Abi Clarissa (Click) Keim was the youngest of fouro daughters of Abram Click by his wife Mary Ann "Jane" (Sample) Click.

Note, there is a memorial to Abram Click who is buried near Montezuma, KS; he has a findagrave memorial. On the other hand, we do not know where Jane (Sample) Click is buried. She died around Morristown, Rice County, Minnesota in 1865.

While we do not have info about Jane's grave, we do have information on her parents and where they are buried. These would be Abi Clarissa (Click) Keim's maternal grandparents:

maternal granddad: James Miles Sample
maternal grandma: Clarissa Fralech Sample

A few years after her mother died, her father moved the girls along with his new wife (Emma D Jenkins) and their first child (Nettie) from Rice County, Minnesota to Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas. All four of these Click sisters made Kansas their new home.

Information about the girls can be found on their father's memorial which can be reached via the family links. Note that we do not know where their mother, Mary "Jane"(Sample) Click is buried We just know that she died on 26 Oct 1869 in Morristown, Rice County, Minnesota.

Abi Clarissa married Israel Keim. Together they had five children:

2) Thomas Elwood KEIM
   (1882-1943)
