Hannah R. Shaw was born in Alfred, N. Y., Sept. 16, 1833, and passed to the other life March 22, 1900.
She was the daughter of Phineas K. and Malissa Sweet Shaw. On June 22, 1868, she was married to Warren Jaques. Since her marriage they have resided in Little Genesee, N. Y., except one year, which was spent in Alfred. She leaves a husband and two sons, Charles and Delos. When 13 years of age, she was baptized by Elder James H. Cockran, and united with the Second Alfred Seventh-day Baptist church. In 1884 she removed her membership to the First Genesee church. From the first of her sickness, a few weeks before her death, she longed to go to her heavenly home. It seemed very hard for the church and community to spare her; but she felt that her work here on earth was done. When told that death was near she said, “I’m so glad, so glad.” She had been a loving mother, a faithful friend, a kind neighbor and a staunch supporter of the church in all its work. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, at the home, March 23, and by Pastor Peterson in the Second Alfred church, Sabbath afternoon, March 24. Burial took place at Alfred. D. B. C.
