In 1926 the first Klingensmith Family Reunion was held. This is the story and genealogy, the family history, of the Klingenschmidt, Klingensmith, Steinle, Stanley, Arn, Carpenter, Müller, Miller, Bischoff, Bishop, and related families that were part of the Klingensmith Family Reunions. With many of the families immigrating from Germany, a little German history opens the book to provide context for the rest of the story. A 1943 diary and numerous family pictures throughout provide glimpses into the lives and times of the individuals that are part of the family.
