KISOR, ELIZABETH - Elizabeth Kisor was born at Cold Water Springs, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1830, and departed this life August 21st, 1911.  Her earthly pilgrimage lasted 81 years, 5 months and 6 days.  When she was three years of age, her parents died and left her to the care of strangers.  She was then shifted from place to place until 12 years old, when she gained a permanent home, where she remained until her marriage to Joseph Shaffer, which occurred at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in October 1852.  The following month after their marriage, they came to Ohio, settling near Covington where they lived about eight years, then moved to the community where they spent their remaining years.  After an illness of only two days she heard the call, "Come ye blessed of my Father, and inherit the kingdom prepared for you," and answered the call just two years and two days after the husband and father was called to the spirit world.  She was a member of the Presbyterian church but not being fully satisfied united with the Christian church at Circle Hill.  She has left to mourn her loss four daughters, five sons, 13 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. 

                                                                             "We miss thee from our home, dear Mother,

                                                                              We miss thy earnest care

                                                                              Our home is dark without thee

                                                                              We miss thee every where." 

The children wish to thank the neighbors and friends for the kindness they showed during the death of their mother.
