The Daily Northwestern (Oshkosh, WI) 28 Jan 1933:
Lyman O. Rumery, aged 66, passed away at his home, 93 Jefferson avenue, Friday afternoon, following ill health for more than two years, but which did not become acute until Wednesday. With him at the time of his death were Mrs. Rumery and his son, Milton Rumery of Chicago. "Lyme" Rumery, as he was familiarly known, was a member of one of a group of families which had active part in the building of Oshkosh in the days when it was known as the Sawdust City. His father, also Lyman O. Rumery, came here in 1854 and was engaged in the lumber business for many years, being a member of the firm of Kellogg, Rumery & McKoy and later of the firm of Loper & Rumery. Still later he was president of the Wolf River Boom company for many years.
The family home was at 53 Merritt street, corner of Mt. Vernon street. At each of the four corners was a home of one of the pioneer lumbermen of Oshkosh, and each a mansion of its day, built to withstand the ravages of time. One was burned but three are still fine residences. In those days rugged homes were built for rugged men and life was a severe battle for existence into which L. O. Rumery was plunged in his earlier days. Following his school days he was associated with his father in lumbering in the northern part of the state for some years. He later operated a grocery store in partnership with his brother-in-law but for many years in his later life was a representative for the Fox river valley of the Miller-Bryant-Pierce Company of Aurora, IL. For a number of years Mr. Rumery had experienced failing sight and had become almost blind, yet he took pride in the fact that he was able to get about without the use of a cane and without a human guide. At times he had some narrow escapes from serious injury but he persevered in his determination to get about entirely alone.
Mr. Rumery was married Jan 5, 1911, to Miss Maude C. Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mason Campbell, who with the son, Milton Rumery, survives him. There are also one brother and five sisters. The brother is J. Porter Rumery, Chicago and the sisters are Miss Carrie Rumery, Oshkosh; Mrs. Charles A. Wakeman, Oshkosh; Mrs. Francis C. Underwood, Milwaukee; Mrs. L. H. Gunnell, Arlington, NJ and Mrs. H. Howard Clement, Milwaukee. All of the immediate relatives from away, including Mrs. Milton Rumery of Chicago, are expected here for the funeral. Mr. Rumery was a member of the First Presbyterian church and of the local lodge of Elks. The funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Spikes & McDonald funeral home and will be in charge of Rev. James A. Daum. The Elks will assist in services at the funeral home. Burial will be in the Rumery family lot at Riverside cemetery.
NOTE: Son Milton F. Rumery, born 4 Oct 1890 believe died Aug 1963. His mother was Laura Ellen Williams, the first wife. Milton married Margaret ____ and had son Peter. All three were in a 1945 Florida State Census.
