Presumed Adams County Times

Mable Irene Bloss Zimbeck, daughter of George and Mary Larkins 
Bloss, was born December 19, 1876, in the town of New Chester, Adams 
county, Wisconsin, and passed away May 4, 1943, at the home of her 
son, Kenneth, near Oxford, at the age of 66 years, four months and 
15 days. She grew to womanhood in her old home where she was born.

She was united in marriage to Herman Zimbeck on March 4, 1896. In 
1934, 38 years later Mr. Zimbeck passed away and she was left with 
her three sons. Mrs. Zimbeck was a good mother, neighbor and friend, 
and always was ready to do all that she could to help others. She 
united with the New Chester church many years ago.

Mrs. Zimbeck remained on the home farm with her sons. Later, Kenneth 
moved to near Oxford, and Frank was called into the army, and the 
other son, Ronald, remained with his mother. Mrs. Zimbeck's health 
began to fail and last year she went to her son, Kenneth's home. 
Later she was with her half-sister, Mrs. Fenner, then returned to 
Kenneth's home and remained there until she passed away last Tuesday.

She leaves to mourn her loss her three sons, Kenneth of Oxford, 
Ronald, on the old home place, and Frank with the armed forces. 
Besides these three sons she leaves one grandson and a half-brother, 
Carl Bloss of New Chester, a half-sister, Mrs. Vera Fenner of Adams, 
one step-sister, Mrs. Libbie Beals of Brooks, and three 
step-brothers, Wallace, Ulysses and Andrew McClyman of New Chester.  
Her brother, Frank Bloss, preceeded her in death in June 1942. 
Besides these near relatives she leaves many other relatives and 
many friends who will sadly miss her.

Funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon, May 6, with a 
short service at the home and regular services at the New Chester 
Congregational church. Services wee conducted by the Rev. J.T. 
O'Neill. Three hymns were sung by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Atkins and

Janesville, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Larkins of Wisconsin Dells, Mrs.
