Fern Etta Shaver was a twin sister to Fred George Shaver. They were the children of George & Emma VanBuren Shaver. The Pottawattamie County death record for Fern indicates that she died of pneumonia and was buried in Avoca on May 26, 1907 with E. H. Derby being the undertaker. There is no stone in Graceland Cemetery for her. However, on the records kept by the City of Avoca for burials, on lots purchased by Joseph Liggett in Section 5 Block 307 there is listed a "Shaffer child" as being buried. There are no other "Shaffer's" in Graceland Cemetery, so we believe this to be a misspell in the city records. There are two Liggett stones in the above area.
