Latrobe Bulletin (Latrobe, Pennsylvania) · 19 Aug 1931, Wed
In accordance with instructions which were found in a note 
in one of the pockets of the late Joseph T. Shaffer, of 
Robinson near Bolivar, who took his life by the poison 
route, last Saturday afternoon, while visiting at the home 
of a daughter, Mrs. Hunter, in Kingston, the funeral 
services were carried out yesterday afternoon, the services 
being held in the Brethren Church at Robinson, with 
interment following in the Blairsville cemetery. The note 
bearing the date of August 14th, was addressed to the man's 
wife at Robinson. In it, the writer asks forgiveness for 
what he was about to do, and he directed the arrangements 
for his funeral, specifying where the services and interment 
should take place, and giving the name of Rev. John Clawson, 
of Philadelphia, as the minister who should be secured to 
conduct the services. Mr. Shaffer was the owner of a service 
station and store in Robinson. He had left home five weeks 
ago, visiting for a part of the time at Kingston with his 
daughter.
