Notes for Edward Kleiboeker
Edward was a farmer and died of Pneumonia. He also had myocardial failure and inanitition and malnutrition, was no longer willing to eat.

His baptism sponsors were Herman Kleiboeker and Gerhard Kleiboeker

Ed and his brother Henry and a laborer, named Henry Nobe (Born Feb 1882) all lived together in the same household in Lawrence County MO according to the 1900 Census: They rented a farm together. It was Household # 49 on Sheet #4 of the 1900 Census of Freistatt Township, Supervisor District #13, Enumeration District #89. Also note that John Nobe, brother of Henry Nobe was living with the Holle family also as a hired hand in 1900 census.

Ed was known to have played the violin.

According to the 1910 Census, Edward and his wife and two daughters were living in Herkimer, Kansas in Marshall County. He rented a farm there and Emma was 38, Ed was 39 and their two daughters were Irene 7, and Della 5. So Ed and his family lived in Kansas sometime after 1904 (Della was born still in Freistatt MO on May 24, 1904) and they moved back to Missouri before 1920, when the census has him living in Hoberg.

The Union Pacific Railroad (formerly the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railway) ran through Herkimer Kansas, so Ed most likely wanted to replicate his Southwest Missouri experience by getting some cheaper land and access to the Railroad to ship his grains or livestock. The Railroad went directly to St. Joseph MO where there was a big stockyards. In addition nearby towns to Herkimer, included Bremen, Frankfort, and Hannover, so there was a lot of fellow recent German immigrants located in Marshall County. Also many names in Herkimer were clearly German on the 1910 Census.

The Oregon Trail crosses Marshall County. The Infamous Donner Reed Party rested along the banks of the Big Blue river and lost one of its members, Sarah Keyes, who is still buried at Alcove Springs (located outside of Marysville). Many documented pioneer bodies are buried surrounding Alcove Spring.
In 1849 Francis James Marshall, from
Weston, Missouri, came to Marshall County and established a ferry service on the Big Blue River at "Independence Crossing." A few years later Francis Marshall decided to stay on in Marshall County and make it his home. He moved his Ferry business to an upper crossing now known as Marysville (the city is named after Marshall's own wife Mary).
The Marshall County Historical Society resides in the county's historic courthouse. Which is now a Museum and Research Library. The building is grand and beautiful.


By 1920, according to the census, they were living back in Hoberg Missouri on a farm Ed owned.
