Death of Ena Burbery Shay
The quiet passing of Mrs. Ena Shay just at night fall on Wednesday, August 4, was a fitting climax to the life of peace that she had lived for forty-seven years. For weeks her family had realized that her days on earth were numbered but did not think that the dissolution was so near. After supper on that day she experienced a sinking spell and signified a wish to go outside. Her mother helped her to a chair in the open air and there, with scarcely a sigh or struggle, she passed peacefully away. She had not at any time been confined to her bed, but was up and about the house all the time.
Mrs. Shay was the only daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Burbery, and as Ena Burbery she was known and beloved by all in the community in the years gone by. She was born in Syston, Leicestershire, England, on December 30, 1868. She was just past a year old when she was brought by her parents to America, and soon afterward to Seneca. Here she attended school and grew into a sweet young womanhood. As a girl she was particularly bright and winsome, and the friendships formed in those days have endured through all the intervening years and held for her the friends of many years. She was twice married. Her first husband was Harry Trout, to whom she was married while quite young. Kansas City was their home for years. There Mr. Trout passed away a number of years ago, a victim of tuberculosis. His widow went west and a few years ago was married to Frank Shay. Portland, Oregon was their home. It has been two years since the first signs of tuberculosis began to make themselves manifest and for months Mrs. Shay fought bravely against the inroads of the disease. Gradually she realized the end could not be far away and home and mother was her first thought. Early in March she made the long trip home and has since been tenderly cared for by her mother, who has given her the love and solitude that is not surpassed by mortals. Night brought no respite from suffering for the invalid, and through the long weary watches the mother was with her, and to the very last the love that first greeted her as a babe made easy and comfortable the path to the grave. The sudden death of Mr. Shay a few weeks ago at Portland brought sorrow that in her feeble condition was almost more than she could bear, but the time of waiting was not long and she has gone to join him in the house not made with hands.
Friday afternoon many friends gathered at the Burbery home to drop a tear of sympathy with the family and pay their respects to the memory of the whom they loved in life. Rev. McMurray conducted the service and members of the Congregational choir sang sweetly. All that was mortal of Ena Burbery Shay was laid to rest by the side of her father in the family lot in the city cemetery. Besides the mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Burbery, she is survived by two brothers, Will and Thomas Burbery, both of Seneca.
