OBIT FOR BOTH BROTHER & SISTER:
SHEWMAKER
Last week the hand of death fell heavily upon the family of Mr. and Mrs. George Shewmaker, near Cornishville. Their son, Mr. Wagoner Shewmaker, aged 18, died of typhoid fever, and the next day his sister, Miss Cora Shewmaker, aged 29, became a victim of the same disease. They were both buried at Grapevine, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. O J. Young. Both the young people stood high in the community in which they lived, and deep sympathy is felt for the family so sadly bereaved.

SHEWMAKER
On the morning of September 13, death visited the home of Mrs. George Shewmaker and took from it the oldest daughter, Cora. She was born February 7, 1877. She was loved by all who knew her, for she was a very lovable character, being kind and devoted in her home and an earnest, faithful Christian. She united with the church when young and had so lived that when the time came to leave this world of sorrow she had nothing to fear. In the evening of the same day the angel of death came to this home again and took the son, Waggener. Typhoid had laid its hold on him first, but he lived several hours after his sister's death. He lacked but a few days of being nineteen years of age-was one of the brightest boys in the community. Possessed as he was of a kind, cheerful disposition, he made friends wherever he went. The home, the church, the entire community, has sustained a great loss. We are so sad without them, but we have the hope of meeting again where there will be no parting.
