At nineteen years of age she was married to E. B. Shaw, and about twelve years later they removed to this county, where she has since made her home.

She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. L. Cross, who has made her home with her sister, Mrs. Emma E. Mays of Oklahoma, who arrived last Saturday and was with her when death came and three brothers Cyrus S. Mallory of Toledo, Ohio, George G. of Bucyrus, Ohio, and Benjamin G. of Brainerd, Minnesota.

The funeral was held at the residence this morning at 10 o’clock. The services were in charge of her pastor, Rev. O. S. Baker. The pallbearers were E. C. Ogg, C. P. Axtell, Henry Phillips, A. J.
