Date of death: February 3, 1888 (note, tombstone has the wrong year of death)
Son of Noah Shisler and Christiana Rugh. He grew up in Putnam County and Williams County, Ohio and later moved to Solon, Leelanau County, Michigan. He and his brother Jesse lived in Long Lake township for a while in 1882. He was raised Merino sheep and served as Sunday School superintendent.
Solomon was married on December 26, 1883 in Long Lake township to Luzena Reese. "A very pleasant wedding occurred in our neighborhood on last Wednesday eve. The contracting parties being Solomon Shisler and Miss Luzena Reece of Indiana. It was a quiet affair, only a few of the relatives being present when the ceremony was performed. Rev. John Cook officiated. We extend our congratulations through the old reliable HERALD, and also express our thanks for a portion of the wedding cake."
Luzena died in 1886 and Solomon was in poor health afterward, suffering from consumption. He died in 1888:
Solomon Shisler died at his home in Cedar Run last week after a long and painful. The community was somewhat shocked to hear of his death, for he had been thought to be getting better. But death came and relieved the sufferer from all his pain and trouble. The deceased was well known here, and much beloved by all who knew him. He was a Godly man, walking in all of the ordinances of the Lord blameless, and went down to his grave trusting in God. The funeral services were held at Cedar Run school house on Sunday last at the morning service and his remains were placed besides those of his wife in Long Lake cemetery. He leaves numerous friends and relatives to mourn his untimely death. His friends and neighbors were very kind during his sickness. Although they may not be repaid in this world, they will reap the reward to the next. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Vaudrey of Old Mission, Miss Bertie Davis, half sister, and a brother Jesse Shisler, who was not present and whose whereabouts are unknown. May they put their whole trust in God, and some day meet loved ones and clasp hands on the far banks of Jordan (Grand Traverse Herald, February 9, 1888).
