Mrs. Sarah Shorter died at her home
Saturday afternoon, Sept. 18th, of
consumption, after an illness of ten
months. Death came quietly, and
slowly, and for the last week alt knew
that er hours were numbered, and no
human power could do, aught to in
crease the span. Her devoted hus-
band and family did everything pos
sib1e for her relief, but the dread des-
troyer had planted too firmly the seeds
of disease, beyond the power of medi-
cal skill to thwart.
When it was seen that no relief was
given by remaining in Shelton, Mrs.
Shorter was taken to Denyer, Color
ado; but three months in that climate
showed no improvement, and the
family returned to Shelton, to watch
the wife and mother pass away, try
ing to make her hours as easy as pos
sib1e.
Sarah Clearwater was born in FL
mira, New York, April 81, 1860, and
was married to William Shorter in
October, 1877. After spending several
years in Michigan, in 'S7 the family
came to Shelton, and has since resided
here, Mr.. Shorter engaging in mer-
chandising and as engineer on the
Satsop Railroad. She leaves devot-
ed husband and two daughters, Ella
aud Maude, grown to young woman
hood, who have the sympathy OF the
community in their bereavement.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon, Rev. Frank Webster con-
Quoting the services at the home, as
sisted by the choir. The Rebekahs, of
which Mrs. Shorter was member,
attended the funeral in a body, and
also the Woodmen, and Odd Fellow
fraternities, in both of which Mr..
Shorter is a member, the latter march
ing to the cemetery, where Mrs. Shor-
ter was buried beside the grave of her
infant son, Bennett who died several
years ago.
The services at the grave were brief
but impressive, and the large attend
ance present could but realize that the
span between life and death is very
brief and brittle. The funeral pro-
cession was perhaps the largest held
in Shelton.

A Suggestion.

A few weeks ago noticed call II
the JOURNAL for a NEE ling to organize
a society of the children of the pic
neers in this county. Also that the
meeting was held and the society or
ganized. This consider very 1aud.
able society, with good object before
lit,-of gathering and preserving the
early history of the county. The pic.
neers are now chiefly aged persons,
accustomed to hard work but not much
accustomed to the use of the pen.
Their children can now easily obtain
from them items of interest in regard
to our early history but in few years
it will be too late, as they will soon
have passed away.
l wish however to make suggestion
in regard to the meeting. I noticed
that the one for the organization was
held the Sabbath, and my suggestion
is that it be held On some other day.
/ know that in this county there is a
great difference of opinion in regard
to the way of spending that day, some
spending it in picnics, visiting, base
ball, travelling, working and the like,
while others prefer the church and
Sabbath school. I do not care now to
discuss which of these ways Is right
but simply to state the fact that some
OF the native children of the country
tor conscience sake believe that the
day ought to be kept holy and will not
join society which holds it's meetings
on the Sabbath. Perhaps many will
think them to particular, but still the
fact remains that they feel thus.
Hence for their sakes, would it not be
well to hold these meetings on day
when all can attend, without violating
consciences. True, they may not be
any better than those who are willing
to spend the Sabbath at these pioneer
meetings and some may think them
not so good, still they might like to
to join, and if so, would it not be we'll
to hold the meetings so that they can
attend.

Pioneer Society for nearly twenty
years,-was honored as being one of
three on the Committee to represent
