DEATH OF A NOBLE LADY.
Mrs. Hannah M. Plumb, Mother of Our Senator, Breathes Her Last in the Bosom of Her Family in this City at 6 o'clock Yesterday Evening.
Mrs. Hannah M. Plumb, wife of David Plumb, died at her home three miles northeast of this city, yesterday evening at 6 o'clock, of dysentery, after an illness of five days.
Mrs. Plumb was born in New England in 1813, and at some period previous to her marriage, moved with parents to Ohio, where she met and subsequently married David Plumb. Her eight children--six sons and two daughters--were born there before the family moved to Kansas in 1857, at which time they settled in Lyon county, on what has since been known as Plumb creek, where, a short time after their arrival, two of the younger children died. Her other children, one by one, left home and became identified in other fields of labor. P. B. Plumb, her oldest son, living in this city, holds the position of United States senator for the state of Kansas and stands high in the respect of the people of Kansas and the nation. Ellen Plumb also resides in this city, and is the proprietor of the City Book store. William Henry, next of age to Ellen, in in Nevada, proprietor of a cattle ranch. Arthur is in the grocery business at Reading, in this state. George owns a sheep ranch in this county, and Mary, Mrs. Perry Edwards, resides in this city. All of her children, with the exception of William and Col. P. B. Plumb, were present at her death.
The NEWS reporter called upon and interview[ed] Miss Mary J. Watson, who has been intimately acquainted with Mrs. Plumb ever since 1858, who is cognizant of the principle facts connected with her life and who watched with her in the last hours of her sickness. From her he learned the facts as above stated. For the past few years Mrs. Plumb and her husband have lived together in the old homestead three miles northeast of the city, and for the last three or four years she has not been able to stir out much on account of an injury she received from which she has been crippled, and has only been able to get out by the aid of crutches. Her genial nature and superior intelligence has made for her a multitude of friends among young and old, and the last years of her life was made pleasant by the presence of those who loved to call and visit with her. She has always been known as a woman of great power of mind, above the average, in fact. Added to her mental powers was a nature of singular sweetness that made her dear to the hearts of her children and many friends.
She has from childhood been a member of the Episcopal church in good standing, and an earnest although quiet worker in the Christian cause. Her health has been fairly good up till a week ago, when she was suddenly taken sick with dysentery. From the very first she sank rapidly until her death at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. During her last hours she received the tenderest care and most loving attention that relatives and friends could possible (sic) give until about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon remained conscious, but at that hour fell into a stupor which lasted and until the end (sic) when death came and bore away the soul of the loving wife and mother to that land where there is no shadow of parting. Her death was a great loss to her husband and children who were much devoted to her and who have the unbounded sympathy of the entire community.
Senator Plumb and his wife, who are in New York, were telegraphed last night and arrangements for the funeral will be postponed until they can be heard from.
