At the time of his death he had attained the age of 63 years, 8 months,and 7 days.
He was good to his family, a considerate and helpful neighbor, and honest and straightforward in his business dealings and had the respect of who knew him.
He leaves to mourn his death, his wife and 11 children. They are: Mrs. John Bacon, George Shawver, Mrs Ora Gage, Dewey Shawver, Mrs Clarence Davidson, Mrs. Art Frey, Mrs. Dale Besst, Harold, Ernest, Virginia and Jeanne and Merle Davidson. One brother John Shawver of Smoot, W. Va. and one sister, Mrs. Wm Rogers of California also survive.
The funeral services were held Thurs. afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the Presbyterian church in Lyons, and with Rev. L. A Thompson in charge. Interment was made in the Decatur Cemetery.

Songs:
Face to Face, Nearer My God to Thee, In the Sweet By and By.
Choir: Clay Newman, Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Matt Pond, Dr. Heyne
Odd Fellows had charge of the services at the Decatur Cemetery.

Paul Bearers
Osean Swanson, Tom Crippen, Wid Bacon, Earl Bacon, Lewis Frey, Charles Frey

Three children are not listed below. Aida Elizabeth Shawver Neal (#36324754) and Virginia Rachel Shawver Johnson's grave is unknown. There is a third child, Alice Faye Shawver who I assume is probably buried at the Hillcrest cemetery at Decatur, NE but I know of no stone.
