    • BIOGRAPHY

      Clarence Berkahn, the youngest child of Chris Berkahn and Matilda Beck, was born in 1912 in Ormondville. Clarence worked as a labourer at Makotuku from 1935 until 1954 according to electoral rolls, and later as a farmer. Clarence married Edith Isobel Little in 1940 and the couple lived at Makotuku until the late 1960s when they moved to Napier. They had a son and three daughters. Clarence worked as a factory hand in Napier until he retired about 1980. Clarence died in Napier in 1983 and was cremated in Hastings. Edith died in 1996 and was buried in Napier with Clarence's ashes.
