OBITUARY that appeared Thursday, December 24, 1914, Rice Lake Chronotype, Rice Lake, Wisconsin:
Mrs. Edgar Tremper
Passes Away
Alice Anna Mackey was born July 31, 1845, at Liberty, Tioga Co., Penn., and passed away on Monday, Dec. 14, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James B. Kelty, in this city.
In 1865 Miss Mackey came to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where on December 16th, 1867, she was married to Edgar Tremper. In 1885 Mr. and Mrs. Tremper moved to Rice Lake where Mrs. Tremper has since lived up to the time of her death, except for a brief residence in California.
The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the residence of Mr. E. Bassett and the remains interred in Nora cemetery, Rev. Sindell of Eau Claire conducting the Christian Science services. The services were simple but impressive and the singing of Rev. and Mrs. Sindell added much to the impressiveness and solemnity of the occasion. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful.
The funeral services were attended by all the children with the exception of Mrs. Albert Arnott who lives in Canada and who had visited her mother shortly before the latter passed away. The following children were present: Mrs. James B. Kelty, Rice Lake; Mrs. Cyrus Lucas, of Minneapolis; Mrs. Frank Deery, of Duluth; and Mr. James Tremper of Minneapolis.
Like her husband Mrs. Tremper contributed her share toward the ending of the Civil war. She was living at Liberty, Penn., when the call for volunteers came. Her two brothers enlisted in the company which was formed from Liberty boys, but when the time came to leave for the front a snare drummer was lacking. Miss Mackey volunteered to fill the vacancy and she went with the company in the capacity of drummer over the mountains to Williamsport, Penn. Miss Mackey's action in thus helping to start the soldier boys for the front was emblematic of her energetic and useful life which ended only with her death.
