Alfred Klindworth, a member of the firm of Klindworth Bros., hardware 
dealers and garage proprietors, of Zumbro Falls, was born in Chester 
Township, this county, August 26, 1893, son of Claus and Katherine 
Klindworth. The first 22 years of his life was spent on his parent's 
farm, and his education was acquired in the district school. At the age 
of 22 he came to Zumbro Falls and entered the employ of Gray and 
Klindworth, the latter member of the concern being his brother John. 
After three years he bought Mr. Gray's interest and became his brother's 
partner, the name of the firm at the same time being changed to 
Klindworth Bros. They do a profitable business in hardware, also selling 
auto cars and tractors, and running a repair shop in connection with their 
garage. Alfred Klindworth was married in 1915, in Gillford, Wabasha
