I've "rescued" an old photograph of Claude SHUMATE and his wife which was taken at the Genelli Studio in Sioux City, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the couple in their 30's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the couple and their family: Florence Lucinda "Flossie" MULLEN b. 2 Apr 1887 in Red Oak, IA to parents Clark Albert MULLEN (b. 9 Aug 1861 in Rochelle, IL) and Sarah Augusta WEIN NEWMAN (b. 17 Oct 1861 in Jefferson, WI). Florence married Claude Thomas SHUMATE b. 7 Dec 1877 in Red Oak, IA to parents Silas & Elizabeth SHUMATE (Silas b. 1841 in Lawrence Co. OH and Elizabeth b. Nov 1850 in OH) in about 1909 in IA. The couple had 5 children including, Milton Clark; Floyd Russell; Ralph Emery; Lois; and Verna SHUMATE, all born between 1910 and 1917. Florence MULLEN SHUMATE died in Mar 1973.
