JOHN F. LUMIS

Yesterday John F. Lumis, of Upper Uwchland Township, died after a brief illness 
of pneumonia, in the 69th year of his age. He had been sick only a few days and 
the shock to relatives and friends was severe.

Mr. Lumis was a native of that section and had been a farmer for many years, but 
recently disposed of his farm with the idea of returning. He is survived by 
numerous relatives. His wife died some years since. There are two daughters, 
Mrs. Blanche Connor, a widow, and Mrs. Ivan Emery surviving. There are also 
three and three sisters, namely R. R. Lumis, West Vincent, George S. Lumis and 
J. Howard Lumis, West Chester; Mrs. Lewis C. Moses; Mrs. C. K. Mosteller, West 
Chester and Mrs. William A Moore, Milford Mills.
The deceased was a member of the St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, and Mt. 
Pickering Lodge, F. & A. M. He was an industrious, good citizen, whose loss will 
be felt by others than his immediate relatives.
