The Somerset Herald Wed Mar 23 1881
On the 14th day of March, Harriet Shaffer departed this life, aged 60 years, 11
months, 25 days. The deceased was a member of time Lutheran church. On the
evening of the 9th inst., we administered to her the elements of the Lord's
supper. She seemed exceedingly joyous and well-satisfied, and was waiting "to be
absent from the body and present with the Lord, to drink anew the wine in the
kingdom of God." She is gone. Trustingly and confidingly, I believe, she has
gone into the presence of her all-wise Father. No longer is she toiling
painfully along the pathway of life, upward and upward to the City of our God;
No longer here, she is there; She has entered within the precincts of the
fadeless and pure; gazing, seeing, knowing, loving as the sanctified and pure
only see, and know, and love. Earth has one spirit less, and heaven one more.
Already kneeling at the throne, she has received her welcome, and is resting on
the bosom of her Savior.
"With heavenly weapons she has fought
The battles of her Lord,
Finished her course, and kept the faith,
And gained the great reward."
					Pastor
