Abenheim was probably the village where Elisabeth's grandfather, Philipp Jacob Leidemer, was born. Philipp Jacob Leidemer was likely the boy who was baptized in Abenheim on May 12, 1767, the son of Nicolaus Leidemer and Maria Magdalena.

Philipp Klock and Elisabeth Leidemer lived in Abenheim until 1859.

Philipp Klock, Elisabeth Leidemer (daughter of Franz Jacob Leidemer and Maria Franzisca Huber), children and Elisabeth's stepchildren migrated to southern Brazil in 1859. The parents and some siblings of Elisabeth also migrated to Brazil. A study about the descendants of the Leidemer and Klock couples was published by Priest Frei Eugênio (Renato Francisco Schmidt) in his book "História e Descendência dos Ledemer - Klock - Schmidt - da Alemanha para o Brasil / Renato Francisco Schmidt (Frei Eugênio)", Porto Alegre: Evangraf, 2012 (ISBN 978-85-7727-440-6).

In the book "Povoadores do Rio Grande do Sul 1857-1863, AHRS, Porto Alegre: EST, 2004, ISBN 857517061-9", it appears on page 126 that the couples Klock and Leidemer arrived at the port of Rio Grande on November 13, 1859. They were imported by Montravel & Cia through the ship called Flandre from Antwerp. (Reg. 4842-4850, page 152, No. 49-58. Reg. 4817-4821, page 151, No. 24-28.)

In the state of Rio Grande do Sul (southern Brazil), his family went to live for a few years in the colony called Santa Maria da Soledade, current municipality of São Vendelino. Subsequently, the family moved to Santa Manoela, in the municipality of Paverama. Philipp Klock passed away in Santa Manoela. After Philipp's death, Elisabeth moved to the municipality of Bom Retiro do Sul.

Elisabeth Klock, geb. Leidemer, died in Bom Retiro do Sul, RS, Brazil, on January 25, 1913 (at age 88).

Her children "Margarida Klock" and "Philipp Klock (Felipe Klock, filho)" were born in Brazil.
