Bio
Web site: http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neplatte/vitals/vitals1936.html The Columbus Daily Telegram, September 4, 1936 KUMMER--DEATH COMES TO ALBERT KUMMER - Native of Platte County, Pioneer Farmer Passes Away at Age of 70 Albert Kummer, 70, well known retired farmer born of pioneer parents in Platte county only 10 years after the founding of Columbus passed away at 3 a.m. today at Lutheran Good Samaritan hospital. His death was due to diabetes from which he had suffered more than seven years. He was removed from his home at 2820 Sixteenth street to the hospital 10 days ago when his condition became more serious, but because of his advanced age he could not respond to treatment and his strength gradually ebbed away. Mr. Kummer, with Mrs. Kummer and their one daughter, Mrs. C. Milton Pittman, moved to Columbus 20 years ago, when he retired from a life of 50 years spent in the rural sections near Columbus. Since that time he had not been active in any way other than looking after his land holdings and business interests. He was born on Apr. 24, 1866, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Kummer, who resided on a farm in Platte county seven miles west of Columbus. His parents owned and operated a cheese factory there in the early days. When he was about four years old, they disposed of their land holdings there and bought farm land on what is known as the Island, in Polk county southwest of Columbus. After he grew to manhood, he procured his own farm land in that vicinity and engaged in farming for himself. Only [sic] July 14, 1908, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie M. Hahn, at Osceola, and they remained on the farm for eight years after their wedding. He was a member of the Masonic lodge of Columbus for several years. Besides his wife and daughter, he is survived by one brother, Otto Kummer of Columbus. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Federated chcurch, with Rev. R.H. Turner, pastor, officiating. Burial will be at Columbus cemetery. The body is at the Gass Funeral home.
