Mrs. Ida May Fuhrmann, 81, died at 6 o'clock Sunday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Cloud, in Wellston, Oklahoma. She had been in ill health for the past two years and bedfast since October 19.

Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church in Hennessey Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the Rev. Paul E. Osman, the pastor, officiating. Interment was made in the Hennessey Cemetery beside her deceased husband.

Ida Mae Van Treese, daughter of S. S. A. and Catherine Spencer Van Treese, was born at Brockville, Jasper County, Illinois, October 1, 1870, and departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Cloud, in Wellston, Oklahoma, November 25, 1951, at the age of 81 years, one month and 25 days.

At the age of 12 she moved to Kansas with her parents, who homesteaded in Edwards County, near the present town of Kinsley. There she grew to womanhood and married L. H. Fuhrmann December 29, 1889.

In the spring of 1890 she pioneered to Oklahoma with her husband, where they established their home on a claim 6 miles southeast of Hennessey. It was there their children were born and reared: Mrs. Ermel Hamil, of Alhambra, California; Mrs. H. L. Cloud, of Wellston, Oklahoma; Mrs. J. V. Richards, of Hennessey, and John H. Fuhrmann, of Caldwell, Kansas.
 
Ill health and aging years made it necessary they retire from the farm. In the fall of 1942 they moved to Hennessey, and it remained their home until the death of her husband in the summer of 1949, after which she lived for a while in a convalescent home in Enid, and later in the homes of her children.

She was converted at an early age and became a member of the Methodist Church when it was first organized at Oak View. Later her membership was placed in the Hennessy Methodist Church, where it remained until at the present time.

She was a true follower of Christ, always placing spiritual things and Christian loyalty first at all times. Her love and devotion to her family as well as her love and concern for the welfare of friends and neighbors was clearly demonstrated throughout her daily living. Her many deeds of kindness and her willingness to share time and substance with those in need will long be remembered by many. She was the last in passing of a family of 13 children.

She leaves to mourn her memory, besides her children, 11 grandchildren and 15 great – grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors.
