OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mamie Shaw, wife of Samuel
Shaw and daughter of Thomas L..
and Mary Ann Lupher, was born in
Sugar Creek Twp, VinangO Co. Pa,
May 18th, 1850 and died at LaHarpe
Allen Co., Kansas, May 26, 1897, aged
Al years and 8 days. She was mar
ried at Dewitt, Nebraska, Sept. 1,
1881. She leaves five children in the
care of her husband Emmett, Maud,
Myrtle, Forest and Floyd. About
1857 her parents emigrated to Alais,
Mercer county ILL.,, where she grew
to womanhOod. About 1876 they
moved to Dewitt, Saline county,
Neb., where she became acquainted
with Mr.. Shaw and was married
Sept. l, 1881. They moved to York
town, Page county, Iowa, where by
economy and industry they became
established in a good home being sur
rounded by many attractions, all of
their own planning, and having form
ed large circle of warm friends by
fourteen years residence. In 1895 a
favorable opportunity came to sell at
good figures with view of lettering
themselves by coming to Kansas and
in 1896 they bought a farm one mile
north of LaHarpe. Soon it became
evident that she was afflicted with
carcinoma of the stomach for which
they tried the best of remedies avail
able, but to no purpose. Slowly but
surely the activities and ambition of
once energetic and vigorous constitu-
tion were overcome by disease until
about two months ago she became
confined to her bed, with more suf-
fering came greater prostration until
the morning of May %, when suffer-
ing was changed for a crown of life.
Her husband, sister, Mrs. Cora Baker
and many good Deighbors did all
mortal aid could do to make her
comfortable. She was converted at
about Is years of age and united with
the Nj. f. Church and at her mar
rage united with her husband with
the Presbyterian church. She gave
clear and positive evidence of her ac-
ceptance with God during her attic
ton.
The funeral took place May q, at
LaHarpe in charge of Rev. c. H
Granny, pastor of the NJ. Z. church. |

A. Barnhart. from west of the river,
was in this office Monday, and re-
marked that the joints over at Pigua
were shut up tighter than drum, and
that the Catholics bad done it. The
Priest got tired, as ne expressed it, of
having his communicates come to
mass and then get drunk sn their way
home, and so he called his flock to-
gether and told them that the joints
must go or he would. And so a COM
mittee from the church waited on the
keepers and told them they would
have fortyeight hours to quit. And
they quit. We are Protestant; but
there are some things about the Cath
Ollie church that we like mighty we'll.
