Lies At Lehman
Death Releases Her
Sunday Morning
Mrs. R. Bruce Shaver, 73, highly
esteemed Idetown woman, was
buried Wednesday afternoon in
Lehman Cemetery. Rev. Frank Ab-
bott and Rev. William Heapps con-
ducted funeral services from the
home in Idetown.
Mrs. Shaver was released from
suffering Sunday moming. She had
been increasingly ill for eight
months, successive surgery during
the past twelve years, proving of no
lasting value. It was Mrs. Shaver's
heartfelt desire that she be allowed
to live out her days at home, and
not be sent to a hospital. Mrs.
Dean Shaver, her son’s wife, cared
for her.
She was the former Elizabeth
Parrish, daughter of the late Victor
and Ann Tannery Parrish of Beau-
mont. Mrs. Parrish died as a young
woman. There were several chil-
dren, some of whom did not sur-
vive infancy. Her father was a car-
Mrs. Shaver, upon marriage to
her husband, left Beaumont to make
her home in Lehman, and shortly
thereafter to Idetown, where the
couple lived for the past forty years.
Mrs. Shaver taught the primary
class in Idetown Methodist Church
Sunday School until two years ago.
She was a member of the WSCS
and Serving and Waiting Class, in
which she served as treasurer. She
belonged to Order of the Eastern
Star, the WCTU, and was active in
community affairs. Her delight,
especially since illness narrowed her
horizon, was the culture of African
violets. Thirty of her prize plants
were in bloom for her funeral.
She is survived by her husband,
a prominent well-driller of the area;
a son, Dean, at home; one grand-
daughter; two sisters and a brother,
Frank Parrish and Mrs. Lena Ra-
bert, Forty Fort; and Mrs. Edith
Hobbs, Manchester, Conn.
Pallbearers were Jesse Boice, Gil-
bert Husted, Howard Boice, Harold
Cragle, Harold Donnelly and How-
ard Reilly.
Arrangements by Alfred Bronson.
