The great-grandparents of Winifred Kline moved west to Clarion County in 1837, settling in Ashland Township. The family had for generations spoken German and attended churches, mostly Lutheran, where German was the language of the records and the gravestones. The spoken language of the community became a mixture of German and English. The last immigrant of the famiy, Winnie’s maternal grandparents Anna Catherine Kenemuth and John Frederick, arrived in 1852, and they also settled in Clarion County. They brought a new infusion of German culture and reliance on the German language. The Klein name spelling was changed to Kline in the mid-eighteen hundreds.
