Read More	Samuel Grant Shaffer, whose life history we record in this brief way, was the son of Wiliam H Shaffer and Sarah Fee Shaffer, and was born north of Center Point at the Shaffer homestead in Grant Township, this county, October 11, 1864, and passed away at a nursing home in Marion after a short illness, August 7, 1943, aged 78 years 9 months and 26 days. His entire life was lived in this community, except for two years lived in and around Estherville, this state. Mr. Shaffer never married. As a citizen of this town and county, he was ever ready to do his duty as such, serving on the town council, and as county and township chairman of the political party to which he adhered. He leaves to mourn his passing one brother and two sisters: Dan Shaffer of Terril; Mrs. Rebecca Stewart of Rock Rapids; and Mrs. Magdelaine Teed of Osceola, Wisconsin; a large number of nephews and nieces, other relatives and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his father and mother and three brothers and three sisters, John Henry, James Thomas, William Pendleton, Mrs. Susan Jane Pearsall, Mrs. Martha Ann Doofman and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bumgardner. He was well and favorably known in the community, and all will miss his familiar face, and all extend to the sorrowing family their heartfelt sympathy. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at two o’clock at the Sarchett Funeral Home, with Rev. E. H. Heverly the officiating pastor. Mrs. Jack Ashlock and L. J. Dennis, accompanied by Mrs. Earl Brannaman sang “Going Down the Valley” and “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.” The pallbearers were Dr. C. G. Yost, C. H. Benion, Roy Wickham, Fay Pardun, Dan Mahoney and Mark V. Keyes. Burial was in the Center Point Cemetery.
