in July 1902 she married John Valentine Hamann in Oakes, North Dakota.
Mary Edna had 4 more sons;Clarence Earl, Guy H.,(lived 9 months) Lawrence Gail,Lyle Leslie Haman
.In 1911 she died. Mr. Hamann cared for her sons after her death.
I have records for a Guy Hamann (1906-1907) and a Mary Hamann (1882-1911). They are buried next to each other in the Oakes View Cemetery. I have no other records for any other Hamanns, so that leaves a ? for her husband and other children. Sorry I couldn't find more info for you but I hope this helps as it is more than you had before.
Adam Dahlstrom Oakes funeral home.
May 18,1911: Another mother has been called to meet her Maker. Mrs. J.V. Hamann passed away at 7:15 o'clock on May 12th, after an illness of about six years. She was a severe sufferer from gallstones. Some time ago she had an operation and recovered in fair shape, but on April 17th had to submit to another operation at the Samaritan and she had been in a precarious condition ever since. Mrs. Hamann was nearly 29 years of age. She was born in Dickinson county, Kansas, on July 19, 1882, her maiden name being Gray. She was married on July 16,1902, to Mr. Hamann, within two miles of the pesent home. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hamann, three sons surviving the mother, the youngest being born in February. She had another son by a former marriage. The loss is a sore one for the husband and children, as the loss of a true loving wife and mother always is. They have the sympathy of many friends. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the Presbyterian church, Rev. B. G. Jackson preaching the sermon. Burial in Oakes cemetery.

I am changing this memorial to Mary Edna Gray Hamann as I see that is her name on her grave stone. She was my grandmother's half sister. Thanks for this picture.L.Chandler
