GRAF, CLARA MARTHA BRUNKOW (31 AUGUST 1961)

Mrs. Clara Martha Brunkow Graf, daughter of Ferdinand F. Brunkow and wife Helena, was born June 16, 1894 southeast of Wheaton, Kansas. She was baptized in infancy in St. Luke Lutheran Church of Wheaton, Kansas. She was confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church at Duluth, Kansas in 1908.

On March 11, 1914 she was united in marriage to John Graf, at the parental home. They moved southwest of Onaga; later from 1917 to 1933 they lived at Neuchatel, from where they moved to their present home southeast of Onaga.

To this union were born three children, two sons; Galen and Glenn, and a daughter, Helena, who preceded her mother in death.

She was always a very loving helpmate and very active in her home until a heart attack in June 1960, which left her in failing health. Her greatest joy was when she was strong enough to attend divine services. On July 23 of this year she was once more admitted to the hospital where on August 31, 1961 at 6:40 a.m. she fell asleep in Jesus, having attained the age of 67 years, 2 months and 15 days.

She leaves to mourn her departure her beloved husband, John; two sons, Galen of ‘Frankfort, Kansas and Glenn of Onaga; one sister, Flora Teske of Topeka; two adopted brothers, John of Vermillion, Kansas and August of Chicago, Illinois, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. She deeply loved her grandchildren always remembering any special occasion for them.
