Biographies of Scott County, 1888
Rev. Frederick A.J. Klein, of St. Augustine Church, Kelso, Mo., was born in Germany, in 1853. His parents came to America in 1858, and located near Alton, Madison Co., Ill., where the father died. The mother still survives, and is residing with a daughter in St. Louis. Rev. Frederick Klein commenced his education under the direction of Father Francis Ostrop, of Alton, and finished his classical course at the Sacred Heart College in Ruma, Randolph County, Ill., graduating from the institution in 1873. He finished his philosophical and theological education in St. Francis Seminary, four miles from Milwaukee, Wis., and was ordained in 1879, by Bishop Heiss, now Archbishop, successor of Archbishop Hennie (deceased). He joined the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and was sent by Archbishop P.R. Kenrick to Charleston, Mo., his first charge, and remained with that and surrounding missions until 1882, when he was sent by the Archbishop to Kelso, his present charge. He has a church membership of about ninety-five families and a school containing over seventy-five pupils. Preparations are being made for a new brick church. The congregation is in a prosperous condition. It was organized in 1878, by Rev. S. Kleiser, being set off from the New Hamburg Congregation.
