      HANNAH SHOEMAKER IS CALLED IN 70TH YEAR

      Was Relict of Well-Known Publisher, the Late Casper Hett. Her Demise Loss to Community

      The sad and untimely death occurred at 8.06 o'clock last evening in the person of Hannah Shoemaker, the relict of the late Casper Hett of this city. The deceased who was well known in this eity and this part of the country, had been ill for about six years, being afflicted with effects of apoplectic stroke. The affliction became critical about week ago, and finally relief came to her long sufferings.

      The deceased was 78 years 7 months and 8 days of age.

      The deceased was born in 1838 on the Old Shoemaker Homestead in the village of Glasgow, now Bridgeport. She was a daughter of the late Jacob S. Shormaker of Glasgow Mills. During the greater part of her life she resided in his eity and vicinity. She was married to Casper Hett, who predeceased her by some twenty-four years and was a well-known publisher. She was a decendant from abe United Empire loyalist stork, her father coming from Peansylvania along with other Loyalists, not wishing to take up arms against His Majesty. She was endowed with those womanly qalities which have proved so valuable in the upbuilding of homes of the early settlers in this country. Her noble qualities and ideal womanhood endeared her to all who met and knew her, and were analogous to her motherly care and love.

      There leaves to mourn the loss of a dear and devoted mother, three children, namely, Mr. Jacob S. Hett of Philadelphia. Misses Elizabeth and Marianne Hett at home, 2 Otto .. also grandchildren. Her brother and sisters who survive are Mr. Jacob Shoemaker, Miss Elizabeth Shoemaker both of this city, and Mrs. Joel Clemens of Preston. Three brothers and five sisters predeceased her.

The sympathy of a wide circle of friends will be extended to the two daughers at home and the son in their sore bereavement, She was A member of Trinity Methodist Church for mauy years.
