Daily Nevada State Journal June 29, 1912
Mrs. M. Schafer Called by Death
Prominent Woman and Old Nevadan Passes Away at Midnight at Ranch
After a long period of illness and at the advanced age of 78 years, Mrs.
Margaret Schaffer, an old-time resident of Reno, passed away just before 1
o’clock last night at her ranch home on Wedekind road.  Most of her large family
of prominent men and women who have figured largely in the life of Reno were at
her bedside.  Death came quietly at a quarter to twelve, the wonderful woman who
had fought so long passing peacefully beyond the gate of eternity.
Mr. Schaffer was the widow of George Schaffer, who died here in 1903, the family
having come to Nevada twenty-four years ago.  They constituted one of the most
prominent families of the state.
The deceased is survived by two sons, William Schaffer of Willetts, Cal. And
George Schaffer, Jr., of Reno.  There are also five surviving daughters, Mrs.
Emma Irish of Thalheim, Stanislaus county, Mrs. Florence Jacobs of San
Francisco, Mrs. Mary Barton, Mrs. Susie Barton and Mrs. Minnie Volentia of Reno.
The remains were brought to the city last night by the Perkins-Gulling
Undertaking company and it is probable that arrangements will be made for
interment Monday.
