Notes for Mary Pockat:
MARIA DALUM
Mrs. Maria Dalum, nee Pockat, was born in the town of Grant, Shawano County, Wisconsin. In her youth she was a faithful scholar in the Sunday school. In her 16th year she was converted to God under the labors of the Evangelical preachers and joined the church of the Evangelical Association in the town of Grant of which she remained a faithful member until her death.
On December 1, 1870, she was joined in holy matrimony to her now bereaved husband, Wm. Dalum. This union was blessed with 13 children of whom 5 preceded her in death.
About 19 years ago she was taken sick with heart trouble from which she again recovered, but later had several attacks again, from which she also seemingly recovered until on Sunday morning, March 28th, 1920, she was found dead in her bed, seemingly she fell peacefully to sleep as their was no sign that she had any struggle. She reached the age of 58 years, 5 months, and 16 days.
Mrs. Dalum was an ambitious woman, always careful about the duty of the house and well being of the family. Neighbors found her always, if possible, ready and willing to help, especially in sickness, in spite of her many duties at home she found time to call on them. She will be missed by many, at home, neighbors and freinds. She was whenever possible, a regular attendance at the church and often exhorted her family to come along with her. She leaves to mourn her bereaved husband, 7 sons, Arnold, Edward, John, Willie, Fred, August and Henry; one daughter Minnie, Mrs. Afeldt who lived at Maple Creek, the others live in this community; two grandchildren, 1 sister, many relatives and a host of friends. Funeral services took place Wednesday afternoon at one o' clock at the house and at two o' clock at the Grant Evangelical church.
Being so well known, a large crowd paid her last tribute in following to her last resting place. May God comfort the bereaved with the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Rev. G. Kunz officiated.
