Mrs. Schumacher had been ill since last sprint and was taken to Chicago on November 30 for an operation which could not be performed on account of her weak condition. She was suffering from cancer of the liver. Two months ago her son, Gustav Blum, who is in the United States Navy and is stationed on the battleship, Granite State, at the foot of the 96th Street, New York City, came here to see his mother and with his sister Johanna Pahlke who lives east of town, decided to send the mother to the city for treatment. He then returned east. He arrived in Barrington again Sunday for the funeral.
Mathilda Muller Schumacher was born in Salzuften, Lippe-Detmond, Germany, on August 18, 1848. When a young woman she was married to a Mr. Andreas Blum and they were parents of five children of whom three died when young. Mr. Blum died, and as a widow of 40 years, Mrs. Schumacher came to this country in October 1888. She has sinced lived in Barrington. For two years she was the wife of Henry Schumacher.
Besides the son and daughter mentioned the other relatives are six grandchildren, two in New York and the four Pahlke children.
The Grauenverein of St. Paul's Church, of which Mrs. Schumacher was the treasurer, attended the body.
NOTE: At this time I believe that Johanna Pahlke was her step daughter. The research continues...
