Mary J. Fleming, 75, a former resident of the Traer community, died Friday morning, September 29, 1944 in Mary Greeley hospital in Ames, where she had been a patient for seven weeks. Miss Fleming had been an invalid several years. She was taken to the hospital, after suffering a stroke, and her condition was critical from the times she entered the hospital. Mary J. Fleming was born in Grant township, Tama county, April 2, 1869, the daughter of John W. and Jane E. Fleming, pioneers of north Tama county, who settled here in the 1860s. She was one of a family of six children. The family lived for many years, on the Fleming homestead, northeast of Traer.
After the death of her parents, she and her sisters established their home in Ames, where they have resided since. She was a member of the Congregational church in Ames. During the years of her illness, she was tenderly cared for by her sisters, Annie and Mabel. May, as she was generally known, was a kind, helpful person, ministering to others as long as she was able. Many persons were the recipients of her kindnesses. For many years she was the housekeeper for her sisters, who were teachers at Iowa State college. Mabel is still an instructor in the English department. Arina has retired after many years as a mathematics teacher. She was preceded in death by her brothers, William Robert Fleming, of Buckingham township, on February 12, 1941, and J. Loren Fleming in Washington state, March 24, 1921. She is survived by the two sisters, Annie and Mabel, of Ames; a brother, Joseph M. of Grandview, Washington, and ten nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held at the Adams Funeral Home in Ames Saturday, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. Murray Alan, of the Ames Congregational church, after which the body was brought to Buckingham cemetery for burial. Those from here who attended the services at Ames Saturday were Paul Fleming and Mrs. Thomas Dinsdale, of Traer, and Martha Fleming, of Dinsdale.
