Fred Klemz & Margaret Kowalke were married 24 may 1913 in Chicago at Christ Lutheran Church on Cortez St.  Many of my Wagner Family married there too.  I have not checked any records for them yet. I have info on Great Grandparent Gottfried & Henrietta (Katchke) Wagner, both funerals at Christ Lutheran Church.
