    Obituary 7 Oct 1920  [20
    The Payne Reflector and Press Review (Payne, Ohio) 7 October 1920, p1 

    • Mrs. Lucinda Mythone Shelley, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mython, was born in Crawford county, Ohio, June 15, 1841, and in early girlhood moved to Paulding county with her parents, on what has been known as the Sol Quince farm, later her parents moved to the Meade farm, in Jackson township, Allen county, Ind. She resided here when, at the age of 16, in 1857, she was married to Francis Shelley, at Monroeville, Ind. She returned with her husband to live in Harrison township, Paulding county, when there were but three dwellings in the township. The Shelleys lived in Paulding county, either in or around Payne, until about eleven years ago, when they moved to near Cincinnati, O., later moving to Columbus Grove, O., and last March coming back to Payne, where they have since made their home with their daughter, Mrs. William Buerkle, where she died early Monday morning, October 4.
      Although Mrs. Shelley had been a great sufferer for many years and in feeble health, yet her death came as a great surprise to her many friends, for on October 3rd she, in company with her husband and daughter, drove to Dixon, O., to visit her sister and family, and thoroughly enjoyed the day, apparently suffering but little fatigue.
      Mrs. Shelley was a true pioneer in every sense of the word -a truly industrious, courageous, loving Christian wife and mother and a truly generous, helpful neighbor.
      The Shelley family consisted of the aged parents and four children Mrs. Mary Jane Buerkle of Payne, Joseph Shelley of Washington, Ind., Mrs. Clara White of Milan, Mich., and Mrs. Adaline Peterson of Bronson, Mich. The death of the mother is the break in the family circle. The decedent is survived by her three sisters, Mrs. Etta Suttor of Van Lew, O., Mrs. Levinn Solway of Dixon, O., and Mrs. Adaline Uhlenhago of Ft. Wayne, also 26 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. She was a faithful member of the U. B. church, but when living near Cincinnati, owing to the fact that there was no U. B. church there, she worshipped in the M. E. church, but on coming to Columbus Grove she again took up her worship in the church of her choice, the United Brethren.
      Her funeral was held on Wednesday at 2 p. m., in the M. E. church. Her pastor, Rev. J. W. Shock, of Columbus Grove, O. officiated, and interment was made in the Lehman cemetery.
      The pall-bearers, six grandsons, were Carl, Oscar, Frank, Fred and Henry Buerkle, and D. E. White.
      Those from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Fred White and son Robert and D. E. White of Milan, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Peterson, of Brunson, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Buerkle, of Antwerp, Mrs. John Turner , of Jackson, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Uhlenlage, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Venosdale, Mrs. Wm. Cowell, Mr. and Mrs. Venosdale, Misses Helen and Hazel Sheefel, all of Ft. Wayne; Mr. and Mrs. James Solway, of Dixon, O., Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Buerkle and son, of Continental, O., and Fred Buerkle, of Columbus Grove., O.
