Mrs J.D. Staples died Thursday at Daughter's Home
Mrs Shuah H. Staples, widow of Joseph D. Staples one of the best known among the older residents of this city, died Thursday at the home of her daughter Mrs. Bertha S. Webber Stoneham, Mass.
Mrs. Staples was born in Kennebunk daughter of Horace and Ann (Jordan) Chappell. Her age was 88 years, four months and 18 days.
She was a member of the Rebecca Emery chapter Daughters of the America Revolution and held offices in the chapter, taking an active interest in activities of the chapter for many years. For over 60 years she was a member of the Jefferson street free baptist church and of the united baptist church.

Even in late years when she was unable to get about herself she arranged to bring aid and cheer to others.
