The Somerset Herald Wed Feb 26 1896 
Samuel Shaffer, native of Berlin, died on Thursday last at his home in
Johnstown, of heart trouble, aged 66 years, 4 months and 11 days. He was a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Shaffer, who removed from Berlin to Somerset many years
ago.
Mr. Shaffer engaged in the livery business here, and when the war broke out he
enlisted as a wagonmaster. He returned home to vote for Lincoln in 1864, when on
account of ill health, he did not return to the front. Later he embarked in the
grocery business and still later in the hotel business. About fifteen years ago
he removed to Johnstown where he secured employment in the Barbed Wire Mill. He
was injured while at work in the mill, and had not been able to work since.
Deceased is survived by his wife, one son and five daughters. He is also
survived by one brother, John H., of Somerset, and by three sisters, viz: Mrs.
Jacob C. Horner, of Johnstown, and Misses Christie and Elizabeth, of Somerset.
