Shook, Died During Night Many Descendants Mrs. Sarah Shook, 93 years of age, widow of David W. Shook, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ira Melson. north of Hobbs Wednesday night at 10 o'clock, death ending an illness of several weeks from heart trouble and a general breaking down due to her advanced age. The death of this splendid woman removed from the community a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who lived to see many changes in this state and county. For the past fifty-four years she resided in Tipton county, coming here with her husband from Ripley county. "Grandma" Shook, as she was known to relatives and friends, was one of the beloved women of this county, a devout Christian who reared a family of splendid children and leaves many descendants who will be influenced by her teachings throughout their lives. For many years she was a member of the Baptist Church and a woman whose religion was practiced in her every act and deed. Mrs. Shook was born in Ripley county, Nov. 12, 1840, being one of ten children born to Samuel and Mary (Waters) Jackson. She was the last surviving child. She was married in Ripley county to David W. Shook, the ceremony being performed by Rev. John Walters, a Baptist minister of Versailles and she and her husband lived there until their removal to this county in 1880. Of the eleven children born to this couple, three daughters and four sons survive; Mrs. Ira Melson, Mrs. Mort Losey and Mrs. Nora Smith, all of the community northeast of Tipton; Rev. Albert Shook of Windfall; Elmer Shook of Fountain City; Willard Shook of Bunker Hill; and Renzo Shook, residing near Muncie. Mrs. Shook and her husband spent most of their married life on a farm, removing to Windfall when they retired from the farm, where the husband died in 1917. Aug. 4, 1928, Mrs. Shook met with an accident at the home of her daughter, when she fell and struck her face, injuring her left eye in a manner which ruined the sight. She recovered from that accident and up to a short time ago was able to be up and around the home. Funeral service have not been arranged at this time, but the body will lie in state at the home of the daughter and friends are invited to call at any time. Contributor: Walter Bennett (47573878)
