Continuing with the Children of Levi L. and Martha Jane (Corbin) Plummer: Maude and an Un-named Child

The 1916 obituary for Martha Jane (Corbin) Plummer, states that she is the mother of eight children, two who have already preceded her in death.   One of those, Maude, is known, while the other was likely a still born baby or a child born prematurely.

The only record for Maude Plummer, is the 1885 Nebraska State Census, which records her as the daughter of Levi and Martha Jane (Corbin) Plummer and lists her birth state as Nebraska and her age as four.   That would indicate that Maude Plummer was born in 1881.

Levi L. and Martha Jane (Corbin) Plummer are both buried in the Blue Valley (LeRoy) Cemetery at Ayr, Adams County, Nebraska but a search of the records there does not indicate that Maude Corbin was buried there prior to or after her parents.   There are others members of the family buried in that cemetery, but no record for their little daughter Maude has been found.

In addition, a search of Adams County, Nebraska cemeteries has not provided any additional records for Plummer Children.

I have not been able to find any information about either of these two children in visiting with surviving members of the Levi and Martha Jane (Corbin) Plummer families.
