From the "Laramie Republican-Boomerang", May 23, 1937:
"Paul J. Scharmann, well known railroad man here, died early this morning in a Denver hospital, victim of a stomach ailment from which he had suffered for several years. He was 42 years old.
Funeral services will be held in the First Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. Claire C. Hoyt officiating. Mr. Scharmann had made a gallant fight against the disease for several months before he decided to enter the Ivinson Memorial Hospital here for examination.
Paul Scharmann was born in North Platte, Neb. Nov. 16, 1894, and attended schools there. When he was 16 he hired out as a Union Pacific railroad call boy, a position he held for a few years before he became a clerk.
He came to Laramie in 1919, after having taken wartime military training at Fort Riley and Newport News, Va. The armistice was signed before he was summoned for overseas duty.
He settled in Laramie the year following the armistice, and again went to work for the railroad company. He remained in clerical service, and until his death was chief clerk in the local yard office.
He was a member of the American Legion post here, and the Masonic lodge and the First Methodist church. He also held membership in various Union Pacific organizations, including the organization of railway clerks.
Well known as a musician, Mr. Scharmann played for several years in the Laramie municipal band and was secretary-treasurer of the musicians' union.
Survivors include his wife, Margaret, two daughters, Lou Ann, 10, and Paula Jean, 4; a brother Conrad, of North Platte; two sisters, Anna Hagan of Chehalis, Wash. and Vera Wallace of Berkeley, Calif; and his parents, John Scharmann of Stockton, Calif., and Mrs. Mary Lowe of Denver.
Burial will be in the North Platte Cemetery."
