REMSEN. Bell-Enterprise. John Klingbeil, an old resident of Henry township, died of old age Sunday, Oct. 26. Deceased was born in West Preussen Germany, January 27, 1822. Twenty years ago he came to this country with his family and settled in Adair county. During the past 17 years he resided in Plymouth county. He is survived by his wife who has reached the high age of 80 years, four daughters and six sons, who all attended his funeral last Tuesday. John Klingbeil was of the old Teuton stock, a good American citizen, though in his heart he always had a kind remembrance of the motherland. – Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1902, page 3.
