From the Weimar Mercury, January 1, 1932:
Mrs. May Ammann Claimed by Death
Mrs. May Quin Ammann, widow of the late John A. Ammann, Senior, died in this city Wednesday of last week, and her remains were laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery Christmas Eve. Rev. W. L. Hightower, her late pastor, conducted the funeral services.

Mrs. May Quin Ammann was born in Osyka, Miss., July 5, 1866, and was about 66 years old at time of death. She was a daughter of the late Prof. H. C. Quin and wife of this city. She was united in marriage in Weimar to Mr. John A. Ammann, on Jan 7, 1885. Six children blessed this union, of whom three survive--Messrs. Everett Ammann and Chas. Ammann, this city, and John A. Ammann, Schulenburg. A husband and three children preceded her in death some years ago.

Two brothers and two sisters also are among her survivors--Messrs. Chas. K. Quin of San Antonio and Harry C. Quin of Oklahoma City, Okla., Misses Alice and Carrie Quin of San Antonio, also one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mae Ammann, this city, and a number of grandchildren. All were present except Mr. Harry Quin and family, who on account of distance were unable to make the long trip here.

Mrs. Ammann spent the greater part of her life in and around Weimar. For many years she and her husband lived on their farm a short distance north of town, later moving to Weimar, and for a number of years preceding her death she had resided in our community. Her mother dying while she was still a small girl, she took up the burden of responsibilities and kept the family together, caring for her brothers and sisters until they were able to care for themselves.

She ever proved herself a devoted and painstaking wife and mother, and until physical ills crippled her was an active worker in Christian circles. She was a woman of amiable disposition, a kindly neighbor and friend, devoted to her family, and her death has brought much sadness to her family and large circle of friends throughout this section.

Our heartfelt sympathy is extended her bereaved ones.
