P. SHIFFNER 1892 Sussex Agricultural Express - Saturday 06 February 1892 NEWICK DEATH OF MISS I. P. SHIFFNER. Our parish has just sustained a great loss in the death of this most charitable and self- denying lady. Miss Isabella P. Shiffner, who, although far advanced in years, had always enjoyed remarkably good health, was first taken unwell last Saturday week, when she was strictly ordered Mr. R. Gravely, her medical attendant, to keep to her bed. Since then she has been gradually growing weaker, and after having been unconscious for about two days, she passed peacefully away on Tuesday afternoon, at two o’clock. She would have been 93 years of age on the 27th of this month. Miss Shiffner will be greatly missed in this village. She was a devoted supporter of the church, was a liberal subscriber to all societies and movements whose objects were beneficial to the parish and, while she exercised a prudent discrimination in her almsgiving, she was especially mindful of the wants of the poor, and during the 32 years she had resided Ketches she had rendered useful assistance in the management of the charitable institutions of the parish.
