SISTER SUSAN
The Oldest Shaker is Buried From Center House Sunday.
	Sister Susan Murray, aged 92 years, the oldest member of the fast-
dwindling colony of Shakers, died Saturday after a short illness of grip. She 
was a native of Bullitt county and is survived by only one member of her 
family, a sister, Mrs. Lydia Pendergast, who lives in Nelson county. The death 
of Sister Susan leaves only four members of the once prosperous clan at 
Shakertown, and the closing of her gentle life has left sorrow in the hearts 
of many who knew her. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Center 
House in Shakertown, by Rev. R. N. Simpson, pastor of the Christian church, 
and she was laid to rest in the quiet Shaker cemetery, where more of those she 
loved are gathered than are left behind in the village of the living.
