Louvisa Ann Bass, daughter of Lydia and William Bass, was born in Taswell County, Illinois, May 30, 1864 and departed this life Friday, November 12, 1937, at her home in Tingley, Iowa, aged 73 years, 5 months and 12 days. She was one of a family of six children, all of whom preceded her in death save a sister, Mrs. Martha Braney, of Hopedale, Illinois. Deceased was united in marriage to Jefferson H. Summers, February 3, 1882. To this union eleven children were born, three of whom died in infancy, and one, a son, passed away at the age of 19 years. Those surviving are Claude of Humboldt, Iowa; Jefferson and Earl of Grants Pass, Oregon; Mrs. May Reece of Kansas City, Missouri; Mrs. Blanche Bowers, Mrs. Ellen Bischoff and Mrs. Louvisa Blunck, all of Tingley. There are also twenty-four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Summers engaged in farming and in April, 1891, came to Ringgold County, Iowa, and settled on a farm near Tingley, where they resided either on the farm or in Tingley. When Mrs. Summers was quite young she became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. When coming to Iowa she united with the Church of Christ at Ellston and later placed her membership with the Church of Christ at Tingley. Her family, her neighbors, and her brethren of the church unite in proclaiming her life as one of consistant, faithful Christian purpose. Deceased had been in usual health except from infrequent attacks of heart trouble until Saturday, November 6, when she was compelled to take to her bed. She gradually failed until release came on Friday afternoon. Aside from a sister in Illinois and a large family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, there are a host of friends and neighbors who unite with those who mourn the loss of this faithful loved one.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest Weary with years and worn with pain. Farewell, till in some happy place We shall behold thy face again ‘Tis ours to miss thee all our years, And tender memories of thee keep. Thine in the Lord to rest, for so, He giveth His beloveth sleep.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Christian Church conducted by her pastor, Reverend Burr and interment made in the Tingley Cemetery.
Card Of Thanks We wish to thank all the friends who were so kind to us in our great sorrow in the passing of our dear mother and grandmother; also for the lovely floral tributes. The Children and Families
