An undated photograph of Darwin E. Sitlinger and Kate M. [Klinger] Sitlinger, of Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, who owned the farm that belonged to Emanuel Umholtz in 1875. Darwin was born on 20 July 1887 in Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, son of George Sitlinger and Sarah ‘Sallie” [Good] Sitlinger. He died in June 1967 in Lykens Township. Kate was the daughter of Robert Edward Klinger and Mary Ann [Mauser] Klinger.
On 20 April 1920, Kate’s pregnancy was ended with a stillborn baby girl who the doctor estimated had died about eight days earlier when Kate was kicked by a cow. The Darwin Sitlinger‘s had no other children, but when both parents of Luma Shade and Allen Shade died, the Sitlinger’s took them in and raised them as their own.
Darwin is sometimes found in the records as “Darvin E. Sitlinger.”
