Mrs. Chris SUMM, one of the early residents of Red Cliff passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. E. WALKER, at Rouse, Colo., December 8, 1928,after an illness of more than one year.
Anna Lesa SUMM was born in Wasa, Finland,February 5,1864, being 64 years,10 months and 3 days of age when death claimed her.
She came to Leadville from Finland in October,1892, and in the following year went to Red Cliff where, on May 23, 1893, she was married to Johann Christian SUMM, then a business man of Red Cliff. Her husband preceded her in death several years ago. She is survived by one son, Carl Frederick SUMM of Red Cliff, two daughters, Mrs. L. E. WALKER of Rouse, Colo., and Mrs. S. L. JAYRED of Cleveland, Ohio; four grandchildren, Mary Lou and John William WALKER, and Janis Lee and William Carlton JAYRED.
About a year ago Mrs. SUMM sustained injuries to her hip from a fall on a sidewalk, from which she never fully recovered, and had been bedfast much of the time since her injury. She left her home in Red Cliff some two months ago and went to her daughter in Rouse, where she died.
The remains were shipped to Red Cliff for burial beside the body of her husband. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Mortician O. W. MEYER and services were held in the Presbyterian church December 11, Reverend Mr. ANDERSON, Lutheran minister of Leadville preaching the sermon.
All of the deceased lady's children were present at the funeral, which was attended by many of her old time acquaintances, who regretted the passing of a good woman.
