Never married. Lived with her aunt Louise. Is shown in the 1920 census and the 1930 census and 1940 census as living with Louise and Martin in Viroqua.

In the 1950 census, she is living in Viroqua with her aunt Louise. Also in the household is the Halvor Allness family.

Her obit says that Clara died suddenly on “Tuesday morning” at a Madison hospital after a lingering illness. That would mean that Clara died on July 1st, the date on her Vernon County death record. The obit said that she had been in failing health for about a year.

May have been the only one of her family to _not_ change her name to Ekum.

Clara, Caroline, and Dorothy visited Cora at her Minnehaha Ave. home on July 17, 1944.

Clara “and Mildred and kids” visited Cora on Minnehaha on July 18, 1947.

According to the obit in the La Crosse newspaper, which had her age as 58, Clara Munson died at a Madison hospital after a lingering illness. “Since childhood she had made her home with an aunt, Mrs. Martin Larson. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Halvor Allness. The Rev. Alf Romstad officiates. Survivors include one brother, Martin Ekum, Viroqua, her aunt, and several cousins.”

Never married. Lived with her mother and brother Martin according to Cora. Her obit noted that she had been “in poor health nearly all of her life.”

Martin referred to her as his “invalid sister” when he registered for the draft.

Her obit says that she died on September 8th as does the Vernon County death record.

Census-taker Douglas Nelson visited the Anderson/Nundahl/Ekum farms (they were contiguous, apparently, which is also consistent with Cora’s memory) on January 11, 1920, and found:

Martin Ekum, 29, owner of mortgaged property, farmer in general farming, an employer. Susan, mother, 51, widow, immigrated in 1870, naturalized but no date shown. Rhoda, sister, 24, single, born in Wisconsin, no occupation.

An article in the Vernon County Censor, 5 Jan 1921 edition, said “Miss Rhoda Ekum, who has been spending the summer at Minneapolis, returned home for the holidays, accompanied by her brother-in-law, who returned the first of the week …” She had been, apparently, staying with Caroline and her family and George had accompanied her back to Viroqua,

At the time of the 1930 census, Rhoda and her mother were living with Martin in Viroqua.

In the 1940 census, Rhoda lives with her mother and Martin in Viroqua. She had a sixth-grade education.
