Mrs. Schafersman spent most of her life in Fontanelle, having attended the schools here when young. She was an estimable young woman, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Waterman. Last spring, she was married to Mr. Schafersman, the ceremony being performed in Arlington, and the young couple left for Stoneham, Colo., to make their home.

About five weeks ago Mrs. Schafersman underwent an operation for appendicitis in a Denver hospital. She was recovering, apparently, when she suffered a stroke of paralysis, which rendered her almost helpless. Her condition has been growing worse ever since. The close relatives besides the young husband are the parents and four brothers and four sisters. Mrs. Schafersman was born December 17, 1885.
