First husband of Marie Thomson Shriner/Hall. -------------- Fairfield Ledger December 19, 1929 Pg. 1 Col. 4 HUGH SHRINER DIED HERE TODAY Popular Rural Carrier Had Been Ill Less Than a Week Hugh M. Shriner, Rural Route Carrier No. 8, and one of the most popular employees connected with the Fairfield Postoffice, died at his home, 303 West Grimes street at 9:20 oclock this morning, after a very brief illness with pneumonia. Five days ago he served his route as usual, although suffering from a heavy cold. Hugh Marquis Shriner was born in Fairfield September 16, 1887 and was therefore in his 43rd year. He was the son of Charles A. and Bessie DuBois Shriner and spent his life in this community. He was married Nov. 4, 1907 to Miss Merrie Thomson (sic. Marie Thomson) and to this happy union was born four children: Kathryn, of Ottumwa, Margaret Agnes, Marquis and Charles. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Bessie Shrine, long an employee at the Fairfield Glove and Mitten factory, and his brother, John, also one sister, Carrie Shriner. His father died when he was a lad of five, and a sister, Ethel, died over 20 years ago. Hugh Shriner was employed in young manhood in the C. T. Reynolds grocery store, and in other stores in the city until 1919, when he took the civil service examination for the position of rural carrier, which resulted in his appointment on April 19, 1919. He succeeded the late James M. Gregg as rural carrier on the Glasgow rural route and through his industry and efficiency, couples with rare good nature, soon won for him a high place in the affections of his fellow postal employees and of the patrons on his route. "Red" Shriner would do anything for his patrons, unless specifically forbidden by department regulations. He would never refuse to match samples at a store, and was entrusted with many responsibilities not in conflict with his official duties. His faithfulness to duty caused him to serve his route up to and including last Saturday, because it is not good form for a postal employee to be absent from duty during the heavy Christmas rush. As a result Mr. Shriner was found to be critically ill on Sunday, and unusual care was at once provided. Two very helpful and faithful nurses, Miss Catherine E. Gaule and Miss Lucile Lyon, both graduate nurses of St. Joseph's hospital, Ottumwa, were present. Miss Kathryn Shriner, his eldest daughter, also a St. Joseph's nurse, also gave trained attention as well as loving care. The unexpected death comes as a shock and great loss to the community and to rural route patrons. Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist church, Sunday afternoon at 2 oclock in charge of Dr. U. S. Smith.
