When two years of age her parents came to Kansas and settled near Leavenworth where they lived until the spring of 1879 when they came to Morris county and located on a farm near the old Indian Mission. In the latter part of 1886 they came to Council Grove where they still reside. About seven years ago she was converted under the preaching of Elder Black, and joined the Christian church, of which she remained a devoted member until her death. One of her favorite songs was, "Is My Name Written There." On October 9, 1887 she was united in marriage to E[llsworth] M. Bumgarner, who mourns the loss of an affectionate wife. Two children came to bless their home, Jessie a bright boy of three years and Aggie, aged 14 months who died scarcely a month ago. Everything that loving hearts could do to ease her suffering and prolong her life was of no avail, and she died perfectly concious to the last, and not afraid of death. Her husband's name was the last word upon her lips, and with one last look into the face so dear to her she closed her eyes on earth to open them in heaven. She was of a quiet and gentle disposition, and many friends are sad because she is not. At her request the funeral services were conducted from the residence of her parents Mr. and Mrs. James Graham, by Elder Hamner, after which she was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery. She was a good woman, affectionate daughter, a loving wife, and a kind and devoted mother. She has passed through the valley, she has crossed the dark streams. She walks o'er the mountains that wondrously gleam, And now the dark waves which their green borders chafe. Have died out of hearing,--she is safe, she is safe. This brief sketch is the last loving tribute of one who was her playmate, and friend from childhood. E. H. From The Council Grove Republican, Friday, April 15, 1892.
