Shalley - Geroge
Source: Clipping pasted into a Siegel Cooper Company Fall & Winter Catalogue 1906 + by Cloe Collings Myers (of Parke County) thanks to Harriet Weatherford for sharing this:
George W, son of William and Lavinia Shalley was born March 14, 1843 and died at his home near Hollandsburg, ind March 24, 1912, age 69 years. He was married to Susan E. Tinsley, Sept 10, 1868. To this union four children were born: William T, Lue Thena, Zella May and Omer, who died at age 2 yeaers and who with his mother, have passed on before. He enlisted as a private soldier in Battery Co. 8th Ind Volunteers, NOv 20, 1861 and was honorably discharged Jan 25, 1865. He united with the Christian Church at Parkeville, Ind Aug 10, 1881 and was a firm believer of the doctrine taught and was an elder of that church many years. He was again united in marriage to Martha E. Kinsery oct 20, 1904. Only a few days ago he talked to his faithful wife and told her that he felt his time was short but that he was ready and willing to go. He was sad to think of leaving her alone, but felt that his children would help her. Thus closes a useful life. He leaves to mourn his departure a wife, three children, two grandchildren, two brothers, and host of relatives and friends. And while he will be missed in the church, in the home and in the neighborhood, yet we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. --kbz
