Death of Mrs. B. F. Shanholtzer
Mrs. B. F. Shanholtzer died Sunday night at St. Luke’s hospital, Denver, after having undergone an operation in hopes of saving her life. Up to within a few hours of her death, the doctors expressed hopes of her recovery, but on Sunday her condition became worse and her loved ones were hurriedly summoned to her bedside. With her when the last came were her husband, mother, father and brother.
Lillie May Sherwood was born in Union county, Iowa, on July 30, 1874. She moved with her parents to Taylor county the following year where she grew to womanhood and was married to B. Frank Shanholtzer on June 28, 1893 at her parents’ home near Clearfield. In the winter of 1902, she professed her faith in Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and through her many times of suffering expressed herself as so close to Him and He was her source of strength and comfort. In 1907 she came with her husband to Brush, Colo., where she has since resided, and where she was an earnest worker in the Methodist church. She died Sunday night between 9:00 and 10:00 o’clock at St. Luke’s hospital, Denver, aged 34 years, 6 months and 28 days.
During her short residence in Brush, Mrs. Shanholtzer had made hosts of friends who mourn her loss. She always had a cheering and helpful way, which despite the state of her health, made everyone with whom she came in contact feel that she was their friend.
The funeral services were held from the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, and a beautiful and touching tribute was paid to the departed by her pastor, the Rev. Seckner. The business houses were closed, and the church was crowded to pay their respect. The interment was made at the Brush cemetery.
Rev. Seckner paid tender tribute to the memory of the departed one, also comforting words from the text, “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” The singing was beautiful and appropriate, consisting of her favorite songs, “There’s a Stranger at the Door,” and “Face to Face.” A very large crowd of sympathetic friends were in attendance at the funeral. Services were concluded at the cemetery with a few words, leaving the sorrowing ones with the assurance that they would someday meet on the other shore where there will be no more weeping for “He shall wipe all the tears from their eyes.”—Clearfield Enterprise.
