MRS. KATE SHAFFER

  Mrs. Kate Shaffer, a well known and highly respected lady of 
Cassville, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Margaret Shaffer, of 
Calvin, on Saturday morning, Oct. 5th.  Mrs. Shaffer was stricken with 
blindness about seven years ago, which was a great affliction to her, 
as she was always very industrious.  She sustained a fall some time 
ago, which caused her great suffering, hence her last years were spent 
in fighting disease.  Her husband preceded her to the grave many years 
ago, while they resided in the west, after which she came east and 
bought a property in Cassville, where she and her son Oscar located, 
and engaged in the weaving of carpet for a living.  Prior to her death 
she had been doing weaving for about thirty years, and some of the 
first carpet she made is still in excellent condition.  Funeral 
services were conducted at Calvin by the Rev. Trautman, with interment 
at Cassville.
