Narrative

I think Walter and Barbara had children but, because they weren't married until after the 1940 census, the children are hard to find. The children may be in Columbus or in Martins Ferry. They are probably mentioned in the obituaries for Walter and Barbara.

There is an obituary for Walter in Columbus:
The Columbus Dispatch, 21 July 1993, Page: 07B
ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Walter T. Klotz, 77, June 26.

Barbara has an address in US Public Records in Columbus:

Name: Barbara Klotz
Birth Date: 7 Oct 1921
Address: 1801 Riverside Dr, Columbus, OH, 43212-1814
Her last residence is Delaware, Delaware County, Ohio

and she has an obituary in a Martins Ferry paper:
