Obituary for Effie Shetler, Hardin County, Illinois Mrs Effie Shetler, wife of Frank Shetler died at her home in Vienna, Illinois Septemter 10, 1916 and was buried the following Tuesday at St Joseph Church Cemetery in this county. Mrs. Shetler was the youngest daughter of Donald and Sarah Davis. She was born and raised on a farm near Shetlerville, and was at the time of her death, about thirty-six years of age. In 1898 she was married to Frank Shetler. To this union four children were born,viz: Gladys, Alma, Mythel and Corlin, the last two named being too young to realize the great loss they have sustained. Her marriage to Mr. Shetler resulted in a union that was perfect in affection and harmony, little short of idolatry. In 1912 while a Catholic Mission was being held at St. Joseph Church she was converted to that faith, joined the church and remained a loyal and faithful member until death. In the spring of 1915 her health began to fail and it soon developed that she was suffering from consumption. All that mortal hands and sceintific minds could do was done for her, but no avail. The Eternal Master has called her to that home above where sickness and tribulations are unknown. She bore her afflictions bravely. A short time before her death she called her husband to her side and said that she was ready to go, that she had fought the fight. To the bereaved husband and children we would say, weep not for dear wife and mother she is at rest.
