The Brumm family for many years had resided at the corner of Brown and Seminary streets. Philip Brumm, a former glassblower at Illinois Glass Company, died five years ago. The family had lived in St. Louis for the past 26 years, going there after Mr. Brumm was retired from the glass plant.
Mrs. Brumm made her home at 5614 Edsall (sic: Etzel) avenue where she lived with a son. Harry, and a daughter, Mrs. Grace Brumm Smith. She had been in failing health for some time due to the infirmities of age and two weeks ago had entered the hospital.
The surviving children, besides those with whom she lived, are Mrs. Nell Martin, Mrs. Lillian Mae McIntosh and Walter Brumm, all of St. Louis.
The body will be brought to Alton for Interment in Oakwood cemetery in the family plot beside the graves of the two children, victims of the drowning, and her husband, following rites Monday at 2 p.m., at Kron Chapel, 4911 Washington boulevard, St. Louis.
