William Klaus – Friedheim’s Food Store Proprietor
A Friedheim couple who would be celebrating a wedding anniversary today will be highlighted in today’s post. I will begin with the groom, Kasper Heinrich Wilhelm Klaus, who was born on August 13, 1872. William was the son of Louis and Bertha (Dickmann) Klaus. A post about William’s parents was written this past May titled, Klaus Fruitfulness Fills Friedheim Pews. William was the firstborn child in his Klaus family. I am not quite sure where William was baptized. He had several later siblings baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Friedheim, but not William. His later confirmation record from Trinity says he was born near Arnsberg, so it is somewhat likely that he was baptized there.
