Myrtle B. Cummins
Myrtle Britt was born in Pawnee county, Nebraska, August 11, 1874. Died at Sabetha, Kansas, September 29, 1912, age 38 years, 1 month and 18 days. The immediate cause of her death was blood poisoning. She had been sick for several weeks but was not considered serious until about three weeks ago when she was taken to the hospital at Sabetha where she was operated on. She grew to young womanhood in Nebraska but came to Kansas about eight years ago and has lived most of that time at Hanover, Kansas. She was married May 5, 1895 to Charles L. Cummins of Hanover. To this union eight children were born all of whom survive their mother. They are Marie 16 years old, Ben 14, Ira 12, Glenn 10, Keith 8, Darrell 6, John 4 and Paul a little over a year old. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Britt, live here in Seneca. She is also survived by seven brothers and three sisters. They are George C., Ben F., John B. , Lon W., Elmer and Elisha all of Seneca; and Bert Britt of Atchison. Her sisters are Misses Mabel and Grace Britt of Seneca, and Mrs. S. W. Smith of Wilsey, Kansas.
The deceased was a member of the Methodist church. She was a great home lover and her happiest times were when she was doing something to make the member of her family happy and comfortable. She ws always cheerful and had been in good health until recently and enjoyed life with her children and husband to whom she was thoroughly devoted. Funeral services were held at the home of her parents in Seneca at 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, October 2, conducted by Rev. L. R. South of the Methodist church and interment was made in the Seneca cemetery. The sorrowing family has the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
