  William Wesley Sheirer died at his home in Madley, Pa., on Wednesday, May 25, 
at 5:30 a.m.  He was the son of the late Benjamin and Rachel Wagerman Sheirer,

  Mr. Sheirer was in ill health for over a year and several weeks ago was

  In 1911 Mr. Sheirer was united in marriage with Anna Catherine Stuby.  To this 
union were born five children - Ethel, now Mrs. Raymond Hurley, of Buffalo 
Mills; Harvey, Blaine, Glenn and Billy, all at home.  These children, along with 
his wife, are left to mourn his death.
  Mr. Shearer was a prominent farmer of Bedford County and a true and loyal 
neighbor.
  He was laid to rest in the Madley Cemetery, Friday afternoon at 2:30, with 
funeral services in the Lutheran Church at Madley.
  Besides his wife and children, he is survived by two sisters and three 
brothers - Mrs. Eli Clites of Boynton, Mrs. Silas Clites of Buffalo Mills, Harry 
of Cresaptown, Md., Daniel of Hollsopple, and Samuel of Toronto, Ohio.  Two
