• Charts: Descendants of Peter Klinger

• Carrie E. Schwalm was born circa 1884.^3,4,5
• Some sources record that Carrie E. Schwalm was born in January 1877, but this date, given in the 1900 Census, appears to be incorrect, because her mother Emma was only 10 years old in 1877.⁶
• Some sources record that Carrie E. Schwalm was born on 3 May 1879 but this date, given in Deppen Family History, appears to be questionable. According to the 1900 Census, Carrie's parents had been married 17 years and their eldest daughter "Callie" had been born May 1883. This means that Emma was only 16 when she married Henry in about 1883. For Carrie to have been born in 1879, her mother Emma would have been only about 12 or 13 years old at the time. Subsequent Census records support a birth date of around 1883 or 1884.^1,7
• She was the daughter of Charles Henry Schwalm and Emma Jane Deppen.¹
• Some sources record that Carrie E. Schwalm was born in 1889, but this date, which appears in the Gratz History, is inconsistent with most other sources, except that the 1930 Census says that Carrie was 20 years old at the time of her marriage, which according to the 1900 Census occurred about 1899.^2,8
• At the time of the 1900 Census, Carrie and Clarence were living on East Market Street in Williamstown, Dauphin County, where Clarence was a blacksmith in coal mine. They had been married 1 year and had 1 child, a daughter Jennie M.⁶
• She married Clarence U. Kratzer, son of Jacob Kratzer and Sarah Laudenslager, on 16 April 1904, Valley View, Schuylkill County, PA.^2,1,9,6,10
• At the time of the 1910 Census, Carrie and Clarence were living in Gratz, Dauphin County, in the following household: Clarence U. Kratzer, head, 36, married for the second time, a blacksmith operating his own shop; Carrie E., wife, 26, first one time, mother of 3 children, three of whom were surviving; Albert R., son, 3; Verna S., daughter; 5, Blanch M., daughter, 1 11/12; John Mc., son, 8; Jennie M., daughter, 11; Esta M., step-daughter, 9; and Lloyd Keiter, apprentice, 18. Because Carrie was the mother of only 3 of the 6 children listed, it is not exactly clear which were her children and which were likely Clarence's children from his first marriage.¹¹
• The 1920 Census for Gratz, Dauphin County, lists Carrie and Clarence in a household with 6 children: John, 18, a laborer in blacksmith shop; Verna, 15; Esta, 19, an employee in a shirt factory; Albert, 13; Blanche, 11; and Guy, 8. Clarence was the manager of a blacksmith shop.¹²
• In 1930, Carrie and Clarence were still in Gratz, where there were 3 children in their household: Guy, 19; Ralph, 7; and Esta, 26, single, seamstress in a shirt factory.⁹
• In 1940, Carrie was living in Gratz, Dauphin County, PA.¹
