Funeral services were held on Monday, June 23, at the Immanuel Reformed United Church of Christ in Klemme, with Reverend Donna Buckman officiating. Burial was in the Ell Township Cemetery, Klemme. Cap was born on June 27, 1922 in Britt, the son of John and Cora (Roushia) Blank. They lived in Britt until Cap was 1 1/2 years old, then moved to a farm in Erin Township, where he attended the Country School #7. He attended school through the 8th grade, then helped his father on the farm. Cap married Nadine Charlotte Kimball on December 12, 1944. They lived with his parents on the farm until his parents moved to Britt. Cap and Nadine stayed on the farm for five years before buying their own farm southwest of Klemme. Cap loved to farm and he loved his animals, especially the cattle. Cap would farm from dawn to dark and then go play softball. He belonged to two teams, one in Klemme and one in Kanawha, and he was the catcher. Fishing, pheasant hunting and the outdoors were his favorite pastimes. Cap and Nadine started delivering Winnebagos in 1969 and traveled to 48 states plus Canada. They retired in 1977 and remained on the farm, spending winters in Arizona and California. Later they wintered in Tonto Basin, Arizona, so Cap could fish Lake Roosevelt. He held a record for the largest bass caught in Lake Roosevelt. They made many, many friends. Because of Cap's failing health, they moved to the Klemme Apartments in 2004. This past May he entered the Kanawha Community Home. Cap was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Cecil, Irvine (Bodie), Alvin (Joe) and Paul; and sisters, Dorothy Nieman and June Nieman. Survivors include his wife; daughters, Janice (Gene) Ross of Johnston, Judy (Daniel) Bauman of Goodell and Karen (Kevin) Boyce of Peoria, Arizona; grandsons, Shawn (Caryn) Bauman and Mark Bauman of Wyoming, Michigan; granddaughter, Samantha Boyce of Peoria, Arizona; great-grandsons, Trevor, Zakary, Jayson (Shawn) and Hunter (Mark) Bauman; and step-great-granddaughter, Lexi (Mark) Wolf. ©Belmond Independent 2008 Transcribed by: Find A Grave contributor K Markwardt-Blakewell
