KLOUSE
by Marguerite Crist Calvin
There are many CLOUSE names in Ohio where I grew up. My Frank KLOUSE
according to census, was born in Switzerland, and came to America in
1872. If he was from Switzerland, would the name have been KLAUS? And
this list would not be the appropriate place to search? I assume he
used the "K" because of Klaus.
I have tracked him in Ohio until 1912. He was in Nebraska according
to family members. But I have been unable to locate him - or anyone
that appears to be him - in Nebraska on the 1920 census. He married
Minnie (Arminta) Parkinson in Ohio. They had an adopted daughter in
the 1910 census in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Any thoughts, suggestions for searching etc.would be most
appreciated. I have not found him on a passenger list. I do have two
or three other people who spell their name KLOUSE. They are in an
area where there are also CLOUSE names. Thanks for any thoughts.
