"In the demise of George Allewalt Klinefelter, which occurred on the 7th of 
March, 1923 when he was 63 years of age, Baltimore sustained the loss of one of 
her chief benefactors as well as prominent business men." (condensed from this 
point) George Allewalt Klinefelter was born in Hanover, York County, 
Pennsylvania April 13, 1860. His parents were George Deal and Deliah (Allewalt) 
Klinefelter, the latter a daughter of Jake Allewalt of Shrewsbury, Penn. George 
Deal Klinefelter, who was a native of Shrewsbury, Penn. and a son of George 
Klinefelter, engaged in business as a grain merchant on Light Street, in 
Baltimore, Md. to the time of his retirement. As prosperity attended his well-
directed efforts, he made investments in other states. He passed away in 
Hanover, Penn. aged 82 years. To him and his wife were born two children, the 
younger being a daughter who died in infancy.

George A. married Sarah Bertha Young of Wm. Jacob and Louisa Catharine Young.
