.F. KAPING

From Der Nord Westen, 20 Feb. 1896:
Death of Fred Kaping, a farmer in Town Eaton, who was found
dead of a heart attack in his bed on Sunday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jochim was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, whence he immigrated to the United States in 1851 with two brothers. (one brother was Ludwig Kapping )They came by way of Milwaukee and first located at Holstein, Wisconsin. Later Mr. Kaping came to Manitowoc County and took up some government land in Eaton Township. There he erected a log cabin, then energetically applied himself to clearing his land and placing it under cultivation. He was unfamiliar with agricultural pursuits as he had learned weaving in the old country and had always followed that trade until he came to the United States.

Later his parents joined him here, but they subsequently removed to Holstein and there they both passed away at a ripe old age. Unto Joachim and Josephina Kaping there were born seven children, four of whom are living as follows: Elisabeth, at New Holstein, Wisconsin; Christian, who is a resident of Manitowoc; Fredrick, our subject; and Franz, who is also a resident of Manitowoc. The mother passed away in 1866 and the father married again. He lived to attain the age of seventy-five years, his death occurring in 1895.
printed in the History of Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, Volume II which was published in 1912.
