Death Calls Aged Lady
Mrs. Legg Dies After Years of Illness – Was an Early Settler Here
Death has again entered the portals of a home in our midst, and taken from loved ones their mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Legg, who for many years was a resident of this city. Deceased had been an invalid for several years previous to her going, but was always uncomplaining of her lot which was at times hard to bear, but she bore it with Christian fortitude, which always stood foremost in her life.
Mary Ann Legg was born in Fulton County, Illinois, on January 8, 1836 and died at Humboldt, Nebraska, July 24, 1924, aged 88 years, 6 months, and 16 days. She was united in marriage to Edwin Vanderveer, December 23, 1853 and to their union was born four children, two of whom are deceased. During the Civil War, the husband was killed in 1862 at the Battle of Hatchie's Bridge.
On January 14, 1866, Mrs. Vanderveer was married to Louis [Lewis] C. Legg, and six children came to bless this union, two of whom preceded the mother in death. The husband and father passed away July 30, 1888.
Mrs. Legg spent her girlhood days in the state of Illinois, and in the years of 1871, she came to the state of Missouri, where she resided seven years, coming to Humboldt in 1878, where she resided until her demise. She was an invalid for the last four years of her life, and bore her sufferings very patiently. She was formerly a member of the Baptist church, but became identified with the Presbyterian church on March 31, 1918.
She leaves to mourn her going six children: O. W. [Orland] Vanderveer; Mrs. A.J. Till; J.W. Legg; Mrs. Susie Voellers of St. Frances, KS, Mrs. Nellie Hall of Table Rock, NE; and Mrs. Phoebe Hews, all of whom were present at the last sad obsequies. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon, conducted by W.H.E. Strate, and the remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband, in the cemetery in this city. The family have the sympathies of all.
