JOHN P. KLINK
(Post-office, Huntsville).
Mr. Klink is a Bavarian, and the son of Gotlieb F. Klink and Jacob Wena Wooldridge, both natives of Bavaria. He was born April 14, 1828, and lived in his own country until 1849. He received a good education in his native language and when 15 years of age began to learn the baker's trade, and after serving as apprentice at it for three years he traveled through Germany, plying his vocation in the different cities. As at the age of 21 every young man is required to enter the army and as no minor is permitted to leave the State, John P. being on the border line, slipped away and emigrated to the States. After a stormy and adventurous trip across the ocean, he landed at New Orleans, May 8, 1849. He first chose St. Louis as his field of future greatness, but after working at his trade there for 18 months, and at Boonville nine months, he went to Glasgow in 1852 and started a bakery for himself. He carried this on a year, then came to Randolph county and went into business at Huntsville. Fortune frowned upon his venture, and after two months he was burned out, losing everything in the world he possessed, even his clothing. He had positively not a hat for his head. Left thus, lord of himself and naught beside, many men would have given up in despair, but Mr. Klink rising like a Phoenix from the flames and with the timely aid of a friend, started again and after 14 years of hard work and close attention to business, accumulated a nice property. His was the first bakery in Huntsville and indeed in the whole section of the country. Mr. K. still owns this as well as residence property in the town. In the spring of 1866 he bought a farm already partially improved and moved out to it. He now has 440 acres of land all fenced and about 240 acres cleared and improved, a nice one-story residence, ice-house, stables and other out-buildings, also a thrifty young orchard of 100 trees, beside grapes and other small fruits in quantity sufficient to supply himself and his neighbors. Mr. Klink was married February 14, 1855, to Miss Elizabeth S., daughter of Robert Belsher, formerly from Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. K. have a family of eight children: Mattie, Jonathan, Sylvester, Louisa, Emma, George W., James F. and Mary Sue. Mrs. R. belongs to the Baptist Church while her husband is inclined to the Lutheran faith. He is an ancient Odd Fellow, and has filled many of the chairs of the order. As gold tried by fire, Mr. Klink has emerged from the furnace of life's vicissitudes. He now occupies a position which few men mid the "changes and chances of this mortal life" attain.
