Hull Index of Nov 11, 1904
Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer were called upon Friday to mourn the death of their little four year old daughter. The funeral was held Sunday from the Catholic church, Father O’Reilly the pastor, conducting the services and offering words of sympathy to the parents. A large number of friends were present at the church to show sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer in their time of sorrow. Only those who have me with such a loss of a dear little one can feel the grief that must attend the parents of the little darling who was laid to rest Sunday.
