The following obituary appeared in the Aurora Register, Aurora, Nebraska, in the Farmvale section:
"Early Monday morning this community was brought into sad mourning by the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Dora Vanmatre. She had not been feeling well for some time and on Friday evening was very sick. The doctor was summoned and all thought there was no immediate danger. She seemingly remained about the same during Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning at about 7 o'clock death came unexpectedly. Many of her relatives did not even know of her illness and it was a great shock to them. Dora Hunnel was born in Green county, Wisconsin, on April 26, 1867. Came with her parents to Hamilton County, Nebraska, May 27, 1873. She was married to William Vanmatre June 6, 1885. To this union were born four children -- all boys, of which two were twins, one of the twins having died April, 1897. Mrs. Vanmatre was beloved by all who knew her and this community unites in heartfelt sympathy with the husband and children in the sad bereavement of the kind and loving wife and mother who was so suddenly taken from their happy home. There was a large attendance at the funeral. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Williams, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Farmvale cemetery."
