LIVED TOGETHER ALWAYS l The passing of Mre. Shuntu| within a few days of the death of| ber sister recalls to the minds of those who have known the family the unusual life of affection which these two aged women hbhad #speDt. The sister, Miss Leafy Harris. died at the age of #%4 years, and Mri. Bhumway at the age 0f 80. Despite | their advanced age these two old | ladies bhad lived togethber practtcaily | all of their lives, bhad known eachn' others rmxu\we-m.. their peée | cullarities,. @lC., bhad furnished an example to Waukegan people o!' the sisterly affection that can ex'st between members --of a {family. 5 | It is rather striking also to note that these two womes bad always doBe their own housework even up to the very time they were tak en sick. Miss Leafy dying merely from old age. and ber--sister, Mrs. Shum-- way being taken sick one week to the day following the burial ot her sister. While pneumonia was given as the cause of Mras Sbumway's death, the fact is that following the sickness and Geath of her sister, it was Boted that ber own health was being a!-- fected, no doubt dse--to. the fact that she bad been bereaved of one who hbad lived with ber so long WELL KNOWN FAMILY Mrs. Shumway was a second wile of ber busband. ©Mr. Sshumway was a plomeer resident of Waukegan and was the father of Mre. Alec Hunter of Julian street, and ol the wmlt KEmma Shumway. The son, . Hoy Shumway,. came from the umion o! Miss Harris and Sbumway. The Sbhomway bome since the sec-- ond marriage hbad always been on West Washington street, just . west Of West street. It was the Sbum-- ago Knd the hbouse was moved io the west gide. Thereupon Mre. Shumway moved out upon Bouth Jackson street and hber sister of course went with her. Mr. Shumway died about seven years after hbis marriage to Mis® Harris.< The Harris sisters before Miss Laufa's marrlage to Shumway, had been associated for many years with Mrs. Rowland, who conducted the old Sherman house on UGenesee and * Lake streets, Waukegan. . A WOMAN OF WEALTH Following the death of Mr. Sbum-- way, hbis widow inherited a greatér part of his estate --which was sald to be one of the large ones of Wau kegan. ~In fact, for years, the pub lication of the taxlist in this county whowed that Mrs. Shumway, the widow, paid among the highest per-- sonal taxes in Waukegan. Sbe was listed along side of..the Bteeles and the Prices, in the matter of per-- every respect that there wasn't a spool of thread or anything in per-- soual effects which sahe did not in-- clude in ber personal property sched-- ule. And that is what brought it up so high. * It was rather strange to note that Mra CShomway was taken sick or-- part of his to be one 0 kegan. in lication of | whowed ths widow, paid sonal taxes listed along the Prices, sonal taxes to other families in the city, their explanation being that this old lady was sA éinesats ~and «n honest in _ Neighbors bhad been heard to #ay bhowever, that ber tax did not indi+-- cate ber actual wealth as compared borké Wwhich was taken in by en years his semior, and hbad then broken away from ber, Mrs May Thorpe of Libertyville, Saturday filed a petition in the cireulit court d rected against Florence Thoma*, the wile, asking that the marriage be | annuled. » arated soon after that.
