MRS. BOLMAN (Sic)
IS TAKEN BY DEATH
Widely Known and
Long Time Resident of Jerome
Succumbs to Long
Time Illness
------------------------
Mrs. Anna Bollman, well known and widely
loved resident of Jerome, and wife of C. C. Bollman, died at her home there
yesterday afternoon at 2:15 o’clock, from complications following many years of
ill health. Her death brings sorrow to a host of relatives ande friends as Mrs.
Bullman (sic) had been a life long resident of Appanoose county and had lived
in Jerome for a long period of time.
Mrs. Bollman was 59 years, 11 moths (sic) and
26 days old, and had been in semi-invalidism, since a nervous breakdown 21
years ago, when her only child, a 19 year old daughter, Edna died. During recent years her frail health had been
complicated and led to her death yesterday.
Moved to Jerome
She was born near Griffinsville and lived
with her parents there until eight years of age, when she moved to Jerome,
where she spent practically the entire remainder of her life. Two years
following her marriage some 43 years ago she and her husband lived for a time
at Concord, the Concord church being on their farm. They then returned to
Jerome, buying a farm, which is located at the edge of town and have lived
there since.
In death she is preceded by her daughter, and
father and mother. One sister, Mrs. Vera
Owen, of Jerome survives, in addition to five brothers as follows: R. F.
Sedgwick of Centerville, T. R. of St. Louis, W’m of Des Moines, Owen of Jerome
and Theodore of Jerome.
She was a member of the Believer’s church and
a woman of splendid character. She will
be remembered as having written some poetry and other writings for the
Iowegian, which were widely read.
Funeral services will be held from the Gospel Hall in Jerome at 2:30
p.m. Wednesday with David Lawrence officiating.
Burial will be at Jerome.
