WILBUR B. SHIRER
Wilbur B. Shirer was born in Muskingum Co., Ohio, Jan. 31, 1864. He came with his parents to Lucas county, Ia., in 1876. He was married to Louella I. Graham Dec. 22, 1887. To this union were born two children, a son and a daughter, one of whom, the latter, died at the age of six years. His wife died May 27, 1893.
He moved to Ridgeway, Mo., in 1893 and has since made that his home. He was married again to Hannah C. Mirgon Feb. 12, 1896 at Ridgeway. To this union two children were born, a son and a daughter, both of whom survive him.
He died Jan. 25, 1905, in El Paso, Texas, where he had gone seeking health.
He was a man of good moral character, upright in his relations with his fellow man and was a general favorite in the community in which he lived.
Though in infancy dedicated to God in baptism in the Lutheran church by his pious parents, Mr. and Mrs. Q. A. Shirer, and in mature years being a believer in Jesus Christ and the word of God, yet he never made a public profession of his faith by uniting with the church. A few months before his death, in conversation with a relative, he gave a reason for this, that while in the employ of the R. R. Co., having to labor on the Sabbath day etc., he could not live a consistent christian life.
He leaves an aged father and mother, three brothers, three sisters, a wife and three children and many friends to mourn the loss of a dutiful son, a loving brother, husband, father and friend.
He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge at Ridgeway, and the Odd Fellows at Russell took charge of his body. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. McGaughey of the Presbyterian church. The remains were laid to rest in the Russell cemetery.
