IN MEMORIUM Martha Nelson Shaw was born in Platte county, Mo., Sept 4, 1850 and died at her home in Potter, Feb. 10, 1907, aged 56 years, 3 months and 10 days. At the age of eight years, she with her parents moved on a farm a few miles west of Potter and lived there until her marriage to Henry Shaw, which occured Nov. 12, 1866. The first few years of their married life were spent on a farm west of Potter and there, their first child, Mrs. Lizzie Bishop, was born. They then bought the farm that all know as the Henry Shaw farm, beautified it and built a comfortable home and here the rest of the children, Mrs. Sinnie Jewell, Mrs. Maud Ellerman, Ben F. Shaw, Mrs. Gertrude Jewell and Miss Georgia Shaw, were born and raised. About two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Shaw moved to Potter and built them a beautiful and comfortable cottage, in which they hoped to enjoy the declining years of their life. Besides her husband and children she leaves her dear aged mother, Grandma Pierce, as every one knows her, and hosts of other relatives and dear friends who mourn with them their loss and rejoice with them in the knowledge of a happy reuniion on the other side. Mrs. Shaw was one of whom we can truly say, she was a faithful and devoted wife, a true and loving mother, and a kind and affectionate friend and neighbor. One who will be missed by her host of acquaintances and friends. The funeral was held from the home in Potter, Monday, Feb. 11, at 1 o'clock, and was conducted by Wm. Hodge, a beloved friend of the family. A large host of friends and family gave tribute by their presence to the memory. After the funeral services at the house, her body was laid in its final resting place in the family lot in beautiful Fairview cemetery.
