Waseca Herald 6-17-1937
George Summer, aged 87 years, died at the Waseca Memorial hospital Monday morning, having been ill only 11 days, death being caused from complication incident to old age. George Summer was born in Akin, Ill., in 1850 [sic*]. He was married in that city and was the father of two daughters, who survive him. He came to this city about 25 years ago and started a truck farm. He raised fruits and vegetables and delivered them from house to house for years. The surviving daughters are Altha and Ruth of Akin, Ill. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the Pfaff funeral chapel at 1 o'clock and interment was made in Woodville cemetery.
* The 1850 Census for Franklin County IL, taken on 3 Oct 1850, states George is 10 months old. A tombstone calculator says that means he was born in Dec of 1849, but perhaps he was born in Jan 1850.
