Dorothy Mary Louise Davis Shafer, daughter of Roy C. Davis, deceased, and Nellie Ruth Davis Colvin was born April 16, 1916 at Dayton, Ohio, departed this life in the home of her father and mother-in-law at New Carlisle, Ohio, February 28, 1938, aged 21 years, 10 months and 15 days.  Her father preceded her to the Spirit world 13 years ago. 

On November 16, 1933 she was united in marriage to Mr. Donald Shafer of near Piqua, Ohio.  She was converted five years ago, becoming a member of the Church of God at Urbana, Ohio.  Her young life was fully given over into the hands of God, and her chief joy was working for the upbuilding of the kingdom of God among the young people.  God had blessed her with a beautiful voice, and before being overtaken with sickness two years ago, she rendered valuable service to God and the church by singing the gospel story.  Most of the time for the past two years she has been confined to her home on account of illness.  Though her suffering at times was almost beyond human endurance, yet her faith in God brought her to relief and comfort.  Her patience and kindness during her illness was most beautiful.  She was a faithful little wife and will be greatly missed by the lonely husband. 

Funeral services for Mrs. Dorothy Shafer will be held Friday afternoon with brief services at the house at 1:30 o'clock followed by services at 2:00 o'clock at Glen Haven Chapel on State Route 40, two miles southeast of New Carlisle.
