GEORGE SHANNON

Mrs. H. W. Ramer's Father Dies Suddenly

  George Shannon of Watsontown, Pa., a hardware merchant of that place, and 
father of Mrs. H. W. Ramer, of Salisbury, was stricken by paralysis last Friday 
evening and died Sunday morning following.  His sudden death was a great shock 
to his family and the community in which he lived, where he was held in high 
esteem.  On the evening he was stricken, he had eaten his supper, then went to 
his store, returning a little later to his home, where he soon became 
unconscious while lying on a lounge.  He died the following Sunday morning 
without regaining consciousness.
  Mr. Shannon was aged 70 years, and is survived by his wife and two daughters, 
namely, Mrs. H. W. Ramer of Salisbury, and Mrs. Ethel McWilliams, of Watsontown.  
The Ramers received word of Mr. Shannon's illness soon after he was stricken, 
and left here for Watsontown, Friday night.  The funeral took place, Wednesday.
