the battle of the Wilderness, and always felt the
effects of the wound. After the war Mr. Klinck
was appointed Assistant Assessor of the Internal
Revenue in Utica. Thirteen years ago Mr.
Klinck came to New-york and occupied the posi-
tion of Inspector of Customs. In 1874 and the
two succeeding years he served as Deputy
Surveyor. He belonged to the Oriental Lodge
of the Masonic order in Utica, and was for some
years a member of the Inspectors' Association.
Mr. Klinck will be interred in Utica, where his
remains will be taken to-night. He leaves a
