Ionia Daily Standard, 11 Jul 1901

Rosina Bluemly (nee Currier) Was born in Leiberstung, Baden, Germany, January 
31st, 1838.  At the age of 20, she came to America, and in November, 1858, was 
married to Frederick Bluemly, at Evansville, Indiana.  In 1865 they came to 
Easton township, and settled on a farm one mile north of Stanton Junction, 
where the rest of their life was spent.  Death entered the home on the 25th of 
January, 1888, and claimed the husband and father.  Mrs. Bluemly survived her 
husband a little over 12 years, and then death claimed her, on July 5th, 1901, 
at the age of 63 years, 5 mos. and 4 days, valvular and dropsy of the heart 
being the cause of death.

To this union were born eleven children seven daughters and four sons, all of 
whom survive their mother.  Sixteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild also 
mourn her death, which is their eternal gain.

The funeral services were held at the Dildine M. E. church, at 2 p.m. on 
Sunday, July 7, Rev. W. H. B. Urch of Ionia officiating, and Rev. Buell of 
Orleans, assisting.

Mrs. Bluemly united with the church in 1878, and lived a consistent 
consecrated, Christian life unto death.  Her consistent life was the means of 
drawing her children into the church.  She always lived to live and do for 
others that they might be happy.  She has gone to receive her reward.

Mother, thou art gone, To the land of rest; Where there is no sorrow, Sickness, 
fear nor death.  We shall miss thee greatly, In this world of toil.  But we 
hope to meet you In the realms above.

The eleven children who survive her are: Caroline (Mrs. Joseph Meier) Fenwick; 
Mary (Mrs. Daniel Olmstead) Ludington; Minnie (Mrs. J. A. Swenk) Ft. Wayne, 
Ind; Sophia (Mrs. Arthur Callow) Ionia; Emma (Mrs. J. C. Deitrich) Gresham, 
Mich; Eugene F. Bluemly, St. Louis, Mo., Frederick Bluemly, Easton; Herman 
Bluemly, Easton; Elzora Bluemly, Easton; Paulina (Mrs. Peter Christensen) 
Easton; Alvin Bluemly, Grand Ledge, Mich.

Two were absent from the funeral, Mrs. Olmstead, who is sick at the hospital at 
Ann Arbor, Mich., and Eugene F., who lives in St. Louis, Mo.
