The many friends of Mrs. Jos. Shanks were pained to learn Thursday morning of her death the previous day, July 28, 1912, at her home at Utahn, Utah. The remains were brought to Heber and funeral services were held at the stake tabernacle Sunday afternoon. The body of the tabernacle was filled with people–friends and relatives of the deceased. The services were conducted by Bp. Robt. Duke of the Heber 1st Ward. Singing was done by a selected quartette.
...One of the speakers compared her life and influence in the community where she last resided to the beautiful flower garden she had made and cultivated at her home as compared with the rough country surrounding it.
Mrs. Shanks, better known as Mae Shanks, was the daughter of J.P. and Fidelia Jacobs. She was born at Salt Lake City June 9, 1880, but later came to Heber with her parents where she grew to womanhood and on December 24, 1902, was married to Jos. Shanks of Heber. During the past five years they have struggled together to build up a home on the reservation country and have succeeded in making a veritable garden spot amid the surrounding desert country. Mrs. Shanks in her youth was an ardent worker in the Primary and Sunday Schools and her work never slackened in this line when they moved to the reservation. Though in poor health for many years she has been faithful to her duties and will be greatly missed.
