"Frank Shoemaker" is better known to us under the name Schumacher. He had a connection to the Schaveys by marriage — his sister, Hattie, had married Henry's brother, William. Until now Frank and his wife, Eliza, had farmed rented land, so this purchase was a milestone for them. But the pride and happiness of finally owning their own farm would be tempered, I expect, by the grief of having lost their only child in February 1921.
