Page 2, Death of William Shumate
"A Kind Husband, Loving Father, and a Good Citizen Gone to His Reward"
Irvington Ky., December 10, 1894

     None but those who have been bereft of a kind husband, a loving father, 
and a dear brother, know the sorrow of the bereaved family of Mr. William 
Shumate.  He died at his home near Guston in Meade County, December 5th, 1894.  
Mr. Shumate leaves a wife and 10 children, 4 brothers, 1 sister, and a host of 
friends to mourn his loss.  He was a quiet, kind man in his family, a good 
citizen, and a good neighbor, and will be missed by the entire community.  
Yes, all will miss Uncle Bill, but the greatest loss is felt in that once 
happy family, where he was so kind, indulgent, and loving to wife and 
children.  There's a loss none can know but themselves.  That father's chair 
is empty, his place around the fireside is vacant.  Oh God: how hard it is for 
us to bow in humble submission at all times and say "Thy will, not ours be 
done".  But look up dear wife and children through your tears to Him who 
wisely wounds will heal the bleeding hearts, and be a father to the 
fatherless, a help to the widow.  Only a little while and the severed links 
will all be found in heaven.    S. S.
