Philip
Schumacher died at his home in Woodsfield, on Tuesday morning,
He was
born on the 22d day of May, 1822, at
He was
married to Elizabeth Schumacher, nee Schneider, on
For a
short time he lived at
His wife Elizabeth, nee Schneider, died in Woodsfield, April 29,
1892, aged 68 years and 7 months. There was issue of said marriage, six
children, all of whom are living, viz: Philip
Schumacher, Louis Schumacher, Frank Schumacher, Lena Diehl and Rosena Mallory, all of Woodsfield, and John Schumacher of
Moundsville, W. Va. He also leaves to survive him 20 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren.
On the
23rd day of April, 1895, he was married to Elizabeth Matz, who survives him.
Mr.
Schumacher was blessed with an iron constitution, and with strong will power.
In the battles of life he overcame difficulties that would have swamped weaker
men, and succeeded when others failed. Honesty was the controlling and guiding
principle of his life, and while he made no claim to be better than his
neighbors, they, who sustained business or social relations with him, will
testify, that he was ever actuated by the principle of justice and fair play.
He served well his day and generation and has passed away to join the great
majority on the other shore.
His
life work is closed. “He is dead.”
The
poet has well said:
“And
what is life? An hour glass on the run,
A mist retreating from the morning sun,
A busy, bustling,
still-repeated dream.
It’s length? A minutes
pause; a moment’s thought,
And happiness? A bubble on the stream.
That in the act of seizing shrinks to naught,
And what is death? Is still the cause
unfound?
That dark, mysterious name
of horrid sound?
A long and lingering sleep the weary crave.
And peace? Where can
its happiness abound?
Nowhere at all, save heaven
and the grave.”

It is
indeed with a sad heart I pen a few lines concerning the death of our little friend
Grace Scott. Grace was the beautiful little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Scott. She was only sick a short time until the grim monster death claimed her
as its victim. Grace was a loveable child, kind and affectionate to everyone.
None knew her but to love her. She will be sadly missed by us all but no place
so much as home. Her little prattling tongue is hushed, vacant chair at the
table and her good night kiss that she always gave her mama. They will be no
more. Her vacancy in that home can never be filled. Her time here on earth was
short, only seven years, but God has called her as a little bud from earth to
bloom in heaven. It is hard to give her up but we know she is with the angels
standing by the pearly gates, watching, waiting and ready to reach out her
little hands to her loved ones and bid them enter.
The
parents and grandparents have the sympathy of the entire community.
The
funeral services were conducted by Rev. Peoples of Summerfield, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the Summerfield cemetery to await the
resurrection. [d.Dec.20, 1906] L.V.M.

Minerva Thompson.

Her
father, mother, three sisters and one brother have preceded her.
When
but young she united with the Methodist Episcopal church
and has remained a true Christian. She has been a sufferer for many years, no
one ever heard her complain.
The services
were conducted by Dr. Wuestenberg at the brother’s
home, then the remains were laid to rest in the public
cemetery at Woodsfield.
Mr. A. D. Thompson was a boy 8 years old when his
mother was taken and this sister has taken the place of a mother in the home
and has always remained with him. He feels as though it has been a mother taken
from him more than a sister.
Her
life was far above reproach and from her monument of noble deeds I feel assured
that she has made a happy exchange. For to know her was to love her. For me to
live is loss and to die is gain.
She
leaves four brothers and many relatives and friends to weep because of their
great loss. We hope to meet her face to face upon that bright and happy shore
where they that part no more and the long parted meet
again. Dear friends remember that all must die but we shall be changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, for the Lord Jesus shall fashion anew the
body of our humiliation and make it just like his own glorious immortal one.
Marvel
not at this for the hour cometh in which all they that are in the tombs shall
hear his voice. Everyone that hath this hope set on him purifieth
himself even as he is pure, they can not come back but we can go to them.

saw the smile of a babe as it lay asleep in its cradle and gathered it to his
bosom, knowing it surpassed the rose as sunlight does the moonlight; still, as
he went he saw a mother’s love, and saying this is indeed of all things the
most beautiful, and this he took back to his Master.
When he
returned and presented his collection, lo, the petals of the rose had withered,
the innocent smile of the babe had grown into the coarse, drunken jeer of the
man and of the three, the mother’s remained unchanged.
So was it with Grandmother Tipton. Surrounded by her family, all well and

greatest pleasure in their love.

Early in life he united with the Methodist family of

heart to God and his name to the church and he remained a faithful working

he had an enemy it was unknown to the writer and we were acquainted and

Margaret Ann Martin of Antioch, Ohio, ceremony by Elder William Jarvis of the
Christian church. To this union were born 13 children, 7 boys and six
girls. One boy and one girl died while young, leaving still living 6 boys and 5
girls, all of whom were near and able to attend their father’s funeral. These
children are all married and have children of their own. His children as above
said were all at home once more together at their father’s house. But, oh, what
a sad homecoming it was to them, to see him away to be seen by them no more in
this world.
A few
months before his death he made a request known that his six boys be the
pallbearers of his body to the tomb when called from this earth to the home
beyond. This request was fulfilled to the letter and with slow, solemn tread
his six boys bore the casket with its holdings into the old Woodsfield cemetery
and there laid him away near his own father whom he helped lay away some forty
years ago as a dead soldier of the great civil war, and besides scores of his
old friends of Woodsfield who had preceded him there.
His
second marriage took place in the fall of 1889 with Miss Arcadia D. Sharp of
Somerton, Ohio, where they continued to reside for some years finally moving to
Woodsfield, where he has lived a great part of his life and where most of his
children were raised and where he had lived several years just preceding his
death. No offspring resulted from the second marriage union.
There
remain to mourn the death of Mr. Ullom his widow,
eleven living children, twenty-seven grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren. Also other near relatives of his own father’s family, six
sisters, two only of whom, Mrs. Mahala Little, mother
of Sheriff Charles O. Little, and Mrs. Rachel Hall, both of Woodsfield, Ohio,
were near enough or able to attend their brother’s funeral. Beside on the side
of his first wife there are living five boys and two girls, only one of whom
was able to attend the funeral.
Mr. Ullom was a good, kind and loving husband, a kind and
indulgent father and well loved by all the members of his families. He had a
