Married Jan 27 1892 Duncan, Platte, NE
------------------------------------------
From the UNL History of Elba, NE, circa 1906:
"Various epidemics took their toll in the community. Scarlet fever took four Sumovich (Szymowicz) children in one week, and their mother the next."
According to "Entering Howard County" by Marion Bahensky and Ron Sack, page 138
"Many deaths were reported from scarlet fever. Four Sumovich children died in one week at Elba, and that bereavement was followed the next week by the death of their mother. Due to the strict quarantine laws of the time, the father could not attend the funeral services."
----------------------------------------------
Died - At her home in this village on Monday, March 12, Mrs. Charles Sumovich after a few days illness from pleurisy and pneumonia. The deceased was united in wedlock with Charles Sumovich at Duncan, Neb on January 27, 1892, when they moved to Howard county, settling on a farm on Cedar creek, east of here. About a year ago they moved to town and expected to remain here. To this union nine children were given, the youngest being born only last Friday. Four children and a heart-stricken husband are left to mourn the loss of a loved one.
Four children have died during the past two weeks from scarlet fever, Mrs. Sumovich was a strong young woman in the prime of life, being about 33 years of age, and it was one of the saddest sights this writer was ever called upon to witness to see the heart-broken husband stand in his yard and watch the remains of his wife borne away to the cemetery, and be unable to follow same, he still being under quarantine for scarlet fever.
The Sumovich family have had more than their share of trouble during the past two weeks, five little children having been buried and now the wife and mother is called to her home in the great beyond. It is needless for us to say that the doubly bereaved husband and father has the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of this entire community in his hour of affliction.
