SHAFFER:--Following a long period of invalidism with paralysis during which time he had been practically helpless for the past 7½ years, William D. [B] Shaffer, one of Zion's well known citizens, was called from his earthly home on Sunday about 8:15 p.m. During the many years of his illness, Mrs. Shaffer has been tenderly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. Mary Weiland in his own home. Although so long a sufferer from paralysis, his demise was caused by apoplexy. Deceased was 87 years of age and was born in Madisonburg, the son of Samuel and Catherine Shaffer. In early manhood he married Miss Louise Grimm, who preceded him to the grave some years ago [1917]. To this union the following children survive: Albert L., Mrs. Hiram Lutz [Candace Olive], Mrs. Mary D. Weiland and Mrs. John Corman [Lily Belle], of Zion; N. C. [Newton] of Lock Haven; Mrs. Catherine Rothrock, of Williamsport; Miss Cora Shaffer, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Luther Musser [Fannie May] of State College. One brother also survives, Samuel Shaffer of Rebersburg. 24 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren survive. William Shaffer was a carpenter by occupation, which he followed for many years; later he took up farming and became quite successful. The funeral will be held from his late home this Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev Shultz of Snydertown will officiate. Interment will be made in Zion Cemetery.
