We clip the following from the Atwood (Kansas) Journal. Mrs. Dumond was well and favorably known here, having resided in this vicinity for many years:Died, in Atwood township, on October 30, 1889, Mrs. Abigail Dumond, aged 66 years, 5 months and 11 days.
She leaves to mourn her sudden departure, six children; four sons and two daughters -- Robert, Alex, Myron and Emma, residing in Rawlins county; Daniel Dumond and Sophrona Davison residing in Dakota. Mrs. Dumond was born in Sandusky, Ohio, on May 19, 1823, where she united with the Baptist church at the age of 14 years, and had lived a Christian life since. In her three years residence in this county she made many warm friends.
Mrs. Dumond had enjoyed comparatively good health prior to the sudden illness to which she succumbed and passed from this world of suffering to a better life beyond the tomb. In her last hours all was peace with her and a feeling of great relief took the place of suffering as she passed away. The funeral occurred on Friday, when a large number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Rev. A.T. Hall conducted the funeral . . . [The article was cut off here.]
