General Notes: Husband - Rev. Adam C. Shaw


He attended school at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and took a course at Meadville College, after his graduation becoming a minister of the M. E. Church. Some time later he withdrew from the Methodist ministry to engage with the Lutheran denomination, with which he was connected until his death. He traveled from Erie, Pennsylvania, throughout that and other eastern states as a colporteur, selling missionary literature, and continued in this work until his demise, which occurred when he was just thirty-three years old. He was a man of strong convictions and high ideals, an ardent abolitionist, and a sincere religious worker.


General Notes: Wife - Mary E. Ehrenfeld


After the death of her first husband, she lived with her two sons in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, until 1851, when she came to Worthington, Armstrong County. In 1854 she remarried, and moved to Freeport. After his death she moved to Worthington, where she is buried. She died in her seventy-seventh year.
