General Notes: Husband - Thomas J. Shaner

---

He was educated at the pub­lic schools of Apollo and in a commercial col­lege, where he took a comprehensive business course. Following this he became a clerk in a hardware and grocery store, where he re­mained until Jan. 1, 1904, when he was ap­pointed deputy sheriff under Erwin E. Cochrane. His three years of faithful service proved his worth, and three years later he was appointed to the same office by Sheriff Frick. For three years more he discharged the duties of this important office, and was the logical candidate of his party for sheriff in 1909, receiving a majority of 2,916, the largest ever given a nominee for this office.
He was a con­sistent member of the Baptist Church.
