Oswego Democrat

   O S W E G O   D E M O R A T 
       Oswego, Kansas, 
 Friday, February 14, 1912 
                                            
    ----o----
 
      DIED 



   At her home in this city, at the corner of Indiana street and sixth avenue, Mrs D
V Shipley, on Wednesday morning at 2 am, of congestion of the brain, 

   It is with genuine feeling of sorrow 
that we are called upon to chronicle the death of our dear neighbor for 33 years.
She and her estimable husband having resided on the same corner of the street for
the past 40 years. "Aunt Jennie" as she was familiarly called by all the old
neighbors, was a women of sterling worth and a good Christian women, a member of the
Baptist church. She and her husband were pioneer hotel proprietors and the Star
hotel was for years the prominent hotel of this city ~ ~ the headquarters of all the
prominent lawyers and politicians of the '70's and '80's. 

   Her home was also the scene of all the early Sunday School and College banquets
of the boy's classes of the Presbyterian church. Many happy hours have been spent in
her home by the young people of this city. She resided alone in this home during the
past three years since death of her husband, preferring to live among memories of
the past than to go to the home of her son M C , where she would be among strangers.
Monie provided her with every comfort and visited the old home almost weekly, never
passing through the city on his train without calling upon his mother or talking to
her over the phone. 

   She leaves one son Monie C Shipley, conductor on the Frisco, two sisters, Mrs J A
Flora of this city; Mrs Dolly Johnson of St Louis, and two brothers, Mr Harry
Crawford, of Pittsburg, Indiana, and Mr John Crawford of Terre Haute, Indiana,
besides many other relatives to mourn the loss. 

   Her last illness was of short duration although she had been feeling poorly for
the past three or four months. 

  The funeral services will be conducted 
by Rev J B Hunt, from the home this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock, and the
remains laid to rest beside her husband in the Oswego cemetery.
