tfILMA SHAFFER
DIED SUDDENLY
DEATH CAME AS A SHOCK TO
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
She Was In The Bloom Of Youtn
With All The Beauties Of
Life Before Her
Friday morning Mrs, Shaffer and
h. r two daughters, Wilma and Blythe
started to Falls City In order that
the girls might complete their eighth
grade examinations they had started
the day before. When they had
gone about fifty rods from the house
Miss Wilma complained of a pain in
her head. They went on a little way
when she dropped her purse and
l.er mother called her attention to
it but had no response, and it was
then that Mrs. Shaffer discovered the
girl was very ill. They returned to i
ihe house and immediately called
a physician. She talked with them
tor it little while then seemed to go
into a stage of unconsciousness from
which she never rallied.
When the doctor arrived he gave
the family hope and thought. she
would be all right in a few days,
but on Saturday she was no better
and a specialist from Lincoln ar
rived and held consultation with the
local physician. They pronounced he
suffering from apoplexy, but. her
youth was in her favor and there was
still hope. During the early part
of Saturday night she seemingly
rested well but later she suffered a
hemorrhage of the brain, and passed
away at 2:110 Sunday morning. Lov
ing hands and anxious parents did
all in their power to relieve Miss
Wilma of her suffering and to res
tore her to health, but all was in
vain.
Wilma Shaffer, daughter of Mr. an
Mrs. F. M. Shaffer was born in this
county Fob. !•. 1895, and died March
26, 1911, being 16 years, 1 month and
15 days old. She was the oldest of
a family of five children, four girls
and one little boy. She was an unu
sually bright and cheerful girl, lov
ing and being loved by her many
acquaintances. She was a good
scholar and took great interest in
everything she undertook to do, but
was of a nervous disposition and
it is thought her studies might have
been to much for her and had some
thing to do with her sickness.
The funeral will be held from
the Silwr Creek Church Tuesday

son having charge of the services,
