MRS. LOUISA SHUMAN,

An aged and well known resident of Morrison's Cove, died at the home of 
her daughter, Mrs. Mary Kauffman, at Martinsburg, last evening of old 
age, superinduced by several light strokes of paralysis sustained 
during the past few weeks.  The deceased was born in the province of 
Wurtemburg, Germany, seventy-eight years ago, but with her parents came 
to America when about seven years of age, and she has been a resident 
of Morrison's Cove ever since.  She was the mother of eleven children 
of whom the following survive: Mrs. Kauffman, at whose home she died, 
Mrs. William Ake of Martinsburg, Mrs. Lydia Latshaw of Woodbury, Frank 
and Ephraim Shuman of near Curry, Albert Shuman of Everett, and John 
Shuman, Mrs. Sarah Puderbaugh and Mrs. Catharine Diehl, all of Dallas 
Centre, Iowa.  Previous to the death of her husband, Henry Shuman, a 
year and a half ago, the deceased lived at the Shuman homestead near 
Curry Station where the couple had resided over half a century.  Less 
than two years ago the couple celebrated their fifty-sixth wedding 
anniversary.  The maiden name of the deceased was Smaltz and of a large 
family but two survive: Charles Smaltz of the west, and Mrs. Mary C. 
Rabold of 1218 Second avenue, this city.  She was a member of the 
Brethren church.
