Klindworth - 

Claus Klindworth, who for 43 years was a respected citizen of Chester 
Township, where during his active period he was engaged in agriculture, 
was born in Hanover, Germany, where he resided until 11 years old. He 
then in 1872 came with his parents to America, the family locating on a 
farm in Hay Creek Township, Goodhue County, Minn. After a residence there 
of one year, they moved to Chester Township, Wabasha County, taking a 
farm which they cultivated and developed into a valuable property, and 
where Mr. Klindworth died December 4, 1919, at the age of about 55 years. 
He had been an active and industrious citizen, a good neighbor, and the 
worthy head of a worthy family. His wife, who survived him, is residing 
in Zumbro Falls. Their family numbered eight children, evenly divided 
between sons and daughters, namely: John A., Anna, Alfred D., Clarence, 
Johanna, Lorena, Esther and Raymond. John A. is now engaged in the 
hardware business at Zumbro Falls, with his brother Alfred. Anna is the 
wife of Jacob B. Schwartz of Zumbro Falls. Clarence resides at Dumont, 
Minn. Johanna is the wife of Richard Gerken, and lives on the Gerken 
farm at Hyde Park. Lorena, residing on the home farm in Chester Township, 
is the wife of Forrest Atkinson. Esther and Raymond reside with their 
mother. Claus Klindworth, the father, was a man who took an active 
interest in all matters affecting the good of the community in which he 
lived, serving as road commissioner and as school clerk for a number of 
years. He left his farm of 120 acres in good condition and it is today a 
valuable piece of agricultural property.
