Shammo died at 11:20 a. m. Monday at the family home on Vine street Nevada, aged nearly seventy-one; her funeral is conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. W. Matheny, this afternoon, Tuesday, at the M. E. church; and interment is in the Nevada cemetery. Mrs. Shammo had long had delicate health, for the past three weeks she had been severely ill, and for several days before the end her condition caused deep solitude. She suffered much till unconsciousness dulled sensibilities. Kate Bordner was born at Berrysburg, Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, March 17, 1841; she there grew to womanhood; and there was married May 12, 1864, to John H. Shammo of the same town. But the bridegroom was a furloughed Union soldier, second lieutenant in the Ninth Pennsylvania Cavalry, who, having already served three years in the army had re-enlisted, and it was not till the war closed fourteen months later that domestic happiness in a new home began. This home was for two years in the native town, thence in 1868, it came westward to Illinois, and in 1875 migrated for the Sherman township, Story county, Iowa. In 1893 it went on to Nebraska and there remained till in 1901 it came back to Nevada for a year, then retired to a farm in Richland and four years ago it returned to Nevada with hope of a long restful close for a pair of strenuous lives. Sixty years of connection with the Methodist church had developed interest in religious matters which made activity in Sunday School and church work a delight to Mrs. Shammo as long as health permitted its indulgence, supplementary to the congenial duties of home. Four children have gone out from this home to homes of their own, namely: Jennie, Mrs. Wm. H. Handsaker to Richland; William, to Wyoming; Annie, Mrs. Jesse Cook to Richland; and Alice, Mrs. E. O. Dillin, to Mason City. There are also left five grand children. It was the privilege of the daughters to care for the mother in her illness, and to share their father's sorrow at the obsequies. The bereaved husband has many times face the cannon's month in battle; but home desolation requires more courage than did the ordeal of war, and he has genuine sympathy. He and his daughters recognize helpful kindnesses they have received from neighbors and friends, and for the same herewith make grateful expression.
