NILES h0lcu IL. 0aOAAt oA
woman of Shepherdstown, entered IN
to rest Tuesday morning after an Ill
ness of about ten days from the grip
and gastric trouble. In her death
good Christian woman has passed
away, for she was among those who
are pure in heart. For ffty-twc
years she was member Of the Luth'
eran Church, and 40 one could have
been more faithful to duty than she
ha. always been. In fair or stormy
weather she was ever in her place in
church and Sunday school, and by
precept and example she taught the
gospel she professed. No harmful
word passed her lips, no unkind
thought found Judgment in her heart,
Ever ready to do a kindly or helpful
deed, with meekness and sincerity she
served her Master, and surely her re-
ward will be great. Of untalling
cheerfulness, with quaint humor and
many loyable traits, she will be gen
timely missed. Miss Shell was 60
yea. Of age, and che died in the house
in which she was born and WHARF all
her life was spent. Her father, John N
Shell, also lived there all his life. as

two hundred years ago by john Mich
olas Shell, one of the first settlers Ia

occupied by the same family ever
since. 1t is said to have been con-
structed Of logs cut from the site
where it was built. The only sur
wing member of the family of John
N. Shell is q half brother, John Shell,
of this county. The funeral of the de.
ceased will be held in the Lutheran
Church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
and she will be buried in the family
