Farmon, twin of Harmon, Scramlin Obituary

Copy of obituary from Gary Hanna (March 2013)

Farmon Scramlin was my first cousin 4x removed.

          Mr. Farmon Scramlin died at the

home of his son-in-law, Jay Sanstrom,

Thursday forenoon, June 30, at about

9:15. Mr. Scramlin was at work hoeing

among the out door plants at the

greenhouse Tuesday forenoon, and was

apparently in his usual health. At

about 11 o’clock he was seen at work,

and a short time later he was found

lying on the ground in an unconscious

condition. He was carried to Mr. A.

Melby’s residence where his son-in-

law lives, and medical aid summoned

all that could be done was restore

consciousness, but without avail, and

he gradually failed and he breathed

his last at the hour above stated.

Mr. Scramlin was born in Charleston,

Michigan, May 11, 1841, and in

1850 came to this county with his

parents. In June 1864 he enlisted in

Co. H, 76^th Ill. Inf., and went to the

front. He served with his regiment

through the war, and at Ft. Blakely

was wounded in the right arm. At

the close of the war he returned here

and took a position as clerk in Patterson’s

hardware department, learning the tinner’s trade.

In 1871 he formed a partnership with W. Astle

in the hardware business. Later the

partnership ended and Mr. Scramlin

went into the same business in Grant

Park, remaining there seven years; he

then traveled for two years for the

Temple Pump Co. He then engaged

in farming, which he followed until

1888, when he moved into town.

During his long residence in this

city he made many friends who deeply

regret his sudden death. He was a successful

man in business as well as in farming,

and only gave up the latter when

compelled to do so on account of

the weight of years and ill health.

On October 3, 1872, Mr. Scramlin

was married to Miss Mary Lamport.

To them one daughter was born, Lura

M., the wife of J. Sanstrom. The wife

also survives him.

            Mr. Scramlin was a Mason, being a

charter member of the Grant Park

lodge, and was also a member of Worcester

Post, No. 627 G. A. R. In his death

these societies have lost a most

consistent and valued member.

            The funeral services will be held

from his late residence on West Fourth

Street tomorrow, Saturday, afternoon

At 2 o’clock.
