Columbus City Cemetery, Columbus, Colorado County, Texas, USA [1]
Died in San Antonio Tuesday morning last, at 2 o’clock, Mrs. Zue B. Shaw, wife of Mr. Carey Shaw, of this city.
The deceased had been in delicate health for some time, and every effort that medical skill could suggest, every device that love could imagine, had been resorted to in the hope of enticing her sweet spirit from winging its way o’er “the beam of light that heavenward led.”
She had been absent from home near a month, her family and friends fondly hoping that change of scenery and skillful treatment would restore her vitality; but the last act of the great drama came with crushing force, and its funeral pall enveloped a large mass of our community. Her remains were brought here on Tuesday’s train, accompanied by her husband, and her nearest and dearest relatives and friends, and Wednesday at 3 p.m. the Rev. S. C. Littlepage, the Pastor in charge of the Columbus Methodist Church, performed very impressive services at her residence amid a dense assemblage, the Knights and Ladies of Henrietta Hodge, (of which she was a member,) attending in a body. A long cortege of sorrowing friends and relatives followed her dear inanimate form to the City Cemetery, where with appropriate ceremonies by the same reverend gentleman, her form was interred The CITIZEN extends condolence to the bereaved relatives. A loving wife, a devoted mother, an affectionate sister, an exemplary Christian, a genial companion, an active philanthropist, and untiring worker in all beneficial enterprises, _____”So strong For battling storms--so fair for crown of roses--so-lithe for fostal hours!’ the heart cords of pain stretch to shrill tension over the manifold positions she graced, now, alas! made vacant forever The sun of her earthly existence was still pointing to the meridian when her river of life rushed through the pearly gates of eternity--
“Where all crimson and gold, Slowly home to the fold, The fleecy clouds flock to the gateway of even, Then no longer brook born, But a way paved with morn, Aye, a bright golden street to the city of heaven.” Colorado Citizen, July 14, 1887
