South Grove, Walworth County, Wis.
NB: Connections to Pierre's father and mother are not confirmed. I have added them based on knowledge about sons Peter and Christian in the states of Wisconsin and Kansas in the US. I look forward to others adding to this story.
