SIGOURNEY DEANE SHIFFLETT
About 6 o'clock Feb 28, 1934, Mrs. Sigourney Shifflett of Newport News, passed peacefully away at her home. Mrs. Shifflett was the widow of G.W. Shifflett who preceded her to the grave three years ago. These people formerly lived at Lydia and later acquired a wanderlust and lived near Charlottesville, Bedford and Gordonsville, finally going to Florida, where Mr. Shifflett died. They were good people and very much missed in our community when they left. They took quite an interest in the church, schools and civic areas of the community and this writer still feels a great sympathy for the bereaved children who were once her pupils in school. Mrs. Shifflett was born 3, April 1864, near Swift Run. Her parents were Morgan and Susan Deane. Mrs. Shifflett is survived by two brothers, Snell and Daniel Deane of Elkton, and two sisters Mrs. Wesley Meadows of McMullan and Mrs. Kell Eppard of Elkton. Seven children were born to their union, one dying in infancy. Surviving are Harvey L. Shifflett and Elmer T. Shifflett of Detroit Mich; Herman W. Shifflett of Altoons Pa.; Mrs. Virginia Callahan of Lynchburg and Mrs. Maysie P. Freeman and Mrs. Violette Eldred of Newport News who was living with her mother at the time of her death. A nice letter from the oldest son, Harvey L., was appreciated very much in which he described the passing away of his mother. He said she had suffered a paralytic stroke only a few hours preceding her death, which was quite a shock to these children, all so scattered and far away that none could be with her except Violette and Maysie. May they all so live that when called away from this earthly habitation, they may meet mother in a better land free from all sorrow and pain. Mrs. Shiflett was a good kind wife and mother and was beloved by all who knew her. Mrs. Shiflett was buried by the side of her husband in Woodson Cemetery, Stanardsville. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Raleigh W. Burnett March 3 in Stanardsville Methodist Church. All her children and in-laws were present to pay their token to mother.
