Johann M. Klassen Papers

  • US BCMLA 00/MS.499
  • Collection
  • 1901-1917

Several volumes of the almanac Germania-Kalender used as a diary. These volumes apparently belonged to Johann M. Klassen (1846-1918), based on the mention of his 60th birthday in the 1906 volume, and various other names of family members mentioned in various places, and the connections to Hamilton County and Syracuse, Kansas. The 1906 volume has the most extensive notes and diary entries.

These came from Walter and Anna Thiesen of Newton, but they must have gotten them at an auction or garage sale, since the Klassens don’t seem to be closely related to them.
