ELIZABETH SHUPE
Fonthill News
[Welland Tribune, 23 July 1897]
We record this week the departure of one of our old residents of Fonthill- Mrs. Shupe, relict of the late Ephraim Shupe who died about a year ago. Mrs. Shupe passed away on Thursday, July 15th, at the residence of Geo. Gamble, in her 74th year. Deceased was only sick about a week, and seemed to gradually weaken from the first. She was born in Reamstown, Penn., Jan., 1824, and came to Waterloo county, Ontario, to live when about 15 years old, remaining there until coming to Fonthill in 1871-where she has remained ever since. She is survived by a family of twelve children-five daughters and seven sons. The funeral took place on Saturday, services conducted by Rev. Jacob Howe of United Brethren church, Stevensville, Ont., assisted by Rev. A.E. De St. Dalmas. Service at the house, thence to the Baptist church for preaching; interment in Fonthill cemetery. Deceased was a member of the United Brethren church for many years. Of her it may fittingly be said, “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
