She was married March 15, 1855 to Hazeal Newcomb who preceded her in death in 1892 since which time she has resided with her daughter Mrs. Alice Means in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Newcomb came to the city shortly after their marriage and for years the family home has been at 412 Park street. One daughter, Mrs. Means, of this city survives her mother being the last of a family of six children. Five grandchildren also survive being Mrs. Charles Reddin, Mrs. Edward Kehr,of Milwaukee, Clara and George Newcomb at Chicago and Robert Means of this city. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from the home on Park street and the Rev. D.C. Jones of Neenah will officiate. Friends are kindly requested to omit flowers as this was one of the last wishes of Mrs. Newcomb.
