Obituary from "Primitive Christian," Wichita, Ks., dated Tuesday, March 15, 1904, page 8:


"Again we are called to the sad duty of recording the death of a mother in Israel.


Sister Nettie Plummer has gone to her reward. She died at her home near Douglass, Kan., Feb. 19, 1904, aged 73 years, 2 months and 8 days.


Sister Nettie Plummer, whose maiden name was Stewart, was born in Putnam Co., Ind., Nov. 11, 1830, and was the oldest of ten children. Her mother's maiden name was Wright, sister of Nathan Wright, of Providence, Kan., and Ezekiel Wright, of Putnam Co., Ind. Her mother is still living in her 94th year.


Our sister, at the age of 17, became the wife of John Wilson Plummer, who passed to his reward 12 years ago. To them were born ten children, three sons and seven daughters, all of whom lived to be heads of families. Eight are still living and were all in attendance upon the burial of their mother save one daughter, Mrs. Frances Dooley whose home is in Iowa.


In 1849 Sister Plummer's husband and little child left their Indiana home, moving to Washington Co., Iowa, where they remained five years. Then they moved to Appanoosa Co., where they remained another five years. In the summer of 1859, they came to Kansas, settling in Pottawattamie Co., Kan., where they made their home for 11 years. In the spring of 1870 they came to Butler Co., taking a "claim" two miles north and four miles east of Douglass where they made a most beautiful home and from which they each were borne to their last resting place. When yet in her girlhood our sister became a christian uniting with the Long Branch church in Putnam Co., Ind. She was faithful until death.


She was a humble, earnest, christian woman, most devoted to her family, self sacrificing to a fault, considering no labor she could perform, or sacrifice she could make for them too great, and when her children had all gone from her fireside to make homes for themselves, she devoted her life to the care of her orphaned little grand children in which doubtless she over taxed her strength. Her death was from apoplexy. But rest is found, all weariness is gone and the earnest, devoted, loving child finds rest in the paradise of God."
