Mrs. Shaw was born in Glasgow, Scotland, fifty-nine years ago and came to Illinois with her parents when she was eight years of age. She was twice married and the mother of two children--a daughter by her first husband, preceding her mother to the Great Beyond. The second marriage was to Mr. John H. Shaw, of Chicago, with whom she lived very happily, their life of christian love and devotion terminating six years ago when Mr. Shaw was called to his eternal rest. To this union was born one son, Herbert Louis Shaw, of Palacios. She is survived by her son, three grandsons and two grand daughters. Mrs. Shaw came to Palacios about two years ago and her contagious cheerfulness, ready sympathy and helpfulness endeared her to all with whom she was associated. She was an active member in the Methodist church up to the very day of her final illness and her christian life was one of peace happiness and service, ever seeking to know better God's plan and being faithful in his service. "Be thou faithful unto death and God will give thee the crown of life."
