Frederick Kleinhans

    Frederick Kleinhans, foreman of the Lawrenceburgh Furniture Factory, is a native of Germany, born in 1835. He spent his early years in his native country, where he was educated and learned the trade of carriage manufacturer. In 1856 he immigrated to the United States and located at once in Lawrenceburgh, where, for six years, he followed the business of mill-wrighting, after which he began work at the furniture trade which he has since continued.

    Mr. Kleinhans was married in 1859, to Miss Martha Ekil, who came from Germany to this country in 1858. They have seven children living: Mina, Anna, Rosa, Tillie, Freddie, Hermann and Charley. Louise is deceased. Mr. Kleinhans is an industrious worker, and well qualified no doubt for the discharge of the duties devolving upon him in his position.
