JANE SHUMAKER

  Mrs. Jane Catherine Shumaker, 68, died at her home on Keystone Street, 
Meyersdale, Wednesday, Sept. 28, after a lingering illness, during which she was 
given loving care by her children, and received ministrations from her many 
friends and neighbors.
  She was converted in early life and was a member of the Nazarene church.  She 
did not live for herself alone.  Her cheerful disposition often acted as 
sunshine to the sad hearted.  It was often said that her home had more visitors 
and friends than any home in the neighborhood.
  She was the daughter of William and Lucinda (Queer) Landis.  Her husband, 
Charles LeRoy Shumaker, preceded her in death.
  She is survived by three daughters and three sons: Mrs. George Blankenbiller 
and Mrs. L. A. Clinton of Reading, Pa.; Mrs. Ray Brown of Meyersdale; H. W. 
Shumaker and D. F. Shumaker of Akron, O., and Lt. M. L. Shumaker of New London, 
Conn., and also by 13 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.  Two children, 
Grace and Charles, preceded her in death.  Also surviving are a sister and two 
brothers, Mrs. Nora Oelschlaeger, Pittsburgh, Daniel and Albert Landis of 
Somerset.
  Funeral services were conducted at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 2, the Rev. Robert 
Eagle, officiating.  Interment in Union Cemetery.
