After several years of failing strength, Mr. Schumacher passed away at his home in Bluffton, Ohio, on Feb. 25, 1928, thus bringing his age to sixty-seven years, eleven months and sixteen days.
Mr. Schumacher was the 18th in a family of 16 children. Of this family 3 brothers and 1 sister survive him. These are Christian, Daniel, Adam and Mrs. Sarah Kohli.
Besides these he is survived y a host of other relatives and friends. He will be especially missed in the home circle, for he was always a good husband and father and his memory will ever remain precious to those for his love, devotion and Christian home influence.
