• Notes

  The Edelstein community was thrown into grief early last Sunday evening when it became known that death had taken one of its most loved residents, Miss mary Shane, from its midst with appalling suddenness. It was known that Miss Shane was in a precarious state of health, as she had been near death from a severe attack of acute indigestion two weeks previous, but it was hoped she would soon recover. She was able to attend the Edelstein homecoming a week following this illness and had attended the anniversary reception for Mr. and Mrs. John Vars Sunday. She was seemingly as well as usual when she had left for home in the late afternoon, turing to wave and say, "goodbye, everybody," as she went out the door only to be striken with a heart attack almost immediately upon arriving home, and passed away within a few minutes. "Matties," as she was familiarly known, was a vlaued member of the household of her niece, Mrs. Oscar Hensel, and family who live a short north pf Edelstein, and was dearly loved by the Hensel children, martha Ann and John, and showered them with devoted care in return. To this family the deepest sympathy of the community is extended. While Miss Shane will be greatly missed in the home, her death is leaving a place in the Edelstein Congregational Church circle that only her memory can fill. She was an earnest and willing worker, capable in any office given her, and her true Christian spirit and love for her bible made her an inspiration to others. She held the office of president of the ladies Aid Society of that church for several years and was chaplain of the society at her death. She had also been a beloved superintendent of the church school the past five years and teacher of the bible class. It was there her greatest work was done, as it was her one ambition to make the church school one of the best, and only serious illness prevented her regular attendance. She was looking forward to resuming her duties next Sunday. Two days before her death she observed her 55th birthday anniversary and was remembered with cards of greeting from members of the school, for which a card of appreciation from her was read at the session last Sunday morning. Miss Shane was the youngest daughter of the late james and MArtha Shane and spent her entire kife in the Hallock Township except a few years she and her mother lived in Chillicothe following the death of her father. Upon the death of her mother she came to make her home with a niece, who had been reared in her grandparents home from a small child when her own mother, Mrs. Lydia Shane Potter, died. Miss Shane leaves one sister, Mrs. Anna Brooks of Currie, Minn.; six brothers, David of Lawn Ridge, Charles of Mossville, Ben of Pipestone, Minn.; Joseph of Dunlap, Eugene of Chillicothe, and Ensley. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and more distant relatives and a multitude of friends. Funeral services were held in the church she loved Wednesday afternoon and she was laid to rest beside her parents in Prospect Cemetery near Dunlap.
