From the Granville Anglican Burials: "Mary Shafner of Lower Granville, buried 10 Aug. 1871 age 32, wife of Jas." Provincial Wesleyan - Wednesday, 29 May 1872 - Page 4 Obituary - Mary, wife of Mr. James Shaffer, died at Lower Granville, August 8, 1871. Mrs. S. whose maiden name was Church, while yet a mere infant lost her father by death, after which she became the adopted child of Mr. William Clarke of Bridgetown. At her marriage she removed to Lower Granville. In the year 1868, the village in which was her home, being then a part of the Annapolis circuit, she was awakened under a sermon by the writer, and soon after, having obtained a clear sense of pardon, she connected herself with the Wesleyan church. She was characterized by great sweetness of disposition, but was at the same remarkable for firmness of will, and unhesitating faithfulness in the performance of duty. She made her home attractive, for she looked well to the ways of her household, and was a most considerate hostess. Death came to her while yet in early womanhood and held to life by the care of her children still of tender age. Her disease (pulmonary consumption) induced unusual distress, and during her last hours, her sufferings were excruciating. But through Divine grace her afflictions were greatly sanctified to her spiritual health. When I came to the circuit I found her near her end, but sustained by an unfaltering trust in God her Saviour, and comforted by the tokens of his presence and favour. And thus sustained and comforted she passed through the agonies of dissolution and was not for God took her. J.H. Contributor: Ric Noble (47989037)
