Brian's findings

The 1880 census of Mill Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio enumerates the Shamel household:

  • William Shamel (49, laborer, born North Carolina, self)
  • Nancy Shamel (47, wife, keeping house, born North Carolina)
  • Irwin Shamel (son, 28, railroad fireman)
  • Amelia Shamel (daughter, 20, at home)
  • Francis Shamel (daughter, 17)
  • William Shamel (son, 14 — the William of this funeral notice)
  • Charls Shamel (son, 7, born Ohio)
  • Lewis Shamel (son, 4, born Ohio)

The older children were born in North Carolina.

The census age of 14 in 1880 is consistent with the funeral notice's age of 28 years, 2 months, 4 days at death in June 1894.

Died at the family residence, Uhrichsville, Ohio, William H. M. Shamel, 28 years, 2 months, 4 days. Interment Union Cemetery
