When about eleven years of age the deceased moved with her parents to Whitesville, Mo. There, in 1886, she was united in marriage to James J. Clemmons. To this union three children were born, they being: V. T. Clemmons, of Brighton, Colorado; Mrs. Vernia Gould, of near Cawker; and Mrs. Marie Carolus, of St. Joseph, Mo. The husband and father died on July 8, 1902.

On November 14th, 1906, Mrs. Clemmons was married to D. H. Bruner, and shortly after this the family moved to Beloit. To this union one son, Lawrence, was born. Aside from her children and five grand children, Mrs. Bruner leaves a mother, four sisters and four brothers to mourn her loss.
