Attica NY News - 11/17/1961

On Thursday, November 16, 19
61, Harriet Shornstein, aged 89
left us. For fifty three years she
live in this little village, known
and loved by everyone. In so
many ways her influence was
felt by her fellow townsmen.
We admired her taste in the hats
she purchased for her hat store,
and few Castile women ever bou-
ght elsewhere
We envied her skilll in growing
fowers and thankfully received
her counsel about their care. Her
secret? Once she said, when press
ed for the reason of unfailing
success. "I always do everything
as well as I can, eve to the weed
ing of a flower bed."
We recognized her business ab-
iiity in managing and remodeling
her umerou apartment houses.
She was the first to start making
old houses into apartments and it
was predicted that she would fail
but she didn't and continued to
manage them up to the time of
her death.
Time and again she refused to
to give in to sickness and ill heal-
th. And in spite of many offers
of help from a devoted son and
many friends, she tried to, and
did shoulder her burdens alone.
Her gallant soul and indomit-
able spirit rode triumplant over
all obstacles.
Yes, she will be missed, for we
have thru the years gained in-
spiration and curage thru her
example. May her soul rest in
peace.
