MRS. ISAAC SHAEFFER, MRS. CYRUS MUTH

  Mrs. Isaac Shaeffer and Mrs. Cyrus Muth, living on neighboring farms, near 
the Halfway House, died on Sunday evening about the same time.  Mrs. Muth 
will be buried on Thursday and Mrs. Shaeffer on Friday morning at 9:30 
o'clock.  Both were estimable women and beloved by all who knew them.  Mrs. 
Shaeffer's death was due to typhoid fever.  During the winter the entire 
family, consisting of husband, wife and one daughter, were sick at the same 
time.  The husband and daughter recovered.  Mrs. Shaeffer was a daughter of 
the late Jacob Brubaker of South Lebanon.
  Morris E. Spannuth has been the farrier on Isaac Shaeffer's farm occupying 
the tenant house.  He advertised his sale of farm stock to take place today 
and accordingly the sale was held, although Mrs. Shaeffer is lying dead in 
the farm house.  The sale was held quietly and orderly, as it could not well 
be postponed.  It was an unusually large stock, 37 cows alone comprising 
part of it.
