Daughter of Michael SHEARER and Rosella WATERS. Wife of John F. FOX.
Funeral services for Mrs. Margaret SHEARER FOX, wife of Mr. John F. FOX, of Kent, Ohio, were held at the home of her sister, Mrs. E.D. WELCH, on Jefferson and Garber streets, this city, Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The body was brought here on Friday from her late home, where she passed away Tuesday evening, April 18th, following a stroke of apoplexy which she suffered a few hours before. Mrs. FOX had not been in perfect health for some time, but was able to be about cheerfully in her home, in her church and among her friends. The deceased was the eldest child of Michael and Rosella (WATERS) SHEARER and was born in Shade Valley, later moving with her parents near Orbisonia, where she spent her girlhood days, along with the sisters and brother who composed the SHEARER family. Prior to the entrance of marriage and death in her home, it was known over a wide area as one of the most cheerful, hospitable homes in that section. A home, young and old enjoyed visiting. Margaret was always admired for her capability. Her hands were ever ready, and her heart willing to help in every need. Much of her life was spend in nursing and caring for invalids. To these she administered patiently and kindly. After the death of her parents, she held her own home in Orbisonia for some years. She later engaged in nursing in Pittsburg and Clearfield, and it was while in the later place that she met Mr. FOX, to whom she was united in marriage a little over three years ago, to whom she was a devoted companion and for whom she made an ideal home. She was a true Christian woman; living daily as closely as possible to the great truths she found in the open Word, which was her guide, as was evidenced by the fact that her Bible was found open close to her unconscious form when the husband reached her side Tuesday, after she was stricken. During her short residence in Ohio, she had made many friends, who gave proof of the esteem, which they held for her in the beautiful flowers that covered her casket upon its arrival here. Friends from other parts paid her memory tribute, with the same silent messengers. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and expressed shortly before her death that she always received inspiration from attending the services of the sanctuary, and listening to the gospel in message and song. She loved the sacred music. Rev. F.W. BIDDLE, pastor of the First Methodist Church, this city, conducted the service of Sat. afternoon, assisted by Rev. David Stewart CURRY, of the First Presbyterian Church. A quartette, composed of Miss Darthea DAVIS, Mrs. D.C. GOODMAN, Charles H. WELCH and Cloyd B. EWING, accompanied by Mrs. Mary K. GIFFORD, rendered, "Abide With Me," and "It is Well With My Soul". The pallbearers were her brother, Samuel SHEARER, brothers-in-law, E.D. WELCH, J.D. APPLEBY and her cousins, Drs. J.M. and S.B. FLEMING and D.G. WELCH. Burial followed in Odd Fellows' cemetery. A. J. BARBEN was funeral director. The husband, sisters, Mrs. E.D. WELCH, Mrs. J. Donald APPLEBY of this city, Mrs. Arthur KELLY of Crafton, Pa., and one brother, Samuel SHEARER, of Mount Union, survive. These relatives desire to thank all who rendered kindness and assistance to them in the time of sorrow.
