MRS. ELIZA SHUFELT OBITUARY

Mrs. Eliza Shufelt was born December 25, 1823, and died at the home of her brother, Alfred Countryman, in Sumner, June 20, 1902 at the age of 78 years, five months and 25 days. In 1847 she came with her husband from Canada to New York state, where they resided until 1863, when they came to Bremer county, remaining there until 1868, when they removed to Bradford, Chickasaw county, where she lived until the death of her husband, which occurred August 22, 1897, since which time she lived among relatives, the last year of her life being with her brother, A. Countryman.

She was the mother of thirteen children, four of whom died in infancy. The surviving daughters are Mrs. Amelia Ross, Chicago; Mrs. Mary Myers, Plainfield; and Mrs. Emily Keller, Streator, Ill; and the sons are: Edwin, Canton, S.D.; Theodore living in Montana; William at Spokane, Wash.; and Alpheus, Jasper, and Frank, of Nashua vicinity.

Mrs. Shufelt was a member of the Baptist church, and her piety was everywhere recognized in an exemplary home live and in a loving, helpful service to all about her. She died strong in the faith of the coming resurrection, the divinity of our Savior and a hope that reaches beyond the vale.

The funeral was held in the home of A Countryman Monday morning at 9 o'clock, an excellent and appropriate sermon being delivered by Rev. W.W. Robinson of the ME Church. There was a large attendance, including a daughter, Mrs. Keller, from Illinois and a son from Nashua. The remains were taken to Greenwood Cemetery, one mile this side of Nashua.
