The Portland Review, Tuesday, March 16, 1939

Funeral services were held at St. Patrick Catholic church Friday forenoon for 
Mrs. James Shay, whose death occurred Wednesday morning at the family home on 
Bridge street, following a long period of poor health.  Mrs. Shay was a native 
of Wales, having come to this country with her parents at the age of 11 years, 
locating near Belding.  Her maiden name was Elizabeth Griffiths.  She married 
Mr. Shay at Belding 46 years ago.  The family resided in Chicago for a number 
of years and came to Orange township 24 years ago, where they lived until 
moving to this village a few months ago.

The husband survives, as do five children—Mrs. Ida Newkirk, Grand Rapids; 
John, Allen and Miss Dorothy Shay, Portland, and Mrs. Thomas Gannon, of 
Chicago.  There are 12 grandchildren.  There are also two brothers, John 
Griffiths, of Belding, and Thomas Griffiths, of Louisville, Ky., and two 
sisters, Mrs. Walter Snyder, of Albion, and Mrs. Marie Rogers , of 
Minneapolis, Minn.

Another daughter, Mrs. Arthur Summers, died several years ago, leaving the 
husband and seven small children.  Mr. Summers and his children have since 
made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Shay.
