General Notes: Husband - Wilbur De Hass Shaffer

---

He was born in Woodcock township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, one mile south of the borough, on his father's farm. He was educated in the district schools of his native township, and then learned the carpenter's trade under the supervision of his father. He was engaged in this line of business for more than a quarter of a century, then branched into the lumbering business, from that to the construction of mills and houses, and finally general contracting work, in which he was eminently successful. He was engaged in this last in Woodcock township from 1881 until 1901. On April 1, of the last mentioned year, he came to Meadville, and there took charge of the Harper Lumber Company's yards for a period of five years. Two years were then spent in operating a saw mill independently at Salisbury, then another five years with the Harper Lumber Company, after which he again engaged in business for himself under the name of W. D. Shaffer. He bought and sold all kinds of wood, converting it into lumber, and also manufactured laths, railroad ties, pit posts, etc. His office was located at No. 343 North street, Meadville. He was independent in his political views. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, served as superintendent of the Sunday school from 1886 until 1901, and was one of the trustees of the church. He was a member of the Crawford Lodge, No. 249, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
