General Notes: Husband - Harry Samuel Klingler


His education was obtained in the public schools of Butler, Pennsylvania, and at Capital University, Columbus, Ohio. Direct from college in 1875, he entered his father's mill with a view of mastering the details of the business, and in 1878 he took charge as general manager, as a member of the firm of H. J. Klingler & Company. In the mill from boyhood, and thereafter without interruption for eighteen years manager of the two mills and elevator of his firm, he was recognized as a successful, practical and progressive miller. He was well known among the millers of the United States as an author of many articles on milling, and in his connection with, and lectures before, the Pennsylvania Millers' State Association. In July, 1883, he was awarded the prize by the American Miller for the best essay on "The Handling of Middlings and the Use of Purifiers," and in 1884-85 he was a monthly contributor to that paper; at the same time and for four years, he informally supported by his pen the Milling Engineer, writing occasionally for other trade papers. As "Random Reflector" he won notoriety from a column he edited, headed "Random Reflections." When the Pennsylvania Millers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized in December, 1886, he was one of the prime movers and became a director. He was at various times interested in a number of Butler enterprises, but never to such an extent as to neglect his life's work, milling. A life-long Lutheran, he served his church energetically as superintendent of the Sunday school for nearly a decade. At the fifty-first convention of the Pittsburg Synod of the General Council, held at Greensburg, Pennsylvania, September 13-20, 1893, he was elected trustee of Thiel College, Greenville, Pennsylvania.
