Shaffer Called by Death. Another of Dodge county's fine old pioneer women passed to her rest last Sunday morning at four o'clock, when Mrs. Jacob G. Shaffer answered the summons, after a long period of ill health which culminated in this last serious illness. As Elizabeth Winey, the deceased was born August 8, 1856 at Richfield, Pa., and passed peacefully away on August 12, 1934 at the age of 78 years and 4 days. On December 19, 1875, occurred her marriage to Jacob G. Shaffer, the husband with whom she was permitted to enjoy more than 58 of married life, a rare privilege which few experienced. Prior to their marriage Mr. Shaffer had been captain of a canal boat, but the middle west that land of promise, was the goal of many from the eastern states and it was decided to leave the old home and to take their chance with the pioneers in the new, and then little known of Nebraska. Following the marriage the young couple joined an immigrant train for this state, arriving in Dodge county, March 16, 1876. Their first home here was on what is now known as the Hehebrand farm southeast of Hooper. On this they resided for one year, and then moved to the home place two miles south of Hooper now occupied by their son, John. Here they lived until 1912 when they moved to town and since then our little city had claimed her as one of its highly esteemed citizens. In her more than half a century of residence in this community, Mrs. Shaffer became widely and favorable known for her many fine qualities as a neighbor, a friend, and above all as a wife and mother. Her family of outstanding sons and daughters, each one an asset to the community where they reside, are a living monument to the teachings of a true Christian mother. That those teachings and the mother love which inspired them are remembered and appreciated, is testified to by the grief of the family at the mother's passing. The sons and daughters, who with their aged father, have the sincere sympathy of the community in their hour of bereavement, are; William V., Lincoln; Harvey H., North Bend; Norman E., John A.. Miss Mary and R. Clark, Hooper; Stanley, Linwood, Calif., Jay, York; Miss May, Omaha and Miss Rose E. Shaffer, Prescott, Arizona. She is also survived by ten grandchildren and two sisters and one brother in Pennsylvania. Owing to the age of these relatives it was not possible for them to be present at the funeral of their sister. Stanley arrived from California Monday evening, while Miss Rose, who has been in Arizona for a couple of years because of her health, was also unable to undertake the long and trying trip home. The other children and their families were at the mother's side during her last illness and death. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Wollmer & Warne, the funeral being held yesterday afternoon at two o'clock from Grace Lutheran church - - - services at the home. Rev. Peter Jacob, of Shenandoah, Iowa, a close friend of the family and a former teacher to a number of the Shaffer children while they were pupils in the Denslow School near the home farm. cut short his northern trip in order to be present and to deliver the sermon at the last rites for a loved friend. He was assisted in the services by Rev. W. H. Moeller and Rev. George A. Morey, pastor of churches attended by various member of the family. Rev. Jacobs spoke most feelingly and sympathetically, of this pioneer mother and the hardships and trials of her past days, which she undertook so cheerfully and bravely for the love of friends and family. He used a text for his discourse which was of Mrs. Shaffer's own choosing, having been found in her bible after her death together with other memorabilia. Music for the service was by a male quartet with Vernon Sanders at the organ. In respect to the family, business houses were closed during the hour of services yesterday, the service being largely attended both by home folks and by out-of-town friends of the family. The floral tributes were profuse and very beautiful. Interment was made in the family lot in the Hooper cemetery.
