Unknown Source; April 1913
Death of Hester Sheward. 

Hester Sheward was born at Ottawa, IL., Dec. 4, 1864, and departed this life 
at her home in Napoleon April 7th, 1913, aged 48 years, 4 months and 7 days. 
When two years of age she came with her parents to Henry county, O., and lived 
on a farm until about 18 years ago when the family moved to Napoleon. Miss 
Sheward was a woman of excellent qualities and was held in the highest esteem 
by her friends. She embodied in her life the spirit of Christianity and was 
always faithful to her Christian duty. She will be missed in the home and the 
community, but she will also be missed in the church where she did everything 
possible to advance the cause of righteousness. She leaves to mourn their 
loss, two sisters and two brothers. The sisters are Miss Emma who has lived 
with her since the death of her parents, and Mrs. Alice Altman of near 
Napoleon. The brothers are William, of Berkey, Lucas county, O., and John of 
Napoleon. She also leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances who 
deeply sympathize with the family in this hour of sorrow. The funeral services 
were held at the home in S. Napoleon Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, 
conducted by Rev. Wm. A. Mast. Interment at Forest Hill cemetery.
