Mrs. Shatto Laid to Rest January 12
Passed Away Sunday at Sacramento, California
Last respects were paid Mrs. David Shatto, 66, in funeral services held last Friday afternoon, January 12, at two o'clock at the Grace M.E. church.

She had retired for the night, and about an hour prior to her death she arose. Members of the family inquired about her health, but she seemed to be feeling well. She again retired, and when her sister-in-law with whom she was sleeping attempted to converse with her, she found that she had peacefully passed away.
