The Portland Observer, Thursday, November 18, 1915


Sadness fell to the lot of a family of newcomers Thursday evening in the death 
of Mrs. Casper R. Shafer at her home on what is known as the M. H. Carbaugh 
farm, south of the Knox schoolhouse, in Sebewa township, upon which the family 
settled last January.  Although her health had been poor for three years, 
members of the family were totally unprepared for her death and the shock to 
them was nothing short of unbearable.  The remains were placed aboard the 
evening train Friday for transportation to S…(illegible), Ill., where the 
family resided prior to coming to this vicinity.  The sorrowing husband and 
two small children accompanied the body to its destination, where interment 
took place.  

The family, although residents of the vicinity only a short time, have formed 
many steadfast friends who deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement.

Mrs. Shafer’s maiden name was Marie Ann Fieldcamp.  She was 32 years of age.  
She came to Portland on the Saturday preceding her death and at intervals 
since had been in spirits that seemed to indicate her early recovery.
