Biographical Sketch
An early Lubbock County, Texas, settler, farmer, landowner, and civic

County, Texas to M. F. and Lina Pfluger Klattenhoff. In 1883, at the age of 16,
M. F. Klattenhoff came to the United States from Germany. He later left his
store in Williamson County and brought his family to West Texas in 1911,
settling on a farm three miles east of Slaton, Texas. William, a long-time
Rural Letter Carrier, was active in the Republican Party, the Lutheran Church,
land settlement, and farming activities. He died in 1979.
