Mr. Shurte was married to Sarah E. Greisell on March 28th, 1880, to which union three sons and one daughter were born, all of which together with mother live to mourn the loss of a Christian father and husband. Also he leaves in sorrow a widowed mother, three sisters, one brother and may other relatives.
Dear Frank has been taken from us
By this Angel of Death.
"I am ready to go," he answered
With his dying breath.
His suffering now are over.
No pain does he know.
He was washed by the blood of Jesus --
Whiter than snow.
Now with Beckoning hands
He bids us come
To join the heavenly throng
In the eternal home.
S.L.S.
