From August, 1865, till his advent to Kansas Mr. Klinefelter was a farmer in Christian county, Illinois. When he had entered land in Montgomery county, he saw the necessity of a help-mate and, August 23, 1872, he married Eva Heltz, born in Germany, September 29, 1851. When seven years old, Mrs. Klinefelter came to the United States with her parents, John and Christina (Barsch) Heltz, and for twelve years resided in Indiana. In 1870, they came on to Kansas and settled in Montgomery county, where the mother died in 1902, and where the father survives at the age of eighty-eight years. Ten children were born to this venerable couple, the seven living being: Katie, Maggie, Michael, Elizabeth, Susan, John and Mrs. Klinefelter.
The issue of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Klinefelter was five children, viz: Emil, Ada, William, Maynard and Lizzie, all of whom still surround the family "hearthstone."
