  John Klinger, son of J. A. Klinger, living about one mile south of this borough, surprised his parents and wife, as well as everybody else, by leaving for parts unknown on Monday night, 1st inst. He packed his trunk and wheeled it all the way to Washington Square, a distance, of three miles, and returned the wheel-barrow during the night. He had sold his horse, harness and buggy previously, to John Wert, for $80 cash, valued at $300. He was married to Miss Isabel Hawk, daughter of Emanuel Hawk, of Mifflin township, but a short time ago. She was still living at home, about two miles distant from the elder Klinger, where her husband also lived, but expected to go to housekeeping soon, when, lo, her liege lord and master disappeared. No one knows why he left or where he went, in consequence of which his parents and wife are in great distress. They have the sympathy of the whole community. Mr. Wert a few days after the disappearance of Klinger, sold the horse, buggy, &c., to his father for $86.

• The 1880 Census for Mifflin Township, Dauphin County, PA, lists a household headed by a "John H. Klinger," born around 1850. The household is listed immediately after that of John Adam and Lydia Klinger. It is likely that this household belongs to the John H. Klinger who was their son. John (age 29) was a teacher and was married to Isabella (27) and had 4 children: Charles (7); Amanda (5); Daniel (3); and "Liddie" (1 month). On the same page of the Census, there is another listing for a John H. Klinger, a teacher, age 30, and Isabella, age 25, with 4 children, 2 of whom appear to be identical to the previous listing (Charles, 7, and Daniel, 3). This second listing, however, lists 2 daughters: Alice J., age 5, and what appears to be "Saloma," age 1 month. Despite the discrepancies, it seems likely that the second listing is a duplicate of the first.³
