  Biography	Aft 16 Sep 1865
  JOHN KLING, who is the owner and operator of a fine farm of 200 acres situated in section 14, Dale township, is known among the residents of his district as a good, practical agriculturist. He was born in Dale township, Outagamie county, September 16, 1865, and is a son of Jacob and Ricca Kling, natives of Germany. Mr. Kling's parents came to the United States about 1851, and after living in the east for seven years came to Wisconsin, buying 110 acres of timber land in Dale township, where they were among the earliest settlers. He built a log cabin here and settled down to clear his land, continuing to farm until February 10, 1865, when he enlisted in Company A, Forty-seventh Wisconsin Infantry, with which organization he served until the close of the war, and then returned to his farm, which he worked until the death of his wife, April 23, 1891. At that time he retired and went to live with his children, and he died at the home of his daughter, Paulina, in Wausau, Wisconsin, March 27, 1901. John Kling was the next to the youngest of his parents' six children, and he remained on the home farm until he was twenty-one years old, after which he worked for wages for five years in the woods. He then returned to the homestead, which he purchased, and he has been engaged in general farming there to the present time. On October 30, 1889, Mr. Kling was married to Ida Leek, daughter of Frederick and Carolina Leek, natives of Germany, who were married in Wisconsin, settled first in Winnebago county, and later came to Dale township and purchased forty acres of land, which Mr. Leek later sold to Mr. Kling, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Leek are now living. Mrs. Kling, who is the eldest of two children, was born November 26, 1872. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Kling, namely: Walter, Irvin, John, Luella, Adeline and Harold. Mr. Kling now has 120 acres of his land under cultivation, all fenced with barbed and woven wire. In 1900 he remodeled the residence, having built a basement barn, 38x62 feet, the previous year. In political matters he is a Democrat and he and his family are members of the Lutheran Church of Hortonville.
