DIED
Died at 2 o'clock, Sunday, July 18, 1897--Miss Mabel Shockley, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clem Shockley, who resided on Ninth street. Aged 29 years, six months and 18 days.
For over five years Miss Shockley has suffered with lingering consumption and serious stomach trouble. She was the possessor of a strong ambition to live and this alone is thought to have rallied her when death was so close at hand previous to Sunday, even over a year ago. While she loved life she was not afraid to die for the reward of a pure and exemplary life was in waiting. Highly esteemed and beloved on all sides her death brings sorrow to many. She was ever cheerful, kind and gentle.
She was born January 1, 1868 and has always resided here. She leaves two brothers beside the parents.
The funeral took place this morning at 9:30 o'clock from St. Mary's Catholic church, of which she was a member. Rev. Fr. Cullinane will officiate. Interment in Silver Brook cemetery.
