Mrs. Mary A. Shoenfelt,

Wife of Andrew Shoenfelt, died at the residence of her husband, 54 
Fourth avenue, at 4:15 o'clock this morning, of cancer.  The deceased 
was born April 24, 1829, at Salem, near Elizabeth Furnace. She was 
married to Andrew Shoenfelt, April 13, 1857, and is the mother of six 
children: five sons, Geo. of Fostoria, Samuel and Charles of this city, 
William in California, and Lloyd, in the west, and one daughter - Mrs. 
Clara Smith, of this place.  She was a member of the Salem Lutheran 
church and was a consistent Christian, bearing the pain caused by the 
dread disease from which she died during four years without complaint 
and with exemplary patience and resignation.  Owing to the absence of 
Mr. Shoenfelt, the funeral arrangements have not yet been completed and 
will be announced later.
