Morning Republican, 8/13/1896
Christopher Shaner, an aged former resident of Cedarville, who has been living
at Joanna Heights of recent years, was found dead in his tent on the camp
meeting grounds at the Heights about six o'clock yesterday morning, by his
daughter Annie, who went to call him. He was 75 years of age and was in his
usual health Monday. The intense heat of last week operating upon a system
enfeebled by old age, is attributed as the cause of Mr. Shaner's death. He was
in the employ of Rev. H. U. Sebring, manager of the camp meeting, and made
himself generally useful about the grounds.
An inquest was held over the remains, and after hearing the testimony of Dr.
DeLong, a verdict of sudden death in accordance with the facts was rendered. Dr.
C. A. Yocum, of Pottstown, who was on the grounds in attendance  upon his
mother, who became ill while in camp, was summoned immediately after the
discovery of Mr. Shaner's dead body, but he left camp in the morning before the
inquest was concluded. Mr. Shaner is the father of Mahlon Shaner of Cedarville.
