Mrs. John Ammerman passed away Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. W. Whiting, where she had made her home for some time. She was stricken with the flu a few years ago and never fully recovered from the attack. The past year her health, already broken, failed very rapidly until the end came.
Cymantha Lapham was born in North Eaton, O., in 1845. When but 9 days old her mother died and a brother took the little one for a while. Then her uncle, Austen Edgerton, adopted her and took her to Michigan, where she grew to womanhood.
August 2, 1866, she was married to George Cooley, father of four children. To these children she became a real mother and made a real home for them until all grew to maturity and went out for themselves. All have passed away except Charles Cooley, who lives here.
To this union were born six children. Of these, one died in infancy; Albert Benjamin died when a little past three years of age, and Millie died at the age of 23.
Mr. Cooley was in very poor health in Michigan and a move was deemed necessary, so they moved to Nebraska in 1873. He regained his health, but passed away in 1890.
April 7, 1894, she was married to John Ammerman, with whom she lived until he passed away in 1917. She is survived by three of her children, George Cooley of Rising City, Mrs. Mary Wilson of Payette, Idaho, and Mrs. Myrtle Whiting of Albion, and by eleven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.
Coming here in the early days she endured all the discomfort of pioneer life. But she never complained. She was always ready to do her full share in making a home for her husband and children. She knew what it was to live in a dugout. She shared the fear of Indians along with the rest of the early settlers. Many gave up but she was willing to stay and help. She measured up to the top as a wife and mother.
Early in life she heard the call of her Master and gave her life to Him. She was buried with her Lord in baptism and when the Church of Christ was started here, she reported for duty. This was in 1894. Efforts had been made to start before, to which she lent her influence, but in 1894 the work was finally established. She maintained her faith all along the way, although in her later years she was not able to attend worship with any regularity.
Funeral services were held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. W. Whiting, on Second street, Sunday afternoon, conducted by D. J. Poynter and Rev. Charles G. Gomon, and the body laid to rest in Rose Hill.
