Charles Sumovich Dies in Rochester -
Word reached here yesterday that Charles Sumovich had passed away at the Mayo hospital, following two operations that he underwent on last Thursday. Ulcers of the stomach was the ailment for which he underwent the operation.
There may have been just as good men in this country as Charles Sumovich, but in our humble opinion there were none better. A real man, honest and honorable and it brought sadness into our heart when word reached us last night that our old friend had passed to his reward in heaven.
In company with his sister, Mrs. Frank Kyzycki, and her son, Joseph, Mr. Sumovich went to Rochester to seek relief from a chronic stomach ailment that has caused him considerable trouble for many years. On Thursday he submitted to two operations and apparently was getting along all right. On Monday word reached Elba from his bedside, filled with hope and the glad tidings that he was getting along as well as could be expected. Yesterday afternoon came the sad message that he had passed away.
Charles Sumovich was about 57 years of age, all of his life being spent in Nebraska. He resided in Platte, Polk and Nance counties, we believe, and 23 years ago he came to Howard county, purchasing a fine farm on Cedar Creek, where he resided for a number of years, or until he had to give up the farm on account of poor health, stomach trouble bothering him even that long ago. With his family he moved to Elba.
On January 27, 1892, he was married in Duncan, this state, and shortly afterwards moved to Howard county. Nine children were born to this union. In 1906 scarlet fever hit the Sumovich home shortly after the family had moved to Elba, and on February 28, Rose, eight years old, passed to her reward as a result of that dread disease. On March 3rd, 4th and 6th, death took another of the Sumovich children, and then on March 12th Mrs. Sumovich, then a young woman of but 33 years, passed away from the same disease. A babe was born just four days before her death and the babe died also. It was a trying and horrible time for Charles Sumovich.
Since that time he has been both father and mother to the children, three girls and a boy left to his care, and he has done well, having reared them so well that they are an honor to him and to the community.
As we go to press no arrangements have been made for the funeral and the relatives do not know when the remains will reach the old home.

From the St. Paul Phonograph, August 26, 1925, page 7, transcribed by Linda Berney:
Charles Sumovich was born February 15th, 1869 at Pnieso, Poland. He came to America with his parents at the age of seven. They took up a claim near Duncan, where he grew to manhood. In 1892 he was married to Miss Caroline Triba, of that place. They began their married life on a farm near Genoa. After living there for eleven years they moved onto a farm north of Elba. Two years later they moved to own where he lived until his recent death.
To Mr. and Mrs Sumovich nine children were born. In 1906 during the scarlet fever time, mother and five children passed to their heavenly rest.
Charles Sumovich died at the age of 56 years, 5 months and 19 days at Rochester, Minn., where he had gone to take treatments as he had been ailing for some years with stomach trouble. He leaves an aged mother, three daughters and one son and two sisters besides a host of friends to mourn his death. The sympathy of all is extended the bereaved relatives.
