Kloehr was born in 1858 in Germany. He came to America in 1870 with his family. In 1884 he married Katherine Huff.

Kloehr also engaged with the government in handling cattle on the Canadian river for a year, spent about a year prospecting precious metals in Colorado, and then returned to Coffeyville. He then started buying and selling horses, which lead him into the livery business. He ran a livery business for a time, which he later developed into a storage garage business. While still maintaining his business, Kloehr became Coffeyville's Chief of Police. In 1908, he instituted the use of a gold police chief's badge. Kloehr died in 1927. He was awarded a large gold medal with a diamond and a Winchester rifle that exist to this day!
