   ANDREW SHAFER, farmer, P. O. Wineland, was born in Cass Township, this
county, in June, 1839, son of Jacob and Elizabeth Shafer; the latter, whose
maiden name was Jack, was the Widow Kensinger prior to her marriage with our
subject's father. Jacob and Elizabeth Shafer were the parents of four children:
Eliza J., wife of Thomas Ford; Emily, wife of William Reid; Sarah, wife of Owen
Laney, and Andrew. The subject of this sketch resides on the farm where he was
born, and which is a part of a 240-acre tract of land entered by his father on
coming to this county in 1834-35. Mr. Shafer is a thorough farmer and has made
many improvements on the place since his father's death. He was united in
marriage in April, 1864, with Rebecca Crow, who died, leaving one child, Harriet
Rebecca, now the wife or Jacob Hill. After the death of his first wife our
subject was married again; this time, in 1869, to Sabilla Lanning, and by her he
has six children: Martha Jane, Mary B., Jacob H., John, Augusta and Charles.
