Christina Maria Klingler Oswald
1877-1922
It was June 6, 1877 when Christina Maria Klingler was born. She was the first child of Friedrich Ludwig Klingler and Anna Maria Bauer. They were delighted with this little daughter and looked forward to their life together. Her mother had a son, Ernst Friedrich, and a daughter, Babette Christine, before she was married to Friedrich. Although these children were living with their Bauer grandparents at the time, they were excited to welcome Christina into the family.
Friedrich met Anna Maria in Gottwolshausen, Germany. After they were married they moved to Sulz where they farmed his family’s property. Here is where Christina was born. This was a happy time for this family in spite of the hard work and concerns that faced their country at this time. It was recorded that ‘through dishonest means’, Friedrich lost the farm. This situation forced the family to move. Seventy miles to the west, where the Neckar River joins the Rhine, was the city Mannheim. Mannheim was a large city, which supported many factories, which were offering work to laborers. Several members of his family were living and working in this area. They packed their belongings and left for the city. Friedrich obtained work in a machine shop and moved the family into an apartment building.
