Mary
D. Sweeney was born in Union County, Pennsylvania in 1821, and died in
Cadiz, Green County, Wisconsin, September 30, 1891. She was married
to Thomas Dumars in 1845, who passed to the unseen realm about
eight years ago. Deceased was converted at sixteen years of age and
united with the M.E. Church. Upon coming to Wisconsin in 1851 she
united with the Congregational Church in the city of Monroe; later she
went with her husband to Kansas, where she cast her lot with the
Presbyterian people, of which church she was a member at the time of
her death. We are informed by those who knew her best, that she was
always true to her profession, and lived a consistant life. While many
mourn her loss, to her it is an eternal gain. May she rest in peace.
