Mary Aderman Dies in Childbirth

Mary Aderman Krumreich

Mary Aderman Krumreich, the daughter of Ferdinand and Mary (Heiden) Aderman, died in childbirth on this day in 1921, at the age of 28. She was born on May 17, 1892.

Mary married Paul Krumreich (who later changed his last name to Kennedy) on 20 Apr 1916. Soon after that they moved to Detroit, Michigan. They were living there the next year when their son, Kenneth, was born on 28 Aug 1917.

Mary died in Detroit after giving birth to their daughter, Vera Marie the day before. Following is her obituary in The Altamont News. (Note: the date of Vera Marie’s birth varies listed in the obituary is different from what my research has found.)
