Shank, Esq.; died very suddenly at her home in Singers Glen last Friday about 1 o'clock p.m. On the day previous she had an attack which quite probably was apoplexy, but had recovered and was at her work as usual when the death angel called her home. In early life she professed faith in Christ and united with the Lutheran church, and adorned her profession by a quiet, reserved, Christian life. She lived not for herself, but for others, willing to spend and be spent for the good she might do for those around her. She was a daughter of the late Josiah Beery, Esq., and in the 56th year of her age. Besides her husband and six children, all grown daughters, other relatives and friends mourn the loss of a true Christian friend--one whose life, in many respects, was worthy of imitation. Funeral service by Rev. W.R. Berry, at Singers Glen church and cemetery.
