her obituary from the Dodge, Nebraska paper:

Mrs. Anna Rumery died at her home, one and a half miles north west of Dodge, last Thursday, January 28, 1915 at the age of 73 years, 3 weeks and 1 day.

She was born in the north part of Norway January 5, 1842, and came to America with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ellingboe, when ten years of age. They lived in Wisconsin till 1869, when they came to Nebraska and homesteaded the place where she died. Her husband died some years ago.

Grandma Rumery had been making her home with her son Henry and daughter Mrs. Cora Snyder, on the old home farm since her husband’s death. She had been sick a good deal of the winter, but apparently was better until a few days before the end.

She leaves six sons and two daughters, Ferd [Ferdinand], Matthies [Matthias], Henry, Mrs. Cora Snyder, Frank, Anton [named after Jacob Rumery’s father], Mrs. Paul Kraft and John A.

The funeral was held Saturday at St. Joseph’s church and burial took place in St. Joseph’s cemetery.

The family has the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement. Mother has passed away and her place can never be filled. Although all the children are grown and scattered, the love for mother is never stilled, and visits to the old homestead are not what they were when mother was there.
