• Notes

  AKA D.S. AND DAVID ESTINE LAST NAME CHANGED FROM KLOPP TO CLOPP AS HE MIGRATED.He and Mary T Clark Clopp had the following children-William Henry,Rena , Rufus, Charles C. and Mary . Darius according to records was born in Pennsylvania to Joseph Klopp and Christine Stein the 18th of Feb 1837. According to informants Darius was married to Rebecca Bender about 1857 and one child was born to this marriage her name was Vilanda Klopp born about 1859. Vilanda grew up and married in Pennsylvania and was not with her father in Missouri as far as we know. Darius Moved from PA to Ohio where for reasons unknown the spelling of his name changed from Klopp to Clopp When he married Mary T Clark in Portage CO Ohio in 1860. I don't know if the name change came about through a fallout with his family or if he merely decided to change it on a whim, or if perhaps it had to do with the reported marriage in Pennsylvania with Rebecca Bender. Darius and Mary ‘s five children were born in Ohio the family migrated to Missouri between the years 1860 and 1880. Their youngest daughter Mary was according to census records born in Ohio so their move to Missouri, if the census was correct would have been after 1876 Darius was however in Missouri in 1875 when he filed a land claim. Darius according to records was a carpenter this I am guessing was the way Darius and Mary met ,through association with her neighbor Conrad Sapp, for Darius was then living with the nephew of conrad Sapp ,William Sapp . Darius worked as a cabinet maker both Sapp family members were carpenters.Darius also farmed and was a minister during his lifetime. A story that he built his own coffin has circulated truth or rumor I don't know. His probate records show that he must have prospered for the estate given to his last wife Eura Revell Razor Klopp was not so small for the 1903 era. Darius was an honored member of the Masonic lodge from what his obituary said. There were no children from the marriage between Darius and Eura. He remained married to her until his death in 1903 in Bollinger County Missouri. There is not a lot known about Darius from the family directly only the tales Rufus, son of Darius told my father Virgil. I do not think he was in the military but I could be mistaken. Not much written about Darius ,so I am assuming his family had very little information on Darius other than he was married and living in Missouri. So Darius married and living in Missouri is how our family name Klopp became Clopp . Obituary, 20 Mar 1903. D.S. Clopp,died at his home. Funeral at Methodist Church at 1 p.M.Internment at 2 P.M. at the cemetary by Marcus Lodge, of which deceased was an honored member.
