Obituary –Died at Mercy Hospital, Des Moines, February 17th, E. [nos] M. [iller] Sheumaker, age 62 years, 3 months and 14 days.
The deceased was in town two weeks previous to his death, seemingly in good health and cheerful spirits, but on going home was taken sick with acute bladder and kidney trouble and growing steadily worse it was thought best to take him to Des Moines where he could be treated by an eminent specialist. Tuesday evening, the 7th, he was taken to Des Moines, and on examination it was thought best to have an operation which was had and from the effects of which he rallied well and for a time he seemed to improve, but a change for the worse came and at 9:30 Friday morning his spirit took its flight to that unknown, mysterious realm—eternity.
Mr. Sheumaker was born near Lancaster, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. Answering his country's call, he enlisted in Company B, 17th Ohio Volunteer Infantry [words unreadable] having served his country, long, faithfully and well.
He was married to Miss Elizabeth Berry Sept. 17, 1865, and came west over twenty years ago, settling in Ringgold County and for the last thirteen years has had charge of George S. Allyn's farm a few miles southeast, leaving his home farm of 160 acres in the vicinity of Mt. Ayr to the management of his son.
Besides his wife, nine children, seven sons and two daughters: Ross, Mrs. Hattie Boyles, Mrs. A. Nye, Arthur, Emery, Elmer, Harry, Roy and Charles, survive him. All were present at the funeral, which took place at the home at 11 o'clock Monday, the remains having been brought from Des Moines Friday evening.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Woolever, pastor of the Methodist church at Redding, and to which denomination the deceased belonged. The interment took place in the cemetery at Redding, A large number were present at the funeral and followed the remains to the place of interment.
Mr. Sheumaker was a man of true moral worth, upright and honest in his dealings and had many traits of character worthy of example. He attended strictly to his own affairs and enjoyed the good will and esteem of the whole community. In the home circle he was loving and kind and from the beloved wife death has removed a faithful husband and from the children an affectionate father whose memory will be cherished until time, to them shall be no more.
The family have the deepest sympathy of all in their great bereavement.
