MARGARET McPHERSON SHAFER
 
Again we are called upon to record in the columns of the Enterprise, the death 
of one whom this community loved, and are sorely grieved at her early 
departure from this life when it seemed the brightest.  It had been generally 
known by the many inquiring friends that Mrs. Bruce Shafer who for the past 
ten weeks had been in a critical condition at the home of her uncle in Boise, 
had but little chance of recovery, but when the sad intelligence came that she 
had passed away last Saturday morning, a greater measure of sadness was keenly 
felt.
 
Margaret McPherson was born in Indian Valley, Idaho, February 26, 1898.  She 
was left without a mother when but a child two years of age, and at the age of 
nine her father also died.  After the death of her parents, she made her home 
with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. McPherson of Boise, where she spent 
her school days, finishing with a course at Link's Business College.
 
She came to Payette October 1918, where she accepted a position with the 
Payette Valley Rex Spray Co., making her home with Mr. and Mrs. L. K. 
Ballenger.  Mrs. Ballenger being an intimate school mate during their school 
days in Boise.  While here she met and was united in marriage to R. B. Shafer, 
September 14, 1919.  The following year Mr. and Mrs. Shafer moved to Boise 
where they continued to make their home until death separated the short, but 
happy union of less than two years.
 
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the Undertaking Parlors of Summers 
& Kreb, conducted by Rev. Jones, rector of the Episcopal church, who was the 
officiating Clergyman when she was christened and confirmed, and who 
officiated at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Shafer.  Besides the husband she is 
survived by one sister, an aunt and uncle, who live in Boise, all of who will 
have the heart-felt sympathy of many friends both here at Payette and at Boise.
