Aged 19 Y, 9 M, & 28 D Thank you to Shirley for the following story: From "History of Seward County, Nebraska" Death of Etta Shattuck. She made a living for her father, an aged and helpless veteran of the war of the rebellion, by teaching school. In the winter of 1888 she was teaching a country school. On the evening of January 12th that year, during the fierceness of that terrible calamitious fury of wind and blinding snow, she dismissed her school. In her misgivings for the safety of the children her kind heart was touched and she thought only of their wellfare, and after making every possible effort to guide them safely to their homes she became bewildered and lost, wandering for hours in that fearful night, she come upon a haystack in which, with trembling limbs and frozen fingers she burrowed sufficient space to admit her exhausted body, where without nourishment, suffering with her frozen feet and limbs she laid for forty-eight hours, and until found by a searching party. She was taken to her home at Seward where it was found necessary to amputate her limbs, but she died from the effect of the server and dreadful ordeal. The Columbus Journal, February 8, 1888 SHATTUCK--Miss Etta Shattuck passed peacefully to her long rest Monday morning at 9 o'clock, her father, mother, two sisters and brother being present. A telegram from Seward says that her long fasting while imprisoned in the haystack reduced her to an almost helpless condition; her back was badly frozen and the flesh sloughed away from the body, leaving a hole one to two inches in depth; had she lived, it would have been necessary to perform another amputation of both legs. Her age was 19 years, 9 months and 28 days. Blessed be her memory.
