Obituary: BUFFALO, N.Y. - The death of Mary J. Shorten occurred here on March 19, 1985. Born January 9, 1889 in Centennial, she was the daughter of Angus and Mary Ann (MacDonald) MacDonald. As a young girl, like many of her age, she left home to work in Trenton where she met and married Frederick C. Shorten.
