BELOVED PIONEER TAKEN BY DEATH
MRS. GEORGE ANDERSON DIED LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Had Been Resident of This County-Over Half Century -
Funeral Service Saturday Afternoon

Death again took its toll of beloved and respected Charlevoix pioneers with the
passing last Wednesday night of Mrs. George Anderson, who succumbed at the
Bridge street home of her daughter, Mrs. Martin Block, following an illness of
several years.
Sarah Elizabeth Shapton was born March 31, 1859, at Avonton, Ontario, the
daughter of John and Sarah Shapton. She was raised to womanhood at the place of
her birth said there was married on October 3, 1876, to George Anderson, who
preceded her in death at Charlevoix on January 18, 1921.

Immediately following their marriage, 54 years ago, the couple came to this
county, settling on a farm in the Barnard district, where they resided until
moving to this city in 1909. Mrs. Anderson had made her home with her daughter
since the death of Mr. Anderson.
Surviving Mrs. Anderson are two daughters, Mrs. Martin Block of this city, and
Mrs. George Oldham of Hibbing, Minn. A son, Louis Wm. Anderson, is deceased.
Other surviving relatives are two grandchildren. Clare Oldham, Chicago, and
Helen Oldham, Hibbing, Minn.; also four brothers, Richard and Will Shapton of
Charlevoix, Thomas Shapton of Flint, and John Shapton, Aberdean, Washington.

Mrs. Anderson, a staunch christian throughout her life, was a member of the
Methodist church at the place of her birth, and later of the Charlevoix
Methodist church, where funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon by Rev. W. W. Hurd, pastor. Interment was at Brookside cemetery.

The large attendance at the funeral services Saturday afternoon attested to the
esteem in which Mrs. Anderson was held by all who knew her. Barnard friends were
saddened to hear of the death of Mrs. Anderson in Charlevoix last week. 
She was a pioneer resident in this community and will be mourned by a large
circle of friends here.
