James O. Shumate
James O. Shumate, one of the long time and most highly regarded citizens of Slater, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Hugh C. Montgomery, in Slater, Saturday, December 22, 1945, at the age of 83 years, 5 months and 8 days. Mr. Shumate was born near LaGrange, Missouri, the son of George William and Hannah Dale Shumate, and with his parents moved to a farm near Cambridge, in Saline County, when he was but a small boy and practically his entire life had been spent as a resident of this section of the county. He professed his faith in Christ in the Fish Creek Church at the age of 15 years, transferring his membership to the Slater church in 1910, and remaining a faithful member until his death.
He was united in marriage to Minerva Goodman, October 6, 1887, who preceded him in death in 1940. To this union two daughters were born, both of whom survive, being Mrs. H.C. Montgomery of Slater, and Mrs. Charles F. Yancey of Jefferson City.
For a period of thirty-three years he was employed by the Cooperative Association No. 1 in Slater, retiring from active life in 1939, and while thus employed made many friends among the farmers of the community, being widely known as "Uncle Jim". In addition to the daughters he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Sally House of Oakland, California, and Mrs. Mary Kelley of Pleasant Hill, Missouri; one brother David Shumate of Sacramento, California; eight grand-children and eight great-grandchildren, besides other relatives and a great many old time friends. The funeral services, which were conducted by Dr. F.O. Criminger, were held at the Slater Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, December 23, at 2:30 o'clock and burial was made in the Slater City Cemetery.
