OBITUARY.
ZUMVORDA
Jennie L. Owen, daughter of W. R. and Maria J. Owen, was born in Cresco, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1877. Here she grew to womanhood. In 1893-4 she attended school at St. Joseph's, Dubuque, where she pursued the study of music and art. On the 27th day of Dec., 1902, she was united in marriage to W. D. Zumvorda of St. Paul. To this union were born three children, two sons and a daughter, Janet aged 7, Harry aged 5, and the baby boy of a week. In addition to these are left the bereaved husband and mother. The death of her father, which occurred Dec. 14, eleven weeks ago, weighed upon her heart with a grief that could not be consoled. Last Wednesday morning, at 7:15, the exact hour of her father’s death, she answered the summons of the Death Angel.
The funeral took place last Friday morning at the Congregational church, the services being conducted by Rev. Gammons, assisted by Rev. Hinman. Interment in Oak Lawn.

Transcriber’s Note: Her gravestone shows the spelling of her last name as Zumvorde.
