George Earl Shaefer was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Shaefer, and was born July 31, 1891, southwest of Centralia, Kansas. He departed this life May 18, 1934, at Medina, New York, at the age of 42 years, 9 months and 18 days.
He completed the grade school near Centralia and graduated from the Centralia high school with the class of 1910. He then attended business college in Grand Island, Nebraska, going from there to Pueblo, Colo., to work for the Light and Power Co.
In 1918 he joined into the service of his country, serving in the 89th division. He served 15 months, the most of the time being overseas. Following his discharge from the army he went to Medina, N.Y., and was employed by the A.L. Sweat Iron Co., until the time of his death.
As a lad of about 13, he united with the Methodist church near Centralia, known as the Eureka church. He has gone to join the Church Triumphant.
He was a member of the Masonic lodge No. 336 of Medina, N.Y., and a member of the Rotarians, serving at one time as president, and very active in the membership.
He leaves to mourn his earthly departure, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Shaefer, Centralia; three sisters, Mrs. Edwin Tinker, Twin Falls, Idaho; Mrs. Richard Lohmuller, Cedar, Kan.; and Mrs. Raymond Blair, Centralia, Kansas; 3 nieces and two nephews, and many other relatives and friends.
George made many trips to his parents' home in Centralia. The last trip was slightly more than a year ago when he was here for a few months. During his visits here those who came to know him best could see many features of his life and and splendid character.
He was unusually thoughtful in many details that went together to make his loved ones happier. It was this thoughtfulness to his family, his friendly pleasant manners and his consideration of others that attracted the attention of his many acquaintances. When his name is mentioned only words of highest regards return to the ear of the hearers.
The funeral was held Thursday at the M.E. church conducted by Rev. C. L. Harder. Interment in the Centralia cemetery.
