Franklin Harry Schuemann, the son of Rudy and Grace Garrison Schuemann was born on January 24, 1922 in Avoca, Iowa.
Franklin was in the United States Merchant Marine during World War II and had seen twenty-nine months of duty and had made five trips across the Atlantic, twice to England, once to Russia, Africa and Italy, and to France. He served on Liberty Ships and The War Shipping Administration awarded him The Atlantic War Zone Bar, Mediterranean-Middle Eastern War Zone Bar and Pacific War Zone Bar.
He was united in marriage to Ula Marie Larson on August 30, 1942 and they made their home in Avoca and Harlan, Iowa area with their four children.
In 1956, they moved to Aurora, Illinois where they spent many happy years together.
Frank worked at Austin Western in Aurora, Illinois for many years until his passing.
Survivors include his wife, Ula; his three daughters, Sharon Riley, Karla Schuemann and Robyn Schuemann, and one son all of Aurora. His four granddaughters, Debbie, Tammy, Tracey and Vicki. Also surviving is his mother, Grace Schuemann of Avoca, Iowa and his brothers; James, Walter, John and Denny of Avoca and Gerald of Oakland, Iowa. There are four sisters; Mrs John Green of Los Angeles, California; Mrs Robert Maassen of Avoca; Mrs Kent Cvejdlik of Carter Lake and Mrs Bruce Havick of Harlan, Iowa.
Frank was preceded in death by his father, Rudy in 1955.
My Father passed away when I was 17 years old and our family was forever changed. He was a very loving and caring Father who always put his family first.
When my Father was in the 8th grade he had to quit school to help support his family which included 9 siblings due to his father being injured and unable to work at all. So graduating from High School is something that was a must in our family. I remember the day I graduated and after the ceremony was over the graduating class of 670 students were walking back to the school to change and my Father grabbed me with both arms and tears in his eyes. He was the only parent to do this. I didn't think about it until years later that he found me out of all those 670 students all looking alike with blue caps and gowns on. It was only three months later that a fatal heart attack would take my Father from us.
