The Otsego Union
March 14, 1901

         Death claimed another victim in the person of MRS. 
       MARANDA SHAW, who had been ill for two years with para-
       lysis. She was a saintly woman and her pure life was a
       benediction to many who have come in contact with it.
       She was 86 years old and for years has been prepared
       to enter her Heavenly home.
       
         MISS MARANDA NICHOLS was born in Middlebury, Genessee
       county, N.Y., May 14, 1891. When a girl she moved to
       Ohio with her parents. Later she moved to Canada, where
       she was married to LEVI B. SHAW, who died about 30 years
       ago. After a residence of 16 years in the Queen's Domain
       Mr. and Mrs. SHAW took up their home in Michigan in 1846.
       After living for a time at Kalamazoo they moved to the
       farm now owned by CHARLES GRAY in this township. They
       were the parents of twelve children, seven of whom yet
       live to sound the praises of a loving mother. The children
       are MRS. NANCY JANE FANCHIER and MRS. PHOEBE CLARK of
       California; MRS. RILLA ALLEN of Juanita, Neb.; MRS.
       LIZENA FRANCES of Hastings, Neb.; MRS. MARY COLE of
       Bonanz, Colo.; MRS. EVA KING of Reed City and DAVID
       SHAW of Cambridge City, Ind. Three brothers and two
       sisters also survive her: MRS. PHOEBE COATES of this
       place, MRS> O'CONNER and STEPHEN NICHOLS of Three 
       Rivers, OLIVER NICHOLS of Cadillac and J. B. NICHOLS
       of Howard City.
       
         The funeral was held from the M. E. Church, of which
       she was a member, at 2:30 yesterday afternoon conducted
       by Rev. H. Abraham. Interment in Mountain Home.
