Mrs.Shafer had been sick for six weeks and her only hope of recovery was an operation. She bravely submitted to it, realizing that it was a case of life and death but her weak system could not stand the shock and death came to relieve her of her suffering.The remains were brought here Tuesday night and the funeral will be held at the house east of town today, interment to be made in Lakeside cemetery. Mrs.Shafer was formerly Ida VanBuren and had been married four years.A sad feature of the case is the two little children who are left to grow up without knowing the loving care and tenderness of a mother. Deceased was twenty-six years of age and leaves a husband, father, mother and ten brother and sisters to mourn her death, which comes at a time when it seems she is most needed and when life seemed most dear. The bereaved husband and children have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
