Lake Odessa Wave - Times - March 9, 1944
          JOHN KLAHN, 87, DIED TUESDAY
   John Klahn, 87, died at his home on Sixth Avenue here Tuesday afternoon following
many months of failing 
heath due to the infirmities of old age.  He was born in Germany and came to this
country with his parents 
when he was a young boy.
    He was married to Miss Wilhelmina Christie of Lowell on October 28, 1886.  About
53 years of their married 
life were spent on their farm two miles west of town, and four years ago they
retired from farming and moved 
to Lake Odessa.
   Mr. Klahn was a member of the official board of Central M. E. church a number of
years ago, and for several 
years was a director of the old Lake Odessa State Savings bank.
   He is survived by the widow, four children, Arthur in Lansing, Mrs. Venon Koutz,
Alton, and Ernest in 
Odessa; three brothers, William near Alto, Henry and George at Elmdale, and Fred in
California, and a sister 
Mrs. Elizabeth Averill in Grand Rapids; also eight grandchildren and six great
grandchildren.
   Funeral services were held from the Wortley & Baine chapel Wednesday afternoon
with the Rev. Charles E. 
Thies of Central Methodist church, officiating.  Interment was made in Lakeside
cemetery.
