There was an Emil Park Klaus, b 6/26/1858, who came to the U.S. 1882 thru Antwerp to Philadelphia. Eventually wound up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He died 9/18/1937 in Cinti. He married a Charlotte Lampe and had children: Clara Marie, Karl, Emil Jr. and Edna. In the 1890 Cinti. Directory, he is listed as Emil Clauss living at Flat 5, Geneva Bldg., Cinti. I would have to check my notes, but I think he was possibly a race horse driver or had something to do with race horses. Any possibility of a relation with yours?
