Assuming your relative is female, I wonder whether that "Feeka" may be a diminutive of "Frederika"? Also, take a closer look at how the census-taker wrote the name -- could the first "e" possibly be an "r", and the "k" possibly be a "d", thereby making the name the more commonly known diminutive, "Freda"? Although, it's been my own experience with census records that, the further you go back in time, the neater the handwriting was. It's the U.S. government microfilming that was done early in this century that's a pain to work with.
