Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 484-485:
Klie. The Klie family, so worthily represented in Colchester South by men of the highest integrity and public spirit, originated in Germany, the emigrant ancestor being Godfrey Klie, the grandfather of Henry and Albert Klie. He was born in Germany, where he became a property owner. He married Charlotte Stolter, and to them were born: ... Henry; ... In 1855 the family left Germany for Canada, and in time settled on a 200-acre tract in the New Canaan settlement of Colchester North...
     Henry Klie, son of Godfrey, accompanied the family to this country in 1855. In Germany he had wedded Louisa Duva, who was born in Oldendorf, Germany, May 26, 1826, daughter of Christian and Hedwig (Owen) Duva, farming people of Germany...
     For three years Henry Klie remained on the New Canaan farm, and then took his family to northern Michigan and the "Soo", and also spent some time in the copper country. Owing to the Rebellion in the States he was thrown out of employment, and returned to the County of Essex, for a time being employed at Windsor for fifty cents per day, and for a time at Walkerville by Mr. Hiram Walker. Later he again took up farming in Colchester North, but there was hardly a chance to make a living at that time, so Mr. Klie kept an outlook for more favorable opportunities. In time he succeeded in renting the Asa Wilcox farm, on the lake front in Colchester South, and from that time on fortune favored him. After ten years of hard work on that farm he purchased the Peter Knapp farm of 100 acres, in that township, paying a part down, on a valuation of $6,500. This farm needed much improvement, and Mr. Klie and his sons turned their attention to developing it into the best property of its kind in the county. The father died upon this farm, March 18, 1884, aged fifty-nine years; his widow survives. They were members of the Lutheran Church. In politics he was a Conservative. To Henry Klie and wife were born the following children: Augustus, a farmer of Colchester South, married Libbie Geisel, and had four children; Mary, deceased, married Wesley Wright; Henry; Louisa married Walter McCormick; Emma married Daniel Snider; Albert is mentioned below; Alica married William Springel, of Germany, and has two children; Annie married William McCormick, of Colchester South, and has two children.
