The subject of this obituary was married (in Mass.) to Reuben C. Shaw on May 9, 1847. She departed from her earthly life January 25, 1904, at 3:15 o'clock a. m. Her age was 79 years, 4 months and 27 days. She was the mother of five children -- three sons and two daughters. The three sons and one daughter are yet living and present today and mourn in a sense as they never have before. In about 1849 she joined the M. E. church at Pleasant Hill. Some years later this church disbanded and the membership scattered. Mother Shaw did not put her membership with any denomination but always belonged to the great body of Christians of which Christ is the leader.
Note: Children: Walter C. m. Eliza J. Macy; Sylvera B. m. Hamilton L. Penery; Josephine W. m. Oliver H. Warren; Frank L. m. Emma Macy; and Frederick P. m. Ella C. Friar.
