I have long searched for the place and date of death of Simon A. Klinger/Clinger (b.1810),
my gr-grandfather. He was first married to Margaret Dingman, who died in the early
1850's, and later married Christina Pannebaker, the widow of his brother Thomas. The
Klinger family (including Simon's parents and siblings) lived in the Winimac area of
Pulaski County, but at some point Simon moved to Starke County. He is listed in the 1870
census, living in Washington Township. Also listed are Simon's wife, Christina,
Christina's three
youngest children by her marriage to Thomas, and three of the children born to Simon and
Christina. They were to have another child in 1872. At some point between 1872 and 1880,
Simon died. Christina moved with her children to the West Lafayette area prior to 1880. I
have searched records in Pulaski County and Tippecanoe County, with no success. At this
point, I am assuming he must have died in Starke County. Any information would be
appreciated.
