Anna 1864,   Joseph 1865,   Mary 1867,   Margaret 1868,   Catherine 1876,
George 1878,   Rosa 1884 and Jacob born 1886.
We also found a George Klerlein in York Pa. 1870 listed as a cigar maker from Maryland.
He is still on the 1910 Census  with wife and daughter Katherine
Katherine G. Klerlein was born about 1880 and married a Linus Eugene Topper in1926

Received some information on some of the Baltimore Klerleins.
I wish to thank Cheri Johnston for taking the time to send me the following
From Departed this life, Death Notices from the Baltimore Sun 1854-1856 Family Line Publications. 1986 page 99
Klerlein, John L age 62 on the 8th (late of Hempstead St.) dated May 9th 1856.
Also listed in Wood's Baltimore Directory for 1856-57 is a shoe maker named John H. Klerlein.

From "Mt Olivet Cemetery Baltimore, Maryland. Winterbottom family line Publications 1989 page 112
Lot 69C lot owners are Maurice Rushworth, Mary R. Howard, Hasson Hiltner, John H. Klerlein, Luther Brill and Mary Brill.  in lot with others are Blanch V. Klerlein, May 6, 1957 and John H. Klerlein  Mar 8th 1962.* Believe this to be
a son of Gustave Klerlein and Amelia  as he mentioned as brother to Sophia Klerlein when she died. He would have
been born in 1875.  

 * 10-31-98
I was going through some old letters from my grandmother.
She asked in the letter if I remembered my Aunt Faurinenot Howards house on Orange St. in Baltimore.
This may connect me with Mary R. Howard above and to the Baltimore Klerlein listed above.
If you have any information  on the Howards  that lived on Orange St. in the early 1950's in Baltimore, Maryland,
  please contact this site I would appreciate some help. This has to be a great Aunt  on the Klerlein side.

PAUL ANTHONY KLERLEIN (1918-1977)

 My sincere thanks go to Lawrence Heyn for  a lot  of the information on the Baltimore Klerleins.
His research indicates that while he is not a Klerlein we are still cousins on the Wack and Decker sides of the family.
If you have any information to share both Lawrence and I would be happy to get information on any of the above families.
The Wacks  were from Maryland and Pennsylvania.
