This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.
Mrs. Elizabeth Regine Klein, nee Schwaab, was born Dec. 10, 1818, in Freudenstein, Maulbronn Wuertemberg. At the age of 10 she, with her parents, immigrated to this country and lived in Perry county, Pa., for the period of 7 years. She married on Dec. 15, 1842, John Klein, residing near our town. Since Dec. 1881, she was a widow and lived with her children, John Klein and Mrs. George Rang alternately. For years the deceased has been suffering with some inward trouble. The last 15 weeks her pains became intense. She died peacefully on Sept. 16th, leaving 3 children and 12 grand-children to mourn her death. Her interment in the Lutheran graveyard took place last Tuesday.
