• Notes

  The son of Benneville & Leah (Imboden) Klopp, in 1860 he was a merchant living with his farming family in Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 3" tall and had dark hair and gray eyes. A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Reading, Berks County, August 16, 1861, with the regular army and assigned as a private to Battery K, 5th U.S. Light Artillery. He re-enlisted February 13, 1864, at Bridgeport, Jackson County, Alabama, and honorably discharged at term's end February 13, 1867, at Key West, Florida, a 1st sergeant. He married Rosanna G. Wagner ca. 1865 and fathered Ellen L. (b. 11/06/65 - married Elmer Ellsworth Zimmerman), Noah W. (b. 09/20/68), Harvey (b. 12/26/68), and Mathias (b. @1873). By 1880, he was living in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, but died in the state insane asylum from "softening of the brain," a then oft-used term to describe what we would now recognize as a variety of mental disorders. There is virtually no way today of determining which it may have been. Inscription Baty K 5th US Art.
