The following obituary, handwritten, was found inside an old scrapbook
kept by my great grandfather, George Pinckney Carlock of Union County
Illinois. It is entitled "Obituary of our mother" and I believe that it
was in his scrapbook because when Lula Schmacher died, he adopted one of
her small children, Audrey Daisy Schumacher. Most of the people
mentioned can be located in the census. The dates of birth, death and
age given do not jive but the Illinois Statewide death Index of the
Illinois State Archives shows that the death date is accurate and that
Lula dies in Union county.
Obituary of our mother
Mrs. Lula Fisher Schumacher was born Sept, 16 1881. Died Feb 12, 1919,
age 38 yrs, 6 months, 12days. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband &
six children. three boys & three girls, namely Dan, Mabel, Carl, Emmons,
Audrey & Aline. Besides these a mother Mrs. Susan Zeigler of Holts
Summit MO, a brother Sheldon Fisher of Mcrae Ark., Mrs. Minnie Dodd of
Iowa, Mrs. Iva Lane of St. Louis Mo. Also many friends and
acquaintances.
Mrs. Schumacher professed faith in the great savior jesus Christ and
united with a Baptist church in Mo. thus was ready for this departure.
Great is the Sympathy felt by all for the husband and little children
who have been so suddenly bereft of a loving wife and mother.
