Shannon, departed this life on Monday, the 6th inst., after a short but very painful illness. Mrs. Shannon was 35 years of age, born and reared in this county, and her death has left a place in her family and in a large circle of friends that will be severely felt and hard to fill. It is said that death “loves a shining mark,” and in this instance its shafts were directed to one whose life was bright in all those qualities of heart and hand that endeared her to her family, her friends and her neighbors. A devoted and faithful wife, a kind and loving mother to children not her own, a generous and obliging friend and Christian, she has gone to her reward, and left to her family and acquaintances the example of a self- sacrificing and noble life.
