Corning Courier Saturday, March 19, 1910 Front Page Death Came While Attending Normal College. ========================================== Miss Effie Shemwell, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Shemwell, who reside just east of the Corning cemetery, died at Chillicothe, Mo., last Friday morning at 7:15 o'clock, after a lingering illness of two weeks with measles and pneumonia. The young lady, in company with Miss Fannie Moore of this city, went to Chillicothe last September to attend a normal college of that city, and was joined there in November by her sister, Miss Lillie Shemwell. The young ladies did not return home during the holidays, but preferred to remain with their school work. Thursday morning Mr. Shemwell received a telegram announcing the serious illness of his daughter, and left on the noon train, in company with Charlie Moore, brother of Miss Fannie, for Chillicothe. They arrived there shortly after 4 o'clock, and Miss Effie passed quietly to her eternal rest three hours later. She was unconscious when her father arrived and of course did not recognize him. The remains were brought to Corning Saturday morning, accompanied by the young lady's father and sister. Later in the day the remains were taken to the home of her aunt, Mrs. A. W. Davis, who resides near Pitman, in Randolph Co., and were laid to rest in the Pitman cemetery Sunday morning. Miss Shemwell was reared in Randolph Co., near Pitman, and came here about three years ago with her parents. The funeral was preached at Pitman by Rev. D. H. Sharp of the Baptist church, of which denomination Miss Effie was a member. The deceased was 25 years, 10 months and 26 days old.
