  Phebe Poling was born Jan.29,
1810, in Barbour county, VA. Was
married to Joseph Shaw, Jan, 11,1833,
and soon thereafter they moved to 
Fairfield Co., Ohio. To this union
were born four sons and four daugh-
ters, two sons and two daughters hav-
ing passed away nearly fifty years
ago, her late husband following fifteen
years later. Phebe Shaw died at her 
home in Hocking Co., O., July 29, 1901,
age 91 years and 6 months. She leaves 
2 daughters, Sarah A. Sheets and 
Elizabeth Sholl, of Hocking county,
O., and J.N. and B.M. Shaw of Neo-
sho county, Kansas, all of whom were
present at the funeral. She also leaves
a number of grand and great grand
children to mourn her loss. During
the past two years, with her have
passed away a sister, Sarah Haddicks,
and three brothers, Absalom, Remus
and Edgar Poling, whose ages average
about 86 years. Three brothers and
one sister survive; Harvey Poling of
Barbour county, W. VA., Benjaman
Poling and Anna Swearingen of Hock-
ing Co., O., and Capt. Newton Poling
of Phillipsburg, Kansas , whose ages
average about 76 years; and a half sis-
ter and a half brother living in W. VA.
  Phebe Shaw united with the M.
E. church in her girlhood days, more
than 70 years ago. For a number of
years she made it a rule to read the
Bible through at least once a year, but
after having read it through twenty-
seven times her eyesight failed so she
was unable to read for several years 
previous to her death. In her will she
bequeathed $500 each to the Home
and the Foreign Missionary Societies 
of the M. E. church.
  Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Simmons at Harvey Chapel, after
which the remains were laid to rest
beside her husband in Harvey Chapel
cemetery, her four children being
present.
