During her last days, family members would go through her keepsakes to keep her alert, they came across a music card that played the tune, "Roll out the Barrel", an old Czech song that she and her children would send back and forth kidding each other that they don't have to spend money on a new card every year. When it was handed to her, she opened it and as it began playing, she began to sing along with it. It was recorded. At the end days, when she was unable to talk, when it was played back to her, when you didn't think she was coherent in any way, she smiled when hearing it....over and over.

When told she will be missed, her reply was "don't cry, I'll see you in heaven".

Obituary, from FindAGrave

Marie Kocal Capek was born August 26, 1847 in Lodenic, Czechoslovakia. She died after a short illness at the home of her oldest son, Vaclav, Sunday, December 3, 1939, at the age of 92 years, 3 months, and 7 days.

She was united in marriage to Jan Capek August 23, 1869, and in 1880 came to America with her husband and oldest son, Vaclav. They arrived in Baltimore, and from there headed straight west via Chicago to Exeter, where they were met by Frank and Anton Svec, and brought to the Svec home April 27, 1880.

They picked up farm jobs and both hired out as jobs were to be had. After some time they purhased the eighty where their son Anton now lives and built a sod house. Instead of living here, however, they rented a farm from Vaclav Bernasek, which was just a little more improved, and farmed it for eleven years. Then they moved back to the home farm, and commenced to build their fortune with the aid of their family of five boys and one girl. In October,1917, leaving the home place to their son Anton, they moved to Milligan.

After her husband's death June 15, 1934, grandmother continued living in town for about two years. Mrs. Fannie Kunce stayed with her. In November, 1936, with the assistance of her dearest friend and neighbor, Mrs. Albert Placek (deceased) she packed her belongings and moved to the home of her son Frank. The last two and a half years she lived with her son Vaclav.

The deceased is survived by her five sons, Vaclav, Frank, Anton, Joseph, and Rudolph, twenty-one grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Her only daughter Anne Smith, preceded her in death July 2, 1934.

Her death certificate showed her as a daughter of Fred Buerk, with her mother's name not listed. The name Fred Buerk may have been in error, as she had an uncle Fred Buerk as well. It could well be that she listed her uncle as her father, as BonnieMargaret Jacobs wrote, on page 162 of her unpublished manuscript about the Benkelman family, that Kate/Katie was raised by Fred Buerk and Catherina Benkelman as if she were their own daughter, who was also named Catherine. To avoid confusion, Katherine Eva was called Kate or Katie, and her elder cousin (by just one month) was called Catherine.

Family Search instead shows her as a daughter Christine Buerk and Johannes Koepf, and he was listed as her father on the "Deutschland Geburten und Taufen, 1558-1898", database on FamilySearch.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Striffler were for many years active members of the Evangelical church, Mrs. Striffler being much interested in the activities of the Ladies' Aid Society. On November 15, 1933, Mr. and Mrs. Striffler celebrated their fiftieth marriage anniversary and many friends and acquantances, those of the pioneer days and those of a more modern age, called at their home to pay their respect and show their love for this venerable couple, who by their spirit and intergrity and kindness had won a large circle of friends in the community where they had long resided.

Mrs. Kercher spent most of her career in the admissions office, where she was an assistant director of admissions at the time of her death. She was known for her love of Conneticut College where 4 of her children graduated.

Mrs. Kercher directed the alumni admissions program, in which more than 300 graduates residing throughout the country visit high schools and interview prospective students, and she was in charge of the transfer-student admissions program.

She and her husband, Gerald E. Kercher, were former presidents of the Mr. and Mrs. Republican Club of new London.

Gerald Kercher, a retired Air Force major and a retired broker from Merrill Lynch, New London, said his wife was diagnosed with cencer in 1965 and "she fought it successfully for many years."

He had been studying to be a doctor but to avoid being drafted into the Army, he used his fathers passport and emigrated to America, settling in Greenfield, Wisconsin, where he met Catherina Benkelman. They moved to Cass City in 1864, and made their homestead on an 80 acre farm, 3 miles east and 1 1/2 miles north of Cass City. He was Elkland Township treasurer in 1867. They lived on their homestead until they lost everything they had in the "great fire" of 1881. They only saved their lives by staying in the sorghum fields and the Cass City river that ran behind the house. One son, George Henry, had taken up homesteading across the road from his parents, but sold his land to pay for his mothers funeral in 1883. (Courtesy of Janet Wright of DeFord, MI, September, 1996) BonnieMargaret Jacobs also wrote of George using his father's papers to emigrate, citing correspondence with Mrs. Thoams R.
