GEORGE HENRY SHAFER
Was born in Cincinnati, December 24, 1836. He
belonged to the firm of Shafer & Ziegler, pork-packers. His
integrity and honesty settles upon his grave a monument grander than any
human hands can rear—a monument of a good name. He was generous to a
fault; no appeal for charity was ever made to him in vain. He died June
17, 1830.
HENRY SHAFER
WAS born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, December 6,
1804, and came to Cincinnati in 1820. He was one of the pioneer pork
merchants. Prudent and upright in all his business transactions, he is
remembered with respect and esteem by all who knew him. Be it said
to the credit of his memory, that throughout all his business career no
one has ever justly accused him of taking an unfair advantage, nor of
cheating any one out of a dollar. He died in Cincinnati, March 6, 1867.
REBECCA SHAFER
WIFE of Henry Shafer, was born in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, January 27, 1808; came to Cincinnati, with her parents, in
June, 1816. They were six weeks in coming in a wagon, there being no
steamboats, canals, no railroads then. She died in Cincinnati, October
31, 1875.
