SHUMWAY, Frances E. (d. 1928)

Mrs. Frances E. Shumway, beloved wife of George M. Shumway, passed away at the family
home at a late hour Monday evening, June 18. Death came suddenly and was due to an acute
attack of the heart. Mrs. Shumway was one of the original pioneers who settled in Deming with
her husband thirty-one years ago, residing here continuously since that time and was one of our
most estimable and valued citizens.

Besides her husband she is survived by three daughters, Anna Lucile and Ethel Mae, of Seattle;
and Georgia Lodema, at home; her mother, Mrs. Stoddard, and one brother, V. P. Stoddard, of
Deming, and one sister, Mrs. John Robinson of Bend, Oregon.

Mrs. Shumway was a member of the Baptist church of Bellingham, Victory Rebekah Lodge, No.
103, the W. C. T. U. of Deming, and the Whatcom County Dairymen's association. Funeral services
were held from the Presbyterian church of Deming at one o'clock Friday afternoon, June 22, with
Rev. A. Q. Quall of Bellingham conducting the services. Interment was made in the family plot in
the Deming cemetery. The Prospector joins the many relatives and friends of the deceased in
extending sympathy in their hour of sorrow.
