11/16/2004 - Received Herman Klobe's death certificate from the State. Herman's parents were Carl (probably aka Charles) Klobe and Hannah Reuther. Apparently, Herman was born out of wedlock to Charles Klobe and Hannah Reuther. Charles did not marry Hannah (or she did not want to marry him) and she apparently was married off to Henry Martz, 20 years her senior. Herman was probably raised by his grandparents Adam & Joanna Reuther, and then apparently lived with his father in Philadelphia until he moved to Clinton Co in the late 1870's.
10/24/2004 - A great deal of information has come from Mary Hoffer in Clinton County. Her help is greatly appreciated. Much progress has been made as a result of her information. Additional information has been received from her on Herman Klobe and his family, and is not yet included in the history.
10/16/2004 - Exciting new information is coming on the Reuthers. Mary Hoffer, who researches families of Sugar Valley, PA, is sending information she has on the Reuthers and Klobes - Adam committed suicide, Herman John Reuther is the son of Adam's brother Nicholas, Herman Klobe was a moonshiner, and was killed with an ax by either his son or the hired hand.

1982 Reuther-Klobe-Baldwin mystery letter - Click HERE to view a transcription of a letter concerning the Reuthers with a Klobe connection written in 1982.
Reuther -
On the 1860 Census there is a Henry Reuther living with Adam Reuther in Clinton Co, PA. He is 17 years old. Is this Adam's son? Is this the same Henry Reuther, age 36, a shoemaker with family in Philadelphia in 1880 and in the 1890 Phila City Directory? What happened to his descendants? Based on a deed between Adam & Henry and his wife Emma, this Henry is the son of Adam. I have found a few of his descendants but need more information.
Carrie Reuther (Caroline?), daughter of Christian Reuther & Emilie Klobe, born about 1867 - What happened to her? Did she marry? When did she die & where is she buried? July 2007 - have found Carrie & husband Frank Harkness. Need her death, sometime after 1930, and the burial place for her and her husband.
Annie Reuther, daughter of Christian Reuther & Emilie Klobe, born about 1862 - What happened to her? Did she marry? When did she die & where is she buried?
Klobe -
Emilie Klobe Reuther immigrated from Germany with her sister and brother. What is her sister's name? Who did she marry? All I know is that she lived in Philadelphia, her husband was blind, and she had a tiny candy store just beyond 15th St on the south side of Fairmont Ave, probably late 1800's and/or early 1900's. Emilie Klobe is found on the ship's passenger list in 1854 with her sister Henriette Klobe. Still need more information on Henriette. Who did she marry? Did she marry? Children?
