Yet another Joachim, this time spelled Klaessy, arrived here and married yet another woman named Anna Katharina. Anna Katharina Luchsinger had been born in Norway to Glarner parents, Samuel and Anastasia (Tschudi) Luchsinger. The Klaessys farmed in the Town of Jordan and then in 1891 moved to a farm near Renwick, IA.
Emigrating in 1853 was the Melchior and Margaretha (Wichser) Klassy family. Melchior and Margaretha traveled on the immigrant ship Manchester from LeHarve to New York City arriving on October 24 with sons Thomas, George, Melchior, Heinrich and Fridolin (baby Fridolin was not listed on the ship manifest). The Klassys farmed in the Town of Washington near the New Bilten settlement. Two generations later Melchior Klassy grandsons Herman F., Henry C., and William E. all farmed on adjoining farms in the same land and area of where their father Henry had farmed. These Klassy farms were along Fairview Road southwest of Monticello. Growing up on these adjoining farms were Edwin Klassy, New Glarus agriculture teacher, Roger Klassy of Klassy Milling, and Kenneth Klassy who married New Glarus native Grace Figy.
Melchior and Margaretha had two granddaughters, Mae and Caroline Klassy, who for 45 years ran a millinery and gift shop in the Eugene Hotel building on the southwest corner of Monroe’s Square. It was appropriately called the Klassy Shop. Mae had attended millinery design school and had been employed designing millinery items in New York City before returning to Monroe.
