Had Francis Bailey [sic] Dumenil of San Jose, Cal., lived until May of
1912, she would have been a centenarian. Word was received in this city
yesterday of the death in the western city of that elderly lady, who is
the mother of J.N. and John Dumenil of this city. Mrs. Dumenil was in
her ninety-eight [sic] year, having been born in French county, France,
on May 12, 1812, which saw the commencement of the second war between
Great Britain and the United States in the merchantmen struggle. She was
the wife of the late Jean B. Dumenil, one of Lee County’s pioneer
residents. Of late years, however, Mrs. Dumenil had made her home in San
Jose, where she passed away the fore part of this week [newspaper does
not give the exact date, which was 17 March 1910]. She was laid to rest
at that place after a wonderfully long and useful life. Those who
survive her are: J.N. and John Dumenil of this city, L.V. and F.M. [sic
- should be M.F.] of Argyle, Mrs. Frances Wolfenbarger and Miss
Christine Dumenil of San Jose, Cal., Mrs. Marcia Conrad of Des Moines,
Mrs. Julia Slingerland of Egbert, Wyo., all children of the
deceased.
