Candace,
Thank you very much for the information. We
definitely seem to be on the same track. My Ida
Elizabeth CAPPER is listed as having a brother named
Ira b. 23 Oct 1866 and a brother named Clinton b. 03
Jun 1874. I haven't really done any searching for the
CAPPER family as I have concentrated more on the
grandfather's side than my grandmother. Ida was
married to Jonathan Edward WOLF and their daughter
Q.V. (m. Levi Andrew Butts)was my grandmother's
mother.
I found John M. CAPPER family in the 1920 Census,
Middle Creek Township, Miami Co. Kansas Microfilm T625
Roll 541 S.D. 2, E.D. 134, Sheet 1B:

CAPPER, Ira W. Brother 53 S IN IN IN
John was shown as a Farmer, General Farm, Own
employer, # of farm schedule 24, Farm Dwelling and
Family # 24. Farm Rented.
Alonzo and Joseph were shown as Farm Laborers on Home
Farm.
Ira was shown as a Farm Laborer, working out as an
employee.
(I'm not absolutely sure that "Alonzo" is the correct
name. John would not have been born for 1880 Census
and Ira was 13, so would be correct age.)
I also found the Robert Capper Family in Middle Creek
Township, Miami Co. Kansas Microfilm T625 Roll 541,
S.D. 2, E.D. 134 Sheet 2B.
