Death of Cyrus Shore
Posted by: Deborah Brownfield - Stanley (ID *****1616) Date: April 23, 2005 at 22:29:55
  of 38284


The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, December 24, 1908

The venerable CYRUS SHORE, of Pleasant Township, died on Monday, after a
lingering illness with a complication of ailments, the immediate cause of
his death being cancer of the stomach.

He was one of the earlier settlers in the county and had reached the age of
almost 75 years. His life was exemplary and his natural goodness of heart
and righteous manner of living had won for him the esteem and friendship of
all with whom he had come in contact, thus in death he will be sadly missed


He is survived by a son and two daughters, besides his wife. SHERMAN SHORE
is his son and the daughters reside at Savannah, Ill. Funeral services were
held at the Zion Church on Wednesday.

census information:

June 20, 1900 Pleasant Township, Lucas County, Iowa

Cyrus Shore, head, born December 1833, age 66, married 14 years, born in Pennsylvania, both parents born in Pennsylvania, farmer

Susan Shore, wife, born March 1848, age 52, married 14 years, six children, four living, born in Pennsylvania, both parents born in Germany.

Believe Susan was his second wife, his son Sherman for the 1900 census shows mother born in Ohio.

1880 Census York, Carroll County, Illinois

The wife of Cyrus is Mary Shore, born 1842, age 38, born in Ohio, parents born in Pennsylvania. They have one daughter listed, Ida Mae or Ida May, born in Iowa. Must have gone back and forth from Illinois and Iowa? Had a family with the surname Grim or Grimm living with them. Perhaps Mary's side of the family?
