Independence, Iowa, March 1 - Special

The death of Frederick F. Klammer occurred on Monday morning at 8 o'clock after an illness of almost a year as the result of a stroke of paralysis, which he suffered in June, 1922. Since that time he has been steadily failing, and recently he has been almost helpless.

He was born in Pulsberg, Germany, on September 27, 1844, and came with his parents to America when only a boy 14 years of age and they settled in Ohio, where he in November, 1861, enlisted in Company B, 68th Regular Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served with his organization until he was wounded in the battle of Atlanta, Ga., when he was transferred to 124th Company, second battalion, Veterans Reserve corps in March, 1865. He received his honorable discharge at Columbus, Ohio, on July 18, 1865. Soon after he and his parents came to Iowa and settled in Fayette county.

In 1876 he was united in marriage to Louise Friedman, who passed away in 1889. To this union were born five children, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. Susie Retland, of this city, Mrs. Christine Chase of Lexington, Ky., Mrs. Bertha Robine, Balboa, Canal Zone, Rev. A. C. Klammer of St. Cloud, Minn., and F. W. Klammer of Mora, Minn.

In 1889 he was again united in marriage, this time to Mrs. Alice Kennicut and to them was a son who passed away in infancy.

He and his wife then went to Alabama to reside, where they made their home until July, 1922, when they came to this city and have since made their home with the daughter, Mrs. Retland.

The funeral services were held from the Retland home in this city on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. W. M. Fritschel of the Lutheran church officiating. Interment was made in the Wilson cemetery east of this city.
