Cortes S. Shuman
Cortes S. Shuman was the son of Albert James Shuman and Sarah Ann "Anna B." Wheeler Shuman. He was a brother to Ernest Wheeler Shuman and adopted sister Rosa Shuman. He married Mayme F. Mulford (aka Mamie Vandolah) 3-15-1902 in Hamilton Co., Ohio; their son was Lovell S. Shuman.
"Cortes S. Shuman, son of Albert J. and Anna Shuman, was born in Chesterville, Dearborn county, Ind., April 6th, 1882. While yet a small boy he moved with his parents to Ripley county, where he has spent the greater part of his brief, but active life. He was married to Mayme Mulford, March 15th, 1902. To them was born one child, Lovel now thirteen years old. Three years ago he united with the M.E. church at Green Chapel under the ministry of Rev. T. J. Hart. He early offered his service to the church, took upon himself his Christian obligations and was filling the office of church trustee at the time of his death. The church will feel keenly the loss of this brother. He was a member of the order of Knights of Pythias at Elrod, and was, in the estimation of his brothers, deemed a real knight and was held in the highest regard by them all. He loved his order and contributed much toward its success. Up until some months ago Mr. Shuman had enjoyed the best of health and in all appearance embraced every element of physical strength. Last December it was discovered that he was a victim of sarcoma. The most skilled physicians were employed, every known remedy of medical science was administered and the tenderest and most loving nursing was given him, but to no avail and on May 19th, 1916 he submitted to the Angel of death, aged 34 years, 1 month and 13 days. What he suffered he and God only knows. Forty days and nights he was in the Good Samaritan and Jewish hospitals, six weeks under the care of a specialist and several weeks in the hands of his home physician. Yet he bore his suffering patiently, and with a surprising amount of cheerfulness. He leaves to mourn his untimely departure, his wife, one son, father and mother, one brother, a number of other relatives and a host of friends. He will long be remembered as an industrious and progressive farmer, an obliging neighbor, a loving husband and father and as a young man of the highest type of moral principles and clean in all his habits of life. It is very hard for us to understand the justice of all things, but we have no disposition to question the wisdom of God and believe Him when He says, 'all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.' And our brother had the feeling like Paul, that his affliction worketh for him. 'A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.' He left his testimony with Pastor and loved ones that in his affliction he had prayed much, that he had the confidence that his Savior had spoken peace to his soul and was ready to receive him when the time came. 'Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around To hurry mortals home.'"
"Card of Thanks We wish to thank our neighbors and friends for the kindness shown us in our sad bereavement in the loss of our beloved son and husband Cortes Shuman. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Shuman, Mrs. Mayme Shuman".
