The funeral of Mrs. Solomon GAUMER, who died here Tuesday evening, is being held from the family residence, 304 West Briggs street at 2:30 this afternoon, conducted by Dr. C. L. Tennant, of the Methodist church. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.

Anna Mary STEWART, was born in Ohio, March 13, 1849. She was the daughter of James and Fannie BARTON STEWART. Her father was accidentally drowned in the river at Oakland Mills, before she was born, and she, with her widowed mother and brother John B. STEWART, endured the hardships of a pioneers life in Iowa, during her early girlhood.

The family came back to Iowa when she was but two years of age and she lived in Buchanan township, attending the country schools and teaching several years before her marriage.

She was united in marriage to Solomon GAUMER October 5th, 1871, and after one year spent in Iowa County they removed to Jefferson County where they have since resided.

She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom are living, a babe dying in infancy, a daughter Jessie at the age of eighteen months, and Archie W., who died July 21st, 1920.

She leaves her husband, Solomon GAUMER, who has been a helpless invalid for nearly four years, five sons and two daughters, Dr. J. S. GAUMER of Fairfield, J. E. GAUMER of Denver, Colorado, Dr. R. R. GAUMER, Galesburg, Illinois, Mrs. Ernest BRENNEMAN (sic - BRENIMAN), Brooklyn, Iowa, Bessie P. GAUMER, Fairfield, Chas. C. GAUMER, Moline, Illinois, and J. D. GAUMER, Chariton, Iowa, and her only brother John B. STEWART of Fairfield.

She has been a member of the Methodist church since girlhood. This is the brief history of the good woman, who labored long years in raising her large family of children, and in caring for her husband through much ill health, until she was not able to care for him longer on account of her own failing strength. Her last illness was of short duration and her last hours almost free from pain, as she went to her last long sleep.
