DIED.

Mrs. Ray Shaw passed away Tuesday morning, December 2, 1918, at the family home over the Strobel millinery store. On November 16, 1918, a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, and she was attacked by influenza not long afterward. Her constitution was unable to withstand the ravages of the malady and her life came to a sad and untimely close.

Mr. and Mrs. Shaw formerly resided east of here, moving to town only a few weeks ago. She is survived by her husband and three children, the oldest of whom is four years old and the youngest only about three weeks of age. Her death is particularly sad under these conditions, and the bereaved husband and other relatives have the sympathy of the community. Mr. Shaw has arranged to place his motherless children in the home of his brother at Moline, Ill. John C. Ruble, an uncle of Mrs. Shaw, came from LeMars Tuesday. Her mother, Mrs. Julia Maben, arrived from Westphalia, Kan., but not in time to attend the funeral.

A burial service was conducted by Rev. M. E. Spahr, of the M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon at Riverside cemetery.
