From Nevada Representative March 4, 1910 (page 5)

Rev. B. F. Shoemaker and daughters left this morning for West Concord, Minnesota, being called thither by the death of Mrs. Shoemaker's father, Mr. Wray, which event occurred yesterday. Mrs. Shoemaker had been at the bedside of her father for the past ten days, and his demise was not unexpected. He had attained more than four score years and till a month ago had maintained reasonable vigor. His wife survives. The funeral will be held on Saturday, and the Shoemakers will probably return sometime next week.

From Nevada Representative March 11, 1910 (page 5)

Rev. B. F. Shoemaker and family returned Wednesday night from West Concord, Minnesota, whence they had bee called a week ago by the illness and death of Mrs. Shoemaker's father, Mr. Wray. The wreck at Racine added several hour to their trip home over the Short Line. A train from Mason City brought them as far south as the wreck, and thence, after a walk around the wreck, they were brought by another train to Nevada.
