MRS. M. MUMMERT DIED TUESDAY IN OMAHA HOSPITAL

Mrs. Mary A. Mummert, a resident of Blair for more than 70 years, passed away at the Methodist Hospital in Omaha on Tuesday of this week. She was 82 years old.

Mrs. Mummert was born at Tipton, Iowa May 5, 1871 and came to Blair with her parents at the age of 12. She received her formal education here, and on November 11, 1891, she was married to D.Z. Mummert, also of Blair. The couple first lived on West Washington Street in the home now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. G.L. Dixon. Some time later they built the present Mummert residence on South Street, and this continued to be in the family for the remainder of her life.

Mrs. Mummert became the mother of two children, David Mummert of Blair and a daughter, Gretchen, who preceded her in death three years ago. Her husband died in 1941.

Besides her son, she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Louie J. Cooke of Omaha and Mrs. Alice Newton of Denver.

Mrs. Mummert was a life-long member of the First Methodist Church.

Funeral services will be held Friday at the Methodist Church at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Donald Springer conducting the services.

Burial, under the direction of the Campbell Mortuary, will be made in the Blair cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Philip O’Hanlon, C.J. Schmidt, H. Lyle Guyer, Louis Murdoch, Jack Varley and Walter Gutschow.
