    William F. “Bill” Kukes OBITUARY

    William F. “Bill” Kukes was born November 28, 1930, in Carbon, Montana to Jacob W. and Katharina Kukes. He was the eighth of nine children. He proudly enlisted in the US Marine Corp in 1952 serving at Camp Pendelton, Camp LeJune, and Camp Yokohoma, Japan.

    He married Jessie Boylan on October 9, 1954. They had four children: Connie Cosner (Steve), Robert Kukes (Kelly), Jane Kukes-Penney (Ken Penney), and Shirley Ehlang (Mike). Eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren: Katharine Rupp (Justin), Dorian, Josie Lyn, and Sterling; Jason Frank (Krista) Tenley and baby due in July; Dr. Brittney Kukes Moody (Joe) and Emerson; Kolter Kukes; Karson Kukes; Casey Penney; Jessica Ehlang; and Seth Ehlang.

    Dad was fortunate enough to live out his one true passion of farming and ranching. His only regret as he got older is that he could no longer drive his prized John Deere tractors and could not ride the horses anymore.

    He passed away in the early morning hours of March 12, 2016. The family would like to thank the amazing Dialysis team, doctors, and nurses at the Billings Clinic for the care and compassion given to dad.

    In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that memorials be made in Bill’s name to the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department, the Molt Volunteer Fire Department, or a charity of your choosing.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Johann Heinrich Kukkus was born on 18 Apr 1821 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (son of Konrad Kukkus); died on 6 Mar 1900 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

    Other Events:

    • Name: Heinrich Kukkus
    • Reference Number: 3464
    • Birth: 1821, Kukkus, Samara, Russia
    • Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH45
    • Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH62
    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

    Notes:

    1886 Kukkus Family List has Heinrich as the 'Son of Heinrich', however the 1850,1857 and 1834 census show him as the son of Konrad. Also we have no record of a Heinrich Kukkus of an appropriate age to be his father.

    Johann married Katharina Elisabeth Isheim. Katharina (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum) was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia; died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Katharina Elisabeth Isheim was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum); died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 3507
    • Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH48
    • Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH62
    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

    Notes:

    The Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1834 Kukkus Census almost certainly has to be the same person as the Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1857 Census married to Johann Heinrich Kukkus. Isheim is not a common name in the Volga colonies. In fact there are no Isheims other than the Kukkus Isheims found on the original first settler lists or found in any of the 1798 census lists for the colonies.
