She had been ill for some time, and finally was stricken by paralysis, which caused her death. The funeral was held at Center Church. She is survived by her husband, five daughters and three sons; also by her father, Jacob Shoemaker, and two sisters, Mrs. Jeremiah Stevanus, and Mrs. Ellsworth Briskey. Many other relatives and friends also mourn her departure. She was a devoted wife and mother, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. There was a large attendance at the funeral.
