~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obit: Mrs. W. R. Fleming, 69, an almost continuous resident of the Traer community since birth, died Monday afternoon at her home northeast of Traer. Mrs. Fleming, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Almeda Camery, who preceded her in death by only a few days, was Lulu May Camery before her marriage and was the youngest of four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Camery. She was born at Old Buckingham village on Apr. 28, 1869. There were also five boys in the family, of whom four reached maturity. With the founding of Traer a few years later, the Camery family moved to the new town. Lulu May was one of ten members of the second Traer high school graduating class, in 1887. She then taught in the rural schools of Tama County and in the schools of Grundy Center and Sutherland, Iowa. Her marriage to William Robert Fleming took place in Traer on Dec. 28, 1897. Mrs. Fleming was the oldest living member of the Traer Methodist Church at the time of her death. Mr. and Mrs. Fleming farmed near Bancroft, Iowa for a few years after their marriage. Then they returned to the Traer community, their home ever since. The decedent is survived, besides her husband, by four sons: John and Paul Fleming, of Traer; Robert of Burlington, Iowa; and Logan, at home. A fifth son died in infancy. Five grandsons and two granddaughters also survive, as well as one brother, W. D. Camery of New Underwood, S.D. The funeral service was held Wednesday afternoon in Traer at the Methodist church. Casket bearers were Mrs. Fleming's four sons. Burial was in Buckingham cemetery, almost within a stone's throw of the site of the home in which the decedent was born.
