Freeport Journal Standard, Freeport, Illinois June 9, 1934

Frederick Klipping, a resident of Pearl City, passed away yesterday afternoon, June 8, 1934 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. V. Aurand, 616 South Galena Avenue. MR. and Mrs. Klipping had been visiting in Freeport for the past few days at the homes of their daughter and their son, C. H. Klipping. He suffered a stroke recently which resulted in his death.

(Alice Horner's note: His obituary doesn't state this, but his parents were Fred and Yetta [unknown maiden name] Kloepping. As far as I can tell, these elder Kloeppings, Fred and Yetta, used the Kloepping spelling of their surname themselves, but the census takers didn't consistently. The obituary for the Frederick Klipping who died June 8, 1934 spells his surname Klipping, but Oakland Cemetery personnel told me their records show his name as Kloepping.)

Mr. Klipping was born in Freeport in 1856 and spent his early boyhood here. Later he moved to Carroll County where he resided for some years and then resided on his farm in Loran Township. For the past sixteen years he resided at Pearl City. Mr. and Mrs. Klipping celebrated their golden wedding two years ago. Besides his wife, Margaret Klipping, he leaves the following children: Louis Klipping of Grundy Center, Iowa, George Klipping of Rockford, Ephraim Klipping of Pearl City, Elta Aurand of Freeport, Clarence Klippingt of Freeport, and Oliver Klipping of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. One daughter, Edith Edler, preceded him in death. The following brothers and sisters also survive: Ernest of Chadwick, Will and August of Lanark, Charles of Pearl City, Mrs. Conrad Koertner of Freeport, Mrs. Fred Ploeger of Pearl City, and Mrs. Mary Hauseman of Gilman, Illinois.

Funeral services will be conducted at the home in Pearl City at 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, with services at 2 o'clock at the Lutheran Church. Rev. F. H. Schroer will conduct the services assisted by Rev. William Beuscher of Freeport.

Alice Horner's note: Oakland Cemetery personnel in Freeport show he was buried there on June 10, 1934
