{sjt#1-23}Notes Lenore Bringham Keitzer made for Roberta Kelsey:
Probate court Tiffin, Ohio on 2nd day of Sept 1859, Seneca Co. Michael Keitzer, a native of Germany and a subject of the Grand Duke of Hessen became a naturalized citezen of the U.S.

In one place it is Hesse and in another it is Hessen. I copied the above and I am not sure it is Authentic. (I found a little information about the Kleckner and Levengood family which I can send you later. I hope to get a little more)

Henry Keitzer May 2, 1856 to Jan 13, 1944. Marietta Freese Keitzer Apr 20, 1864 to Nov 2, 1938.

Lenore died before more information was sent. -SJT

Looks like Adam Kleckner is the brother of Elizabeth. -SJT

ADAM M. KLECKNER was born in Carroll County, Ohio, April 6, 1840, and is the youngest of the five children born to Michael and Mary (Levengood) Kleckner, viz., Lavina, Joseph, Elizabeth, Jacob and Adam. The father was born in Pennsylvania in 1800, came when young to Ohio with his parents, became a hatter, at which trade he worked about ten years, and then became a farmer. He came to Monterey in 1847, served several years as Township Trustee, and also as County Commissioner, and died in 1866. Adam came here with his father, and here grew up among the first settlers. He was married September 18, 1864, to Ruth Miller, who bore him three children - Cora, Della and Berton. In 1865, he moved to Fulton County, Ind., and there Mrs. Kleckner died in February, 1879, a devout Christian, and greatly mourned by all. In 1881, he returned to Pulaski, and now owns a fine farm of 224 acres, one mile and a quarter west of Monterey. He also owns eighty acres in Fulton County. His chief attention is given to general crops, but he also rears stock to some extent.
