Boyers Shaffer
Eleanor Boyers
Shaffer, daughter of Jacob and Lydia Boyers, was born near Tedrow, Ohio,
October 20, 1851. On July 16, 1911, she bid farewell to husband,
son, daughter and five grandchildren, also three brothers and three sisters
and a host of relatives and friends, at the ripening age of 59 years, 8
months, 16 days, for the spirit world to which father, mother, two brothers
and one sister had preceeded her. She confessed her faith in Christ
at the age of 16 under the preaching of Elder Frost and has been a devoted
follower of her Savior and servant of the church to the last hours of her
life here. Her mother and grand mother were charter members of the
same church. She was married to John J. Shaffer, January 27, 1871,
to this union were born two children, Vinnie and Ross Shaffer. She
was a devoted loving wife and mother, true to all her duties both in and
out of home. Her character was marked by her interest shown in others
in time of joy, sickness and sorrow. She was a mother in Israel to
the Daughters of Rebekah of which she was a member. She always shared
the fellowship of brother and sister as they have always lived near by.
To the five grand children she has given much thought and care. But
may it suffice to say, as the Father has spoke out of the cloud, " This
is my beloved Son, hear ye Him," so may the voice of mother speak from
His side to one and all "Hear ye Him."
The funeral was
held at the Tedrow Christian church conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Johnston,
assisted by Rev. Cordrey.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to
thank the Daughters of Rebekah and I.O.O.F., also friends and neighbors
for their great kindness in the sad hour of the loass of a wife and mother.

Freed from all

She has won the
heavenly crown passed beyond this earthly vision.
To the bright
eternal shore.
Done with all
the pain and sorrow all the weary waiting o'er.
Folded are the
hands so quiet on the cold and pulseless breast.
Hands that ever
were so busy now forever are at rest.
Closed, the eyes
no more to open on the dreariness on night
But they see
the face of Jesus in those realms of endless light.

LUCINDA
BORTON SHAFFER HAUGHTON
b. 5 Dec 1831
d. June 1927
(DAUGHTER OF ASA
& ELIZABETH HAZEN BORTON- WIFE OF MICHAEL SHAFFER)
Wauseon's oldest
citizen, Mrs. Lucinda Haughton, has passed on to her reward. She
was a fine Christian woman and gave a life of devotion to the community
in which she lived. She was interested in the affairs of her home
until the very last. In her advanced years her mind was young and
she was doing the things at hand that would be of service to others.
What she did was done quietly for she detested pomp and show of personal
merit.
In her loneliness
of later years she was given tender and loving care by Mrs. Bessie Kennelly
of Berea and Mrs. Blanche Skidmore who took her into their own homes during
the winter months that all the convenience and comforts might be hers.
The following
obituary was read at her funeral.
A mother in Israel
is dead. Long after those of her own generation were gone, she lived
on and retained the keenness of her mind and activity of body until this
last winter when she began to fail perceptibly and day by day the end drew
nearer until the earth pilgrimage ceased on June 25th, 1927. Her
desire to die in her own home was allowed and it was fitting that her body
should repose amidst furnishings she had cherished for many years.
Lucinda Borton,
daughter of Asa and Elizabeth Hazen Borton was born in Columbiana County,
Ohio, December 5, 1831, and came to Fulton County about the year 1847,
and with a few years of residence in Trumbull County, had since lived here.
On July 3, 1848, she was married to Michael Shaffer, and to this union
three children, two daughters and one son were born, all of whom are deceased.
This home was broken when her husband answered the call of his country
and became a soldier in the Union Army. Mr. Shaffer was wounded on
Aug. 18, 1864, and his body was buried in an unmarked grave unkown to this
day. His widow paid the price of the war and cared for her children
faithfully.
Mrs. Shaffer
remained in her widowhood until January 35, 1877, when she was married
to Henry A. Haughton, a Civil war veteran, and who preceded her in death
on Dec. 30, 1917.
Mrs. Haughton
was a member of the Wauseon Christian Church from about the time of its
founding in 1862 and during the period of the war taught a Sunday School
class. Her membership in the Christian church was faithfully continued
for four score years and her witnesbearing was continually effective.
It was appropriate that her body should be carried into the Wauseon Christian
Church on June 28th, for her funeral service, with Elder B.F.W. Pitman
of the Lyons Christian Church officiating in the absence of the Wauseon
paster. The body was interred in the Wauseon cemetery. Mrs. Haughton,
after an earth life of 95 years, 6 months and 19 days, in which she outlived
those of her immediate family is survived by six grandchildren, ten great
grandchildren, three great great grandchildren, two sisters, two step sons,
one step daughter. Several of these with many friends and neighbors
paid tribute to her memory in attending her funeral.
