MRS. W.F. SHOEMAKER

Appleton City Journal
4 January 1894
Mrs. W.F. Shoemaker died on Thursday night of last week of consumption and was buried Saturday in the Harmony cemetery, the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Murphy. Mrs. Shoemaker suffered long and patiently, she trusted in Him who can make a dying bed feel soft as downy pillows are. To the bereaved husband, children and relatives we extend our condolence in this their sad affliction praying that God in his infinite goodness and mercy will throw his mantle of protection around the little ones who so early in life are deprived of the balmy influence of a mother's love.
