MARRIAGE OF ROLAND/EDNA KLINKNER
One of Two River's fairest daughters gave her hand in marriage Saturday when Miss Edna Elizabeth Mertens, daughter of Fred Mertens, 1604 Twenty-First Street, became the bride of Roland E. Klinkner, son of Mrs. Barbara Klinkner of Manitowoc. The ceremony was performed Saturday morning at seven o'clock by Rev. C.V. Hugo at St. Luke's parsonage. Miss Isabelle Klinkner, sister of the groom and Norman Mertens, brother of the bride were the attending couple. Only relatives were present at the ceremony following which the wedding party repaired to the home of the bride where a wedding breakfast was served after which the couple departed for Chicago and Milwaukee on a week's sojourn. They will be at home to their friends after January 5 at 1604 Twenty-Fourth Street.
The bride was head stenographer at Aluminum Goods Plant No. 4, a position she acquired through efficiency. She has endeared herself to many friends by her pleasant disposition and possesses the essential traits of a homemaker and helpmate. She is a graduate of the Two Rivers High School and created a sensation in the role of Martha when the opera of that name was produced at the commencement exercises of her class. The groom is accountant for the C. Reiss Coal Company, a position which he has held very creditably for several years during which time he has become well and favorably known here. The Reporter unites with many in happy felicitations.

SUP. KLINKNER DIES IN SLEEP AT TWO RIVERS
Roland E. (Doc) Klinkner, 61, of 3324 Adams St., in his second term as supervisor of the Ninth ward on the Manitowoc County Board, one of the area's earliest and most prominent Boy Scout leaders and associated with the sales division of Hamilton Mfg. Co. since 1925, died unexpectedly of a heart attack in his sleep early Wednesday morning.
Sup. Klinkner had attended the regular monthly meeting of the Manitowoc County Planning and Park Commission in the County Highway Dept. Building until its adjournment shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, and had reported to be in excellent spirits upon retiring. Mr. Klinkner, however, had been treated for a heart condition the past three years.
Born at Manitowoc May 21, 1900, son of the late Nicholas and Barbara Zahner Klinkner, he attended St. Boniface Parochial School and Manitowoc High School.
His initial employment was at the C. Reiss Coal Co. where he was a bookkeeper until October of 1925 when he entered the employ of Hamilton Mfg. Co. During his entire period of service with Hamilton he was in the sales division connected with the medical and dental equipment lines. For a number of years he was a field representative for Hamilton and had headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio.
Early Scouter
Mr. Klinkner's affiliation with scouting in Manitowoc County dates back to May of 1920 when he became scoutmaster of Troop 6 at St. Boniface parish. In 1926, having moved to Two Rivers, he served in a dual capacity of Scoutmaster of Troop 6 and the new Troop 26 at St. Luke parish here which was originally Troop 2 of Two Rivers. Serving until 1936 as scoutmaster of Troop 26 here he was made district commissioner for the Two Rivers district of the Waumegesako Council of Boy Scouts. He was on the staff of Camp Sinawa in its first year and received numerous awards during his long service, climaxed in 1939 when he became the recipient of the Silver Beaver. In February of 1956 he was the central figure in a "This Is Your Life" presentation at Marquette Hall here, which followed a Court of Honor ceremony of Troop 25, which he served as committee chairman.
Elected in 1951
In his second term as supervisor of the Ninth ward, Mr. Klinkner was elected to the post in April of 1959 and had been active on a number of committees. He was elected to a six-year term on the Manitowoc County Planning and Park Commission in July of 1960. He was also a member of the Holy Name Society of Holy Redeemer parish.
Mr. Klinkner married the former Edna Mertens here Nov. 17, 1923. She died Sept. 18, 1931. On Nov. 16, 1940 he married the former Marie Weber in Two Rivers.
Besides his wife he leaves a son, Robert at home; three sisters, Mrs. Ella Kunish, Mrs. Anita Hoyer and Miss Isabel Klinkner, of Manitowoc and a brother, George, of Manitowoc.
Funeral services will be at 9:30 a.m. Friday at Deja and Martin Funeral Chapels, Two Rivers, and at 10 a.m. with a solemn requiem high mass at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church here, the Rev. John K. Mueller celebrant. Burial will be in Pioneers' Rest Cemetery.
Friends may call at the funeral chapels after 3 p.m. Thursday where the Rosary for the Holy Name Society will be recited at 7 p.m. and for the parish at 7:30 p.m.
