Sommer. Fannie (Springer) Sommer was born near Hopedale, Ill., Mar. 16, 1872; died at her home near Fisher, Ill., July 5, 1932; aged 60 y. 3 m. 19 d. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and united with the Hopedale Mennonite Church in her youth. On Jan. 7, 1900, she was united in marriage with Joseph C. Sommer of Saybrook, Ill. To this union 3 children were born. In January, 1929 the family moved from their home near Saybrook to their new home near Fisher, Ill., where they have since resided. She leaves her husband, 3 sons (Nelson, Raymond, and Chester); 3 grandchildren, 1 brother (David Springer); 5 sisters (Mrs. Lizzie Birky, Mrs. Lydia Zehr, Mrs. John Nafziger, Mrs. Chris Sears, and Mrs. John Eigsti), also many other relatives and friends. Two brothers preceded her in death. Her health began to fail about 7 months ago, and she was taken to the Mennonite Hospital at Bloomington, Ill., where she submitted to an operation last January, which only gave her temporary relief. She since has gradually grown weaker and passed peacefully away. She bore her suffering very patiently and was fully resigned to her Master's will. She was a loving wife and mother, a devoted Christian, and a faithful and consistent member of the Mennonite Church with Bros. J.A. Heiser and Harold Zehr in charge. Text, I Thes. 5: 9-11. Interment in the East Bend Cemetery.
