• Notes

  MRS. SAMUEL SHELLEY DIES IN 78TH YEAR. DIED -------- FEB. 23, 35. Born in Germany, nee Christina Seefeldt. The village and community was shocked when it was learned that Mrs. samuel Shelley had passed away about 6 o;clock on Saturday evening after a few days' illness that was not considered of so serious a nature. A heart affliction setting in late in the afternoon brought on her sudden death in her 78th year. The late Mrs. Shelley, whose maiden name had been Christina Seefeldt, was the oldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Karl Seefeldt of this place, born in Germany, Sept. 14, 1857, and when ten years of age she came to this country with her parents. Her youth was spent in the St. Jacobs section, where, on Nov. 28, 1897, she married Samuel Shelley, and went to Waterloo, where they resided for 6 1/2 years. Early in the spring of 1894 they moved to the small farm at the Grand River bridge, which has been the home for the rest of her days. The departed was of a very friendly disposition and had occasion to make many friends during her 41 years of residence. There survive her bereaved husband, one daughter, Luella, at home, and one son, Nelson in Kitchener, als one brother, Karl of Spokane, Wash., U.S.A. and two grandchildren. one daughter, Mrs. Harold Trussler, predeceased her mother three years ago. The funeral which was largely attended took place on Tuesday afternoon. A brief service was held at the home at 1: 30 after which the remains were taken to Calvary Evangelical Church St., for the chief service and following this interment was made in Calvary Church cemetery at St. Jacobs. Rev. W.J. Yaeger and Rev. J. Ure Stewart were in charge of the services while Messrs. W.S. Wright, Allan Good, J.J. Wilkinson, Noah Stroh, Arthur James and Milton Weber acted as pallbearers. The Chronicle joins the many friends in sympathizing with the bereaved family in their hour of grief and sorrow.
