Mrs. Frank N. Summerbell died early Thursday morning, November 8, at the home of her son Charles, south of the village of Milton, Wisconsin. She had been in failing health for several months, and had lived with her husband in their Milton residence. On the day preceding her death, she and her husband were taken to the farm home.
Mrs. Summerbell was a daughter of Charles and Sabrina Olin Cornwall. She was born in Hornell, N. Y., July 28, 1855. In early childhood she came west with her parents and lived at Albion, Wisconsin until she was thirteen years old. Then the family moved to Milton, and in that vicinity she spent the remainder of her life.
She was married to Frank N. Summerbell in 1876. Four children were born to them. Two have preceded the mother in death. The living children are: Mrs. May Maxson, Milton and Charles who lives on the family farm. Six years after Mr. and Mrs. Summerbell were married they moved to the farm where they lived until fifteen years ago when they moved into the village of Milton.
While living at Albion, she became a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church of that place, and she transferred her membership to the Milton church of the same faith in 1873. The church has meant much in her life, and her faithfulness to the ideals of the church is well known throughout the community.
The funeral service will be held at the Milton residence on Sabbath afternoon, November 10. Pastor James L. Skaggs will conduct the service. Burial will be made at Milton Junction.
