Richard
Sheward and Winnie Dempsey
Roachester.
Roachester, July 18. -
Death has summoned two of our citizens to the spirit world in the persons
of Mr. Richard Sheward and Miss Winnie Dempsey,
the latter a young colored lady. Mr. Sheward was a well
known in Morrow as a shoemaker, a quiet, inoffensive citizen. he will
be much missed by our people as well as by his family. His disease was
ulceration of the stomach. Miss Dempsey had a complication
of diseases. Rev. Mr. Hammell of Morrow, officiated at
the funeral services of Mr. Sheward to the benefit of all present. The
Rev. Mr. Swiggert, pastor of the Morrow Presbyterian
church, had charge of the services at Miss Dempsey's funeral. Both of
these ministers are talented men and worthy of their high calling.
