From Gospel Hearld, Herald of Truth Obituary - September 1896. SCAMMEHORN-On the 29th of
July 1896, near Emma, LaGrange Co., IN, Minnie May, wife of James Scammehorn, aged 19
years, 9 months, 4 days. Buried on the 2nd of August. Funeral services at the house by D
J Johns, from Eccl, 3:17
"We watched her breathing through the night
Her breathing soft and low
As on her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro."
And when the dim and sad hour came her quiet eye-lids closed in death. No more can I hear
dear sister's voice, for the Lord has called her home to resr, where sorrow, pain and
trouble never come. HER SISTER ANNA.
