Death of Mrs. George Shorter.

News of the death of Susie Shorter
last Saturday morning came as shock
to the friends in Shelton, the last re-
ports having been favorable. Mrs.
Shorter was taken to the Seattle Gen
eral Hospital on the 18th, for an opera
ton for the removal of a fibroid tumor.
The operation in itself was successful,
and the results demonstrated that her
life would have been very short had
not the operation taken place. How
ever, the shock was too great for her
weakened system, aud she died of
heart failure two days following, in
spite of the best attention and medical
aid
The remains were brought to Shelton
on Monday evening and the funeral
took place from the home of William
Shorter at o'clock Tuesday. Rev. F.
A. Gregory conducted the services, as
sisted by choir, and the simple and
impressive burial service of the Degree
of Rebekah of which the deceased was
a member was rendered, closing at the
grave. Besides the members of Re-
bekah, Odd Fellow and Woodmen
lodges. many friends paid their last
respects to the memory of the depart
ed one. The, remains were inferred in
the burial lot beside those of her for
mer husband and her daughter. Lilies
and flowers were generously provided
considering the season.
Mrs, Susie Shorter was native of
Lincoln, Maine, and 40 years of age.
She was married to Alden Hutchinson
in her native state and came to Mason
County about ten years ago, with her
husband and daughter. Mr.. Hutchin-
son died about seven years ago, and
she was married to George Shorter,
Dec. %, 1894. August 18th last, her
daughter May, 10 years of age, died
after lingering illness, and now she
has gone, leaving devoted husband
bereaved and alone. Mr.. Shorter has
been ceaseless in his ministrations to
his sick ones, and receives the SYM
pathy of the whole community in his
affection.
