Henry W. Klotz, Sr.

Henry W. Klotz, Sr.

Henry W. Klotz, Sr. was the proprietor of a house and a service station on First Street, Russell, Arkansas, that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Arkansas.

Klotz worked as a mechanic for the White Way Service Station, which supplied White Rose gasoline, from which its name derived. When the station was demolished Klotz built Henry’s Garage beside his home. [Penny Warner, 'Russell: Crops, railroad, busy shopping once kept residents hopping', "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette", November 14 1999.] He also participated in the family ice delivery business that supplied the town and outlying areas until electricity distribution arrived in 1949. [Penny Warner, 'Russell: Crops, railroad, busy shopping once kept residents hopping', "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette", November 14 1999.]

Klotz's son, Henry Jr., became the town's mayor and then Recorder/Treasurer. His other son, C.E. "Bo" Klotz, served as the town postmaster for 25 years. [Penny Warner, 'Russell: Crops, railroad, busy shopping once kept residents hopping', "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette", November 14 1999.]

House

The house was a Herman Page design ordered from a Sears Roebuck catalogue by Klotz' mother and built in 1921 [Steve Mitchell, Jill Bayles and Ken Story. "History and Architectural Heritage of White County", (Little Rock, AR: Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, 1991)] or 1922 [Penny Warner, 'Russell: Crops, railroad, busy shopping once kept residents hopping', "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette", November 14 1999.] It was the first Sears Roebuck house to be built in the town and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
