GEORGE KLINESTIVER, blacksmith, Nebraska, was born in Germany, July 3, 1836, a son of Henry and Catherine (Hess)
Klinestiver, who came to America in 1848, located in Tionesta, and afterward on Ross run, where they engaged in
farming. They reared four children: Christina (Mrs. Peter Wolf, in Tionesta township), George, Catherine (wife

Dorcas Lawrence, who died in 1869, leaving five children: William (in Golinza), Jacob, Charles, Henry and Florence.
He was again married in 1871, this time to Miss Fredericka Baumgardner, by whom he has three children: Emma, George
and Frederick. Mr. Klinestiver is identified with the Republican party, and is a member of the German Reformed
Church.
