• Notes

  The obituary below mentions 7 children. Did she have one more child after G.W. died, or was that a typo? Obituary from the Vinton Eagle, April 12, 1871: Died, on Monday night, 10th inst., Mrs. Shaffer, who leaves a family of seven children, the oldest of whom is about sixteen. Mrs. S. was a widow, in her fortieth year, a member of the M.E. Church. The funeral took place at 3 PM from the M.E. Church. Rev. G.W. Brindell preached the sermon.
