Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Clarence KLOFTEN ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, April 2008 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Death Enters Kloften Home Clarence Alfred Kloften, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Kloften who reside on the Love farm in the town of Porter, died Tuesday, Feb. 18, 1908, of scarlet fever and diphtheria, aged 4 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Undertaker Boyd started early Wednesday morning, but was unable to get through the snow- drifted roads; late in the afternoon Mr. Boyd made another attempt and succeeded in reaching the sorrowing home. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Cooksville, early Thursday. None of the other children in the Kloften household have either disease. Mrs. Kloften was formerly Emelia Moe, and numerous friends sympathize deeply with the family in their sorrow. February 25, 1908, Tribune, p. 3, col. 6, Evansville, Wisconsin
