Klingbeil Family
07 14 2008
The Watertown Historical Society
became the caretakers of the Klingbeil family
collection when Lores Klingbeil
of Albuquerque, N.M., recently visited the Watertown area.
Klingbeil is the daughter of the late
Herbert F. and Nora (Fehrmann) Klingbeil,
who lived on East River Road.
Klingbeil brought 12 boxes loaded with
family memorabilia which has become a part of the historical society's
collections. Also included in the
collection are materials relating to the life of Josephine (Henschel) Fehrmann, mother of Nora Klingbeil.
Herbert Klingbeil
was a plumber in Watertown and passed away in 1999.
The items in the collection range
from vintage clothing, including puttees, a full bridesmaid’s outfit from 1929,
a 100- year-old child's dress belonging to the late Nora Klingbeil,
blouses made in the latter half of the 1890s to Watertown memorabilia.
Klingbeil, the only child of Herbert and
Nora, was delighted to know that her family pieces would be kept and treasured
by the historical society. There are no immediate plans for the collection.
