                          Susanna E. Shupe

Susanna E. Shupe was born August 7, 1851, at Owenstown, Canada, and
died at Jamestown, North Dakota, August 30, 1913.  She was the second
daughter of William and Nancy Shupe.  At the age of two years she came
with her parents to Decorah, Iowa, and in 1865 the family moved to
McIntire.  On June 5th of the same year she was united in marriage
to Henry Farnam of Lime Springs.  To this union eight children were
born, as follows: William, Ed, Frank, Charles, George, Grace, Arthur,
and Roberta, all of whom with their father are left to mourn the
loss of a loving wife and mother.  Mrs. Farnam was converted in 1867
and united with the Christian church, and later when she returned
to McIntire she united with the Baptist church and has since remained
a faithful member of that denomination.  The funeral was conducted
by Rev. Bodenham at the Baptist church Thursday afternoon and the
remains laid to rest in the Wayne cemetery.
