Her obituary was listed in the two Kittitas papers. "The Ellensburg Capital" stated "Mrs. Damman was well known in Ellensburg where she spent nearly half a century of her life. She had a host of friends who knew and loved her and her death will be a sad blow to her many acquaintances and friends. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred Wolff, on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Damman had been in good health up to a severe attack of pneumonia which was responsible for her death. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Paul Lux of the Presbyterian Church." Another obituary was titled, "Grandma" Damman Dies This Morning - Resident of Ellensburg since 1871 - Pioneer of Valley Victim of Pneumonia After Short Illness. Part of this obituary includes: "Grandma" Damman, as she was known to hundreds of Ellensburg pople, was in remarkably robust health considering her advanced years until stricken with pneumonia, following the long and severe illness of her son-in-law, Fred P. Wolff, who is seriously ill at the Ellensburg hospital. She emmigrated to the west from Iowa in a "Prairie Schooner," and arrived in the Kittitas Valley in the fall of 1871 where she has lived ever since. The funeral will be held from the Wolff home on East Eighty street, Rev. Paul Lux of the Presbyterian church being in charge of the service. The hour of the funeral has not yet been fixed." The Memoriam for her son-in-law, Fred Wolff, who died just two days after her, stated: Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Damman, mother of Mrs. Wolff, passed away following a very short illness of pneumonia. She was eighty-two years of age, and a pioneer of this valley, having come across the mountains as a very little girl and spent the rest of her life here. Her funeral took place Thursday morning from the residence of Mr. Wolff, where she has made her home for many years. "Grandma" Damman was beloved by all who knew her.
Her stone is misspelled Dammon. Her stone says birth is 26 Aug, 1838. She was the wife of JD Dammon/Damman.
