New Plymouth Outlook
New Plymouth, Idaho
Friday, September 2, 1904

Died on Sunday evening, August 21, 1904, at the residence of her only 
surviving daughter in East Orange, New Jersey, Mrs. Eliza Gordon Kershaw. Mrs. 
Kershaw was born in New York City eighty-five years ago. She was the daughter 
of James and Hannah Gordon, who came to this country from the north of 
Ireland. They were of Scotch descent, as the name Gordon implies. When a 
little child her parents moved to Paterson, New Jersey, and here her children 
were born and most of her life was spent. She had been a widow since 1864. Her 
husband, James Kershaw, was a major in the New Jersey state militia, and for a 
time was an enlisting officer during the civil war. Though she had five 
sisters she was the last surviving member of her family. She leaves two 
children, a daughter, Sarah, the wife of Mr. Robert Burnet, of East Orange, 
New Jersey, and a son, John, the pastor of the Congregational church at New 
Plymouth. No mother ever had more devoted daughters and no daughters ever had 
a mother more worthy of their devotion. JK
