MRS. LILLIE SHAW PASSED ON MONDAY

Winterset Woman Resident of Madison county for Past 66 Years

Mrs. Lillie M. Shaw, a resident of Madison county for the past 66 years, died at her home in Winterset Monday after a long period of failing health. She was 82 years of age.

Mrs. Shaw was born in Brown county, Ohio, on Nov. 3, 1859, the daughter of Alfred and Mary Shaw. When she was 16 years old she came to Iowa with her parents. The family settled in Webster township, and this county had been her home since that time.

On Dec. 4, 1879, she was married to Sweden Jolliffe. They were the parents of one son, Sweden Jolliffe, but the husband and father died one year after marriage.

In 1883 she was united in marriage to M. C. Shaw. They were the parents of two children, Mrs. Ava Leveke, and the late Stanley Shaw. Her husband died eight years ago.

Mrs. Shaw was a life-long member of the Methodist church, having transferred her membership to Iowa when she removed from Ohio.

She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Ava Leveke; a step-daughter, Cordelia Smith; two sisters, Emma Krell of Omaha, and Mrs. Henry Brown of Cada; one brother, George Shaw of Winterset; four grandchildren; and two great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. from the Methodist church, in charge of the Rev. W. A. Samp. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
