Clyde Kovar

Clyde Kovar, one of the six children of Joe and Fannie Kovar, was born October 7, 1912 near Delia.

He attended Delia Grade and High School. Since then he has devoted his entire years to farming and other interests. Clyde had many interests in his life, but his farming, 4-H work and cattle interests were his chief hobbies.

He was united in marriage to Ella Elsik of Temple, Texas, on January 14, 1936. To this union were born three children; one daughter dying in infancy, and two sons, Eugene W. and Oren Dean.

At an early age Clyde Kovar became a member of the Czech Presbyterian Church near Delia and when it was disorganized, he transferred his membership to the Delia Presbyterian Church where he had served in the capacity of a trustee, elder, and treasurer.

He was a member of the Masonic bodies at Delia and Holton, where he held many offices during the years. He was also a member of the Eastern Star at Rossville.

Clyde was a charter member and a past president of the Delia Lions Club. He also was a past president of the Czech-Moravian cemetery board.

He served for sixteen years on the old PMA Board representing Washington Township; was a past vice president of the Jackson County Livestock Association and a director of the County Fair Board.

He was a member of the ZCBJ Moravian Lodge and a member of the Farmers Union. For the past two years he served as one of the Jackson County Agents for the Farmers Union Insurance Company.

Clyde Kovar was serving his second term as a Jackson County Commissioner, being the chairman this year. He was active in 4-H Club work and was a leader for many years.

In 1952 he received a conservation award from the Jackson County Bankers Association for his active work in land conservation.

He is survived by his wife and two sons, as previously mentioned; two brothers, Frank of Rogers, Texas, and Edward of Rossville, Kansas; two sisters Mrs. Millie Badura of Rossville and Mrs. Viola Gideon of Paxico, Kansas; one brother, Rev. Louis J. Kovar, preceded him in death; many relatives and a host of friends.
