Scrimshire, of Potterville, died on Christmas day after an illness of three weeks from typhoid fever. He was a member of the Methodist church, and leaves to mourn his departure besides a large circle of friends and relatives, a wife and two children. Additional Comments: Note - Frank Schrimshire was the son of Robert W. and Mary Rogers Schrimshire. I've located his last name spelled a variety of ways, Scrimshire, Schrimpshire and Schrimshire. Frank married Pearl Theus, daughter of J.J. Theus, on June 10, 1906 in Taylor County. The death notice states they had two children. I only have a record of one son, Roy Schrimshire. Frank is buried at the Mt. Olive Cemetery in Potterville. This cemetery is listed on the Taylor page and his gravestone information is included below. Frank was my great-grandmother's (Gussie Schrimshire Adams) brother, and I would like to correspond with anyone researching this family. I've posted a picture of Pearl and Roy Schrimshire on the Taylor County page. Schrimpshire, B.
