Cora Irene Shumway was born December 25, 1882, in Madison, Wisconsin,
and departed from this life December 14, 1931, at the age of 48 years,
11 months and 19 days.

At the age of 5 years, she was taken into the home of her uncle,
E.H. Miles, in Verona, Wisconsin.  In 1901 they moved to Iowa and
in 1906 she was united in marriage to Irvin C. Wheeler.  To this
union were born four children: Lois, Olive, Clyde, Warren; all of
whom with their father, are left to mourn the loss of a loving
mother and companion.

At an early age she gave her heart to Christ and became a member of
the Methodist church, later uniting with the McIntire Baptist church,
of which she was a faithful member at the time of her passing.

In the spring of 1926 she was stricken with paralysis and was a
continual sufferer from that time by a second attack.

Besides her husband and children, she leaves to mourn her departure
her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Miles, with whom she lived
till her marriage; a brother, J.C. Shumway, a sister, Mrs. George
Sharrotte, all of Bayfield, Wisconsin, and two aunts, Mrs. Harris
Atwood, Minneapolis; Mrs. William Weise, of Los Angeles; other
relatives and a host of friends that say of her "Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord."
