  	Mrs D. Shaw As sleep to tired eyes, death came to Margaret Robina Baird, beloved wife of Mr Daniel Shaw, on Monday of this week. For some years the inevitable outcome of her malady, paralysis, had been apparent, but with the calm confidence of one who enters on a strange journey after long preparation, she patiently awaited the final summons. The assembling of friends to her side in the last hours is a silent tribute to the wonderful power of the kindly heart to make and hold friendships. Mrs Shaw was possessed of one of those rare temperaments which spends themselves in the service of others. "This women was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." The late Mrs Shaw was a daughter of the late Jas Baird and was born near Appleton fifty-three years ago. About twenty-five years ago after her father's death, with her mother she moved to Almonte and has since resided here. Her mother passed away about four years ago. In addition to her husband, she is survived by two brothers, Jas B. and Robt of Pilot Mound, and one sister, Mrs James M. Cameron of Winnipeg. During her residence in Almonte Mrs Shaw had accumulated a large fund of affection from all those with whom she came in contact in her quiet, kindly way. She was a faithful member of St Andrew;s church. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, interment being made in the eighth line cemetery. 1910, Friday February 18, The Almonte Gazette front page
