Decatur Democrat, Adams County, Indiana

Further particulars concerning the death of Mrs. Emeline Shamerloh [sic], wife of Christopher Shamerloh, one of the best known farmers of Union township, were learned Friday morning in an interview with the undertaker. It seems that on yesterday morning Mrs. Shamerloh got up apparently feeling as well as ever. She assisted in getting the breakfast and doing up the dishes, after which she and the hired girl started to do the week's ironing. About ten o'clock Mrs. Shamerloh complained of terrific pains in her stomach, and when asked by the hired girl whether or not she had taken her pills, she replied in the negative. She then sat down in a chair while the hired girl got turpentine and lard and greased her. This task had been no more than finished, when with a sigh she fell back in the chair apparently lifeless and with a fixed stare on her face which frightened the hired girl, who summoned the men working near by, and Dr. S. D. Beavers was summoned, but his trip was useless and before his arrival, Mrs. Schamerloh had expired, and was beyond all earthly assistance. She was fifty-nine years of age and was one of the best known women of her community, being devoted Christian and a member of the Blakey church where the funeral will be conducted Sunday morning at ten o'clock and interment will be made in the Blakey cemetery. She leaves a husband, two daughters, two step-daughters and two step-sons to mourn their loss. Mrs. Shamerloh was a daughter of Uncle Jacob Berger who still resides in Root township.
