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.

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. .
