Notes for William Henry SHAFER


Source: Letter written in 1930's by Eva V. Shafer Hunt. The information
regarding the place and date of his death is contained in Eva's letters.

I have been unable to obtain a death certificate for William. Aurilla's death
certificate indicates that she was removed to Van Buren, Michigan. I suspect
that she is buried beside her husband.
