Mary Susan Kellogg was the second child of Austin Kellogg and Armenia Howe. Her grandfather, Helmont Kellogg, was a Rev War veteran. It is through his lineage that her ancestry goes back to Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower. She married Rev. John Crummer on 17 Aug 1841 in Southport (now Kenosha), Kenosha Co, WI.
MRS. MARY S. CRUMMER
was born in Springfield, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, June 2, 1824, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D.O. Blake, in Pocahontas, Iowa, April 2, 1910.
Mrs. Crummer's long life reached back to pioneer days. Helmont Kellogg, her grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Mrs. Crummer gave two sons for service in the Civil War, Wilber and Wellington. The deceased came with her parents to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1835. There were no steamboats on the lakes in those days and the Kellogg's were three weeks coming in a schooner from Buffalo, New York, to Kenosha, Wisconsin. One log house marked the extent of the now famous manufacturing city.
Mary Kellogg was married to Mr. John Crummer, August 17, 1841. Seven children were the fruit of this union: Wilber F. and Mrs. Ada C. Mastin, of Oak Park, Illinois and Wellington W. (deceased) and John A. Crummer and Mrs. Harriet W. Blake of Pocahontas, Iowa; Mrs. Delia A. Thomas (deceased) and Mrs. Mary E. Halderman, of Mt. Carroll, Illinois. Grandma Crummer leaves 19 grand children and 16 great grand children. The Kellogg family tree bears the name of the noted Julia Ward Howe. One sister, Mrs. I. B. Williams of Staples, Minnesota and two brothers of the deceased survive: A. G. Kellogg of Pocahontas, Iowa and Geo. J. Kellogg of Lake Mills, Minnesota.
Mrs. Crummer was preceded to the other shore by her husband, Rev. John Crummer, who died on September 10, 1890. These faithful servants of God began their work together in the Christian ministry in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rev. Crummer being the first pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in that city at a salary of $200 per year. They served in their itinerancy the following cities and circuits: Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Rockford, Geneva, Cowell's Prairie and Cynnamon, all in Illinois. Rev. Crummer was located in Pleasant Valley, Illinois, because of failing voice.
Mrs. Crummer was converted in childhood and ever was a zealous consistent laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. She was an incessant personal worker. The deceased sought to reduce to the minimum her claim for others help, while her ver life seemed to depend upon her sacrifice for others.
For the last four years of her life she was subject to convulsions. During the last six months she could not leave her bed and for her last four days upon earth she was paralyzed and apparently unconscious. The end came peacefully at ten minutes after four o'clock on Saturday morning, April 2. The earth has been enriched by this noble life.
The funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon by Rev. D. M. Simpson at the home of Mrs. D. O. Blake, a daughter of the deceased, with whom she had lived since the death of her companion in 1890. The remains were taken overland to Pomeroy on route to Mt. Carroll, Illinois, to be placed in the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery by the side of those of her husband.
Note: At the time of her burial in Mount Carroll, no marker was placed on her grave. Until the summer of 1989, the only markers on the Crummer lot in Oak Hill Cemetery were those of Rev. John and Mattie Crummer, first wife of his son, Wilbur. In the summer of 1989, a tombstone for Mary was placed next to that of her husband by Larry Crummer.
