partial obituary of Susan Stansbury Shane, Hiram's wife.

...death been a continuous member of this one church for a period of 59 years, or a longer time than any other living member. The lots on which the M.E. Church stands were donated by her husband, who was present and took part in the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the present structure.
She was a member of and the oldest settler on the Old Settler's Association and a prime mover in the organization of this society, in the annual meetings of which she took a deep interest. The easy chair presented to her by the Association a few years ago is now in the possession of Miss Cora caldwell, a granddatughter, who was with her and helped care for her during her last illness.
For fifty-one years and six months the farm northeast of town was her home but about seven years ago she moved to Brimfield where, with her yoiungest dayghter, Miss Lula Shane, she has since resided. During the years she has been an invlaid she had been tenderly and devotedly cared for by this daughter, who has been constantly by her side, anticipating her every wish.
Out of a family of nine children but two brothers survive her: Thomas Stansbury, of Canton, and Wm. Stansbury, of Brimfield. From a vast prairie wilderness she lived to see this land subdued, brought to the height of cultivation and made to blossom as the rose. During her long life she noted these changes that were being wrought and many a happy hour has been spent by the younger generation in listening to the tales of early pioneer days as told by Grandma Shane.
The funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, at the M.E. Church, conducted by the pastor, I.W. Donning, assisted by Revs. Jordan and Cox. The floral tributes were very beautiful and appropriate in design. The church was filled to the doors, all the children and many grandchildren being in attendance, together with a large number of other relatives and friends. The remains were tenderly lais away in the Brimfield Cemetery, by the side of those of her beloved companion, who had preceded her to the other shore.
