Obituary
of C. H. "Chame" SHICK, published
in the 6 Dec 1900 issue of the Sumner Press (pg. 2?).
C.H. Shick, one of Lukin's excellent
citizens, died Thursday after an illness of several months. "Chame", as
he was familarly known, possessed a host of friends, and worthily so.
He was the largest man in Lukin, weighing over 300 pounds. His
excessive weight no doubt hastened his death, but when the summons came
he was ready. For many years he was the Lukin correspondent of the
Press, though not writing regularly. He will be greatly missed in the
community, his influence being for good. (Submitted by Linda Worstell.

Mrs. Amelia Schernekau, 68, passed away
about 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, at her home here, having been in
failing health since the first part
of the year.
Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m.
Tuesday at the Moravian church with Rev. Ira B. Wilson of the
Evangelical church, assisted by Rev.
J.N. Ellis of the Free Methodist church, conducting. Burial was made in
the Moravian cemetery.
Amelia Ulrich Schernekau, the daughter of
Christine and Gottfried Ulrich, was born in Klein Mollen, Pommern,
Germany, on Oct. 23, 1876. When five years of age she came with her
parents to America and settled near West Salem, Ill.
On May 8, 1892 she was confirmed in the
German Moravian church of West Salem, Ill., being a member of the first
class to be confirmed in the new church.
On Feb. 20, 1895, she was happily married
to William Schernekau who preceded her in death on October 28th, 1942.
To this union were born eight children, two of whom, Leonard L. and
Louise, preceded her in death. Those surviving are Roy, of Decatur,
Ill., Edna McWilliams of Evansville, Ind., John of West Salem, Ill.,
Mata of Vincennes, Ind., and Dorothy at home.
Besides the above mentioned children, she
leaves nine grandchildren; one sister, Minnie Ledeker of Sumner, Ill.;
two brothers, William, of Olney, Ill., and Fred, of San Francisco,
Calif, besides many other relatives and friends. Three sisters, Augusta

early part of 1944.
Her condition gradually grew worse and on
Saturday night, Sept. 30, at the age of 68 years she peacefully slipped
away from this earth of
sickness and sorrow into a new life of Peace and Rest. She bore her
suffering with unusual patience, never complaining, and always grateful
for any act of kindness shown her. She especially appreciated the
visits of her pastor, who before his recent departure, so faithfully
ministered to her during her illness.
