ALBERT OTTO KALKA
1867 - 1943
Funeral services for A. O. Kalka, prominent Lincoln county farmer, who died at his country home 4 1/2 miles east of Chandler Friday night, were held from the New Zion chapel, Sunday afternoon at 3:00.
Kalka had been in poor health for about twelve years.
Rev. W. I. Lowe, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who officiated at the services, was assisted by Rev. O. Dixon Poe, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Music was by a ladies quartet of the Presbyterian church. Interment was in the New Zion cemetery under the direction of the Gayman - Sutton - Downing funeral directors. The eleven granddaughters acted as flower girls and the twelve grandsons formed the flower guard.
A Lincoln county pioneer, Kalka came to Lincoln county in the fall of 1889, purchasing the claim right on the farm 3 1/2 miles east of Chandler on which he homesteaded. The farm is now owned by his son in law, Joe Clarkson.
Of full-blood German parentage, Kalka typified the best of German qualities. His thrift, his industry and his generosity were well known in the community. He was active for many years in school district and old township board affairs and served as a member of the school board of the old Daggett school, now Davenport Union Graded.
He never sought public office, but was intensely interested in the proper conduct of municipal and county government and everything which was for the betterment of the community.

He was converted and joined the Baptist church in 1894.
On July 17, 1896, he was united in marriage to Mabel Hestella Rowley and to this union three sons and four daughters were born. One son died in infancy.
