This family is one of the oldest in the county and the State, and the first settlement made by Frederick Shumaker, father of him whose name heads this review, was made in Granada township in 1856. The elder Shumaker was a freighter and government teamster, who knew the prairie country of the frontier in all of its wildness of sixty years ago, and was possessed of such an abiding faith in the eventual peopling of the waste places that he purchased large tracts of land, which have steadily increased in value with the march of time and the settlement of the country. Roy Shumaker, extensive farmer and bank president of Granada township, has followed closely in his father's footsteps and has emulated his example to a considerable extent by investing in land. Roy Shumaker was born on the Shumaker homestead in Nemaha county, November 19, 1862, and when a boy of ten years he herded cattle on the plains. When he became of age he began for himself by working for wages in his father's behalf for two years. He and his two brothers then cultivated land which their father permitted them to till free from rent charges. When Frederick Shumaker distributed his land holdings, Roy received a quarter section which was the nucleus around which his present large holdings of 930 acres have grown as a result of diligence and good financial management. Mr. Shumaker raises and feeds a large amount of live stock and personally oversees his large acreage. He has 200 acres of corn this year (1916). He was married December 20, 1891, to Miss Addie Logue, who has borne him eleven children, as follows: Ethel, died in infancy; Charles E., aged twenty-two years; Chester H., aged twenty years; Addie, aged eighteen years: Rov W., aged seventeen years; Nora, aged sixteen years; Mary, died in infancy; Freddie J., aged twelve years; Walter, aged ten years; Ernest, aged nine years; Lida J., aged eight vears. Mrs. Addie Shumaker was born on a farm near Wetmore, Kans., August 3, 1874, and is a daughter of Oliver and Polly (Murphy) Logue. Her father was born in Platte county, Missouri, in 1843, and migrated to Kansas with his parents as early as 1857. He followed farming until 1896, and then went to Oklahoma and invested in land in that State. He lived in Oklahoma until his demise in 1912. Mrs. Polly Logue was born in 1850, and was the mother of the following children: William M., deceased; John F., farmer in Idaho; Mrs. Addie Shumaker, of this review; Robert, a farmer in Arizona;. Charles, living in Oklahoma. Mr. Shumaker is president of the Farmers' Union in his locality and is a Republican. He served three years as road supervisor and for several years he has been a member of the school board of his district. Mr. Shumaker is vice-president of the First National Bank of Wetmore, Kans. His success as a farmer and citizen has been a striking one and is indicative of inherent and natural ability of a high order
