BELLWOOD SOUNDINGS.

Mrs. Susan Shaw, known as grandmother Shaw, quietly passed from this
to a better world Wednesday, April 27, at eleven o'clock a.m.  The
funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Isaac Kreider at the
Lutheran church, on Friday at half-past ten o'clock.  Mother Shaw has
been a consistent church member for a great many years and has now
gone to the never ending rest which awaits all faithful followers of
the Lord.  She had nearly lived out the four score years.  Her family
is scattered - one in Idaho, one in Illinois, one in Jefferson county,
one in Cambria county, two in Philipsburg and Mrs. Geo. Glasgow living
in the vicinity of Bellwood, the last named being the only one that
could minister to her wants in her last hours.  She had been sleeping
most of the time for the last couple of days and about fifteen minutes
before she died she woke up and called all into her room and told them
she could not last but a few minutes, and then sank into the sleep of
death.

On Friday at 10 funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. Kreider,
assisted by Rev. S. F. Forgues, pastor of the Baptist church.  One
son, two sons-in-law, two daughters, and some of grand and great
grand-children were present.
