Clara Munker Chilton Times June 23, 1917
Friday forenoon, June 15th, Mrs. Frederick Munker died at her home on Lincoln Street following an illness of long duration. For the past three years she had been an invalid, but was able to be up and around until some three weeks ago when she was obliged to keep to her bed, failing gradually until death came as a relief to her suffering.
Clara Petzold, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Petzold, was born at Elm Grove, Waukesha County, January 9th, 1854. When about ten years of age she moved with her parents to South Germantown, Washington County, where she resided until the spring of 1874 she was married to Frederick Munker of Charlestown and they began housekeeping on a piece of land in the southwest portion of the town of Charlestown now owned by the Meyers Brothers. The country was new at the time but they went about the work of clearing the land and transforming it into a productive farm with great energy and Mrs. Munker was no less instrumental in making this work a success than was her husband. Her early married life was similar to that of the pioneer woman of that day and they not only built up a fine farm home but added to their acreage and reared a large and creditable family of boys and girls.
In 1900 her husband died and she continued to operate the farm until 1911 when she retired and moved to this city, purchasing a home on Grand street which she later sold and purchased the home on Lincoln Street in which she died. Mrs. Munker was highly respected in the different localities in which she lived, especially so by her neighbors to whom she was always helpful, generous and kind.
She was a member of St. Charles Catholic church at Charlesburg for many years, working faithfully for its advancement and her own spiritual welfare. She was buried from there Monday, Rev Fr. P. J. Miles, the pastor, celebrating Requim Mass and the body being laid away in the family lot besided the remains of her husband.
She was the mother of five sons and three daughters, seven of whom survive her, Erhard Munker and Mrs. E. G. Woelfel of Charlestown, Frank and Fred Munker of Chilton town, Conrad of Sheboygan, Lucy and John at home. One daughter, Mrs. Lorenz Pfister of Charlestown died some nine years ago. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, five brothers, Erhard, John, George, Alois, and Frank Petzold of South Germantown and three sisters, Mrs. Michael Woelfel of Elm Grove, Mrs. Anton Simon of Calhoun and Miss Margaret Petzold of Waukesha.
