There weren't any Kluth's in Tippecanoe Co., in the 1850, 1860 or 1870 census As for a Henry Kluth (b: 1874), the only one found was in 1880 Tippecanoe Co., Indiana census. His parents were John and Annie Kluth with siblings John (b: 1872), Adolph (b: 1877) and Annie (b: 1879) You might try contacting the Alameda McCollough Library and Archives through the Tippecanoe County Historical Society, maybe they could be of some help.
