Alice Coale Shippers.

Mrs. Alice Coale Shippers, wife
of Capt. John G.. Shippers and ED.
est daughter of the late William
Coale, died in Baltimore on Thurs
day, July 20, aged 81 years. Mrs.
Shippers had been removed from
her home, near Colora, to a Balti-
more hospital for treatment and
her death came as surprise to the
people OF this section, where it was
not generally known that she was in
a precariOus condition.
Her funeral was held from the
home of her sister, Mrs. NJ. G.
Reynolds, on Saturday, 22nd inst,
at 2 p. M, with services at Friends
meeting house. Edwin r. Buffing
ton addressed the gathering and
spoke in a fitting manner of the
many virtues of the deceased, in
terspersing his remarks with an
appropriate selection from Ray
mond's beautiful poem "Christus
COnsolatOr.
Alice Coale Shippers was born in
the old brick mansion known as
Travellers Repose," short dis
lance south of Harrisville, Decem-
Der LIST, 1913. When only seven
teen years of age she commenced
to write poetry. She displayed
literary ability far above the aver
| age and has since that time con-
tributed both prose and verse to
the local press and other publ
cations, which wasalways welcomed
by the public. For one of her
prose articles, illustrative of the
principles and practices and exem-
plifying the social life of the
Friends, Mrs. Shippers received a
prize of 5000. Her writings of
recent years have been confined to
local correspondence and articles
on temperance and woman's suf-
frage topics.
Her husband survives her and
has been an invalid for several
years.
