Sterling Clifton Klinger/Clinger adopted by Readler
I'm searching for my great-uncle, Sterling Clifton KLINGER, born 18 Dec 1887, in Sugarloaf Township, Conyngham Valley, Luzerne County, PA. He was "farmed" out to a local family after the death of his father, Jonas Wesley KLINGER in 1900 and "adopted" by Peter and Mariah (Mary) READLER of Hollenback Twsp., Luzerne Co., PA. The 1900 census lists him as Sterling CLINGER, a laborer, age 12. It is family legend that after serving in WWI he left Pennsylvania and went westward to parts unknown, and has not been heard of since. I would dearly love to add the information of this uncle to our lineage line. He was the brother of my grandfather and the space on the "tree" needs to be filled in. Any help offered will be graciously and gratefully accepted. Many thanks in advance for your kindness.
