Name TypeDateDescription
Name VariationMary Elizina Sumner was also known as Skinner.
Married Namecirca 1879As of circa 1879,her married name was Roush.
Life EventDateDescription
Birth23 August 1862Mary Elizina Sumner was born on 23 August 1862 at Indiana.
Marriagecirca 1879She married Manis Roush circa 1879.
Death22 June 1937Mary Elizina Sumner died on 22 June 1937 at age 74 Mary Elizina Sumner was born near Atlantic, Ind., on August 23, 1862 and passed away at Sandpoint, Idaho on June 22, 1937, at the age of 74 years, nine months and 28 days. She was one of four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Skinner. When yet a baby her parents moved from Indiana to the state of Iowa, where she grew to young womanhood and at the age of 17 she was united in marriage to Manis Roush on December 16, 1879.
To this union were born eleven children, two of them dying at an early age, leaving nine children, nineteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren to mourn the passing of a noble mother and grandmother. One sister also survives Mrs. Roush. The living children are five daughters and four sons; the daughters are: Mrs. Kittie Long of Sandpoint, Idaho; Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzgerald of Draper; Mrs. Sioux Long of Sandpoint, Idaho; Mrs. Wilbur Sherwood, of Canning, S.D. and Mrs. Bessie Mollet of Draper. The four sons are James of Butte, Nebr; Joseph, John and Hugh, all of Draper. The surviving sister is Mrs. Dora Workman of Rockwell City, Ia. The husband, the well-known M. Roush, preceded his wife in death on Sept. 21, 1929, and is also resting in the Draper cemetery where Mrs. Roush’ s remains were interred following funeral services at Draper last Saturday afternoon at 2:30 from the Methodist church, Rev. Burl N. Long officiating.
Special music was rendered for Mrs. Roush’s funeral by a quartette consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rollins, Mrs. Beckhart and Donald Esmay with Earl Beckhart at the piano. Pallbearers were Jos. Beach, Homer Tobiassen, Carl Nyquist, N. M. Spears, Ralph Rollins and Thos, Wheeler.
Mr. and Mrs. Roush and their family of four small children were among the early pioneer people to leave Iowa for points west, making the trip overland in a covered wagon in the late summer of 1887. They reached Osceola, Nebr., in October and built a home in that region and remained there until in 1904, when the family pushed on into newer lands and homesteaded a tract of land north of where Draper was later established, which was the family home throughout the future years. Through all these years Mrs. Roush was always cheerful and satisfied through the usual ups and downs of pioneering a new country. With undaunted courage she met her problems as they came. She was loved by her family and neighbors, was the ideal of her children and an inspiration and helpmate to her husband.
As she reached older age her health made it necessary for her to seek a cooler climate, so in June of last year she was taken to Sandpoint, to live with her daughter, Mrs. Long. She enjoyed her new surroundings in the company with the two daughters who live there, until she was stricken with apoplexy on Feb. 19 of this year resulting in her death Tuesday of last week, June 22.

At the age of 19 years, she came to America. Two years later, May 24, 1858, she was married to Henry Grages at Eagle Lake. Ten children were born to this union, seven of whom having passed away. The family lived east of Beecher, near St. John's church, until about 21 years ago, when they moved to Beecher. Here, on May 24, 1908, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Barely six ears later, Jan. 1, 1916, Mr. Grages passed away. Since that time the departed, together with her son, Herman, enjoyed the reclining years of her life under the kind solicitude and care of her son, Herman. About two weeks ago, Mother Grages contracted a severe cold which, in spite of the best medical care and loving tender nursing of her children and kind neighbors, brought about her death on Sunday afternoon, at 5:15 o'clock, at the ripe age of 85 years, 7 months and 7 days. Those surviving are the children, Caroline (Mrs. Wm. Matthies), Herman and Ed; one brother, Henry Schrage of Crete; one sister, Dorothea Oberheide of Chicago, 17 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and a large host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home and continued at St. Luke's church, where Rev. Horst, in both the German and English tongue, spoke most fittingly of the character of the departed before one of the largest audiences ever assembled in St. Luke's. Burial was at St. John's cemetery. With the departed one of the good old mothers who in Christian faith and love gave her best to a Christian conviction and family, neighbor and friends, passed away.
