Died.

SHAW - On the 6th inst., at the residence of her mother, in Bellwood, 
Pa., Miss Sophia Shaw, in the 39th year of her age.
  She was a believer in Christ, and a member of the Baptist Church for 
about eighteen years.  During most of this time she was an invalid.  
Patient in suffering, cheerfully waiting for the change to come, fond 
of the people and the ways of the Lord, she died in hope of the Lord's 
glory.  She was a spiritual daughter of Abraham, bowed down with 
infirmity until released by her Lord.  Her body sleeps in Bellwood 
cemetery.
