This community was saddened Tuesday morning when the word was given out that Mrs. J. A. Fleming had passed away the previous night at the Immanuel hospital in Omaha.
Amanda Holmberg was born in Grovendol, Sweden, January 10th, 1870 and died at Omaha, February 19th, 1934, at the age of 63 years, one month and nine days.
Her mother died when she was three years of age. She came with the family to America when 8 years old and lived at Boone, Ia., until 12 years of age. She then went to South Dakota where she made her home with the Rumelhart family until April 5, 1899, when she was married to J. A. Fleming at Plum Center, Boone county.
They lived on a farm in the Plum Center community until 1902, then moved to Albion where she lived until she passed away.
Four children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. Two daughters, Mrs. Eva Blatter, and Mrs. Lucille Sherrill, both of Albion, and her husband survive her. She leaves other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her passing.
From childhood she has been active in church work and interested in missions and temperance. She was practically raised in the Methodist church of which she was a member until her death. She was a member of the W. C. T. U. and served as president of the Foreign Missionary society for several years.
She has been in failing health for nearly two years and not able to do any active work except through the medium of her influence and prayers. She was a loving mother and a devoted wife, always most happy when ministering to the welfare of her family.
Funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Joseph Stopford, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.
