    Mr. Wm. Shafer Answers Last Call
    Was A Former Member of Township and Town Councils

    The county has lost a citizen of sterling worth and character, by the death of M. William Shafer, which occurred on Wednesday evening at his home at 2.30 South Queen Street, following an affliction of about a year's duration.

    Mr. Shafer was widely known in this district. Both in private life and in the municipal field his name was familiar to not a few, who were admirers of his friendliness, geniality and fair dealings. He was born in this town in the year 1838 and had reached the advanced age of 79 years, 6 months and 24 days, but was reared in the Township of Wilmot. For forty years he farmed on his property on the Petersburg Road, a mile and a half from this city, which a few years ago was sold to a syndicate and put on the market. Sixteen years ago he retired from his farming pursuits and removed to this town, his home being the handsome property at 230 South Queen Street.

    Mr. Shafer besides devoting his attention to farming found time to serve the public as a municipal legislator. For about eight years he served, on the WaterlooTownship Council and for some years he also was a member of the local Town Council. His services as Councillor were valuable and ware so recognized by those in touch with public affairs.

    His wife predeceased him about twenty years ago. Surviving him are the following children John, on the old homestead Alexander of the Petersburg Road Jacob, Guersney, Sask., who is here at present Ezra, of Marian, Kansas, George, of London, and one daughter, Veronica, at home.

    The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. next Monday at the residence and later Zion Evangelical Church. Interment will follow in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
