Kapka, Clara (Kurth) (22 FEB 1886 – 1 Nov 1918)

Clara, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kurth, was born at Black River Falls on Feb. 22, 1886, and came to Neillsville with her parents shortly after birth. She made this city her home for practically all her life and was united in marriage to Charles Kapka on March 10, 1904. One daughter, Marie, was born to them, and who, with her father, remains to mourn the loss of a kind and thoughtful wife and mother. Mrs. Kapka was of a genial and pleasant disposition and her personality attracted to her many very sincere friends who were deeply shocked to learn of her death which occurred at Stockton, Cal., on Nov. 1st. With her daughter she had gone to California on March 10, 1918, and was a victim of Spanish influenza. Her funeral occurred at Stockton on Nov. 7th. Mrs. Kapka is also survived by her mother and sisters, Mrs. I.H. Lowe of Neillsville, Mrs. Rudolph Neverman of Fresno, Cal.; Mrs. C.G. Berlin and Mrs. Everett Kelly of Stockton. Also by one son brother, Arthur, who is in the army. Mrs. Kapka was a member of the Royal Neighbor Lodge of this city.
