Mrs. Shaw was the J widow of Mr. Rodrick Shaw, , whose death occurred several years ago. Mr. Shaw was an in- ; valid for nine years before his death. Mrs. Shaw had a stroke of 1 paralysis six years ago, then the . second stroke four years ago, i and has boon f?ntirf?lv for these four years. Mrs. Shaw had lived in this community since early girlhood, and was eighty-seven years of age. By j her unusual generosity, kindness of heart, ard Self-sacrificing ser- : vices to others, especially in the 1 hours of sickness or sorrow, she had entwined herself around the hearts of the whole community. By her death we have lost a lov- 1 ing mother and a faithful friend. , Tho it grieves us sorely to give j her up, we have the consolation < of knowing she was perfectly resigned to the Lords will. Mrs. 1 Shaw had been a true and loyal member of Hebron Methodist church for several years. She was the mother of ten children. , Only four survive her, Mrs. Jennie Wicker, of Pine Hurst, N.
