    • By granddaughter Rose Klein (1889-1978) circa 1970
      Michael and Mary Gertrude Grohs came to this country in the spring of 1842 from Prussia Germany near the Rhine. They settled in Darboy about half a mile north from where the church is. There were ten German families and three single men, John and Jacob Schneider and Mathew Klein. Mathew was my grandfather's brother. He was younger than my grandfather; seemed he was staying with my grandparents , so they paid Mathew's fare and their own. Mathew paid his fare back to my grandfather. Later on they paid for their land, bought a barrel of flour and had $4.00 left. Grandfather went to Green Bay to work, got twenty five cents a day don't know what work he did there. He was a carpenter by trade. Another man from Darboy went with him to Green Bay to work. Sometimes on Sunday one or the other would walk home to Darboy to see how the family was getting along. My grandmother was alone with the children and there were Indians and wild animals around. My grandfather carried some flour from Green Bay to Darboy, don't know how many pounds. Grandfather's brother worked in Green Bay too. He was handy at setting and filing saws. He worked at saw mill and had to take half his wages in merchandise. Must have been a general store. There first house was built of logs. They had to get it up in a hurry. I suppose one side of the house was a hill. Later on they built another one. There was no church at Darboy or Sherwood. The grandparents Schaefer used to walk down to my grandparents sometimes on Saturdays and stay night at my grandparents, then in the morning they didn't have so far to go. There was a church at Little Chute but no bridge across the river. Someone used to take them across with a boat. I heard he charged fife cents. One time my father went to Little Chute for Christian Doctrine. He walked across the ice, but when he was ready to go home he had to go to Kaukauna because he could not walk across the ice any more. After they built their house, they put in some turnips. I guess it was too late for anything else and not much land was ready for cultivation either. So they had turnips and they bought peas from Joseph La Mure settled in Darboy in 1838 or 1839 and they had more land in cultivation, so he raised peas. He was a Canadian Frenchman and his wife was a fullblooded Menominee Indian. They had four children, two boys. One's name was William. He was Mrs. Martin Speel's father and his wife was part Indian. I don't know the other boy's name. The two girls were Mrs. Jerbes and Mrs. Creviere.
    Namesake Klein Street in Kaukauna is named for him.
