text of obituary:
David Ummel was born February 19, 1861 at Locle Switzerland and departed this life on January 11, 1926 having reached the age of 64 years, 10 months and 23 days. In 1872 at the age of eleven years, he, with his father, brothers and sisters, immigrated to America where they settled in Iowa. Later they moved to Gentry county, Missouri where he grew to young manhood.
In 1887 he came to Ransom, Kansas and two years later on Dec. 19, 1889, he was married to Adel Amstutz, who with three children, Gertrude, Rosa and David survive him. Five children preceeded [sic] him to the Heavenly home in infancy.
In early manhood he gave his heart to Christ and he ever followed the blessed Master. He united with the Mennonite Church and his chief delight was to attend the House of God. How much he will be missed in his Church, words cannot express, but God doeth all things well.
For many years he has been a sufferer but bore his sufferings patiently. In his last days of sickness he was fully resigned to God’s will and often spoke of God’s great love for him.
Besides his wife and three children he leaves two brothers, John of King City, Missouri, and Daniel, of Arnold, Kansas, two sisters, Mrs. Lydia Rutschman, of Elbing, Kansas, and Mrs. Mary Baumgartner, of Ransom; one half brother, B.S. Ummel, of this place, two half sisters, Mrs. Rosa Oppliger, of Ransom and Mrs. Anna Graeff, of Shields, Kansas and one step sister, Mrs. Emma Rufenacht, of Ransom besides a host of relatives and friends who deeply mourn his departure.
He was always a loving husband and father and God alone knows how much he will be missed in his home Church and community.
IN MEMORY
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said “Come”
And with farewells unspoken
He calmly entered “home.”
— Ransom Record.
