Mrs. Nuzum Passes Away This Morning
Mrs. I. F. Nuzum passed peacefully away at one o'clock this morning at her home at 1121 Oak Street where she had been critically ill for some time. A fitting tribute is paid to Mrs. Nuzum by one her knew her well: "An elect lady, who has taught us the way of life more perfectly, by her patience and gentle forbearance, her kindly and world-wide interests in mankind."
Lydia Ann McCullouch was born at Bridgeport, Crawford county, October 22, 1855, daughter of David O. and Julia S. McCullough. She received her early training in the Praire du Chien schools and from seventeen years of age taught in the school in Crawford county until her marriage.
On October 15, 1877, she was married to the Rev. I. F. Nuzum and that same year her husband joined the West Wisconsin conference and they were sent to Mount Sterling at ten point circuit. Since then they have served in the following places: Mt. Sterling; Viola; De Soto; Boscobel; Mauston; Monroe; La Crosse, Caledonia Street church; First Church, Eau Claire; Darlington; and Praire du Chien.
They moved to Baraboo in 1917 and built their home at 1121 Oak Street, where they have lived ever since.
Mrs. Nuzum joined the Methodist Episcopal church under her father-in-law's ministry at Prairie du Chien at about eighteen years of age. Her aggressive, able, just devout leadership has been felt in the parsonage home, and in the ever widening circle of christian influence. Mrs. Nuzum was keen of mind, an able helpmate of her husband and to the end intensely interested in the great world movements. She processed a humble teachable spirit that made her sought-out of such as needed her advice and help. No malice or ill-will found a harbor in the affectionate heart: but she loved and was loved of all. She will be particularly remembered as an able Bible student and teacher. All along the years she has taught Bible classes. At Mauston forty young men, now grown to manhood and acting their parts in community life could and would testify to her contributions to their lives and contributions; at Monroe it was a large mixed class of men and women and at Baraboo a large Bible class of women.
A son Walter Franklin was born to Rev. and Mrs. Nuzum, who after finishing the medical training and establishing himself in a practice in Madison, Wis., early passed to his reward November 24, 1924. His decease was an almost unbearable cross to his mother.
Mrs. Nuzum leaves her beloved companion, one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank Nuzum and three grandchildren: Helen (Mrs. John Niles), Margaret and Martha also of Baraboo, and a great-grand-child, Catherine Louise Niles; two sisters, Mrs. Etta Bells, Miss Laura McCullough, and one brother, Prof. --- McCullough of Janesville, Wis., besides many more distant relatives and hosts of friends.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist church at 1:30 p.m. Monday, March 9th. The remains will not be shown at the church but may be seen at the home, 1121 Oak street, between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. Sunday, March 8th. Published in The Baraboo News-Reporter, Fri. 6 Mar. 1931, page 4.
