The wife of Frank Schemmer dropped dead on Saturday evening, from a paralytic stroke. She was but 30 years old and leaves a family of ten children, the oldest being 12 years and the baby but eight months. Mr. Schemmer is one of the oldest and most successful merchants here, and the demise of his wife casts a gloom over the entire community.
