The death of Mrs. Isabel Cole Shaw occurred at her home on Saturday after a long painful sickness. Mrs. Shaw leaves a husband, S. Albert Shaw, two sons and daughters. She was the daughter of Hannah Brooks Cole and was born in Portsmouth 64 years ago. Funeral services were held from her late home on Monday afternoon and were conducted by Rev John Cummings, pastor of the Congregational church, of which she had been a member for many years. Two selections, "Sun of my Soul!" and "Abide with me" were sung by Henry Fogg and sisters of Hampton Falls. Until sickness made it impossible the deceased was active in many affairs of the church and town. For more than a quarter of a century she was secretary of the Woman's Missionary Auxiliary and rarely, if ever absent. Mrs. Shaw will long be missed as a loving and kind wife, mother and friend, and her great patience during her long illness is one of her many outstanding virtues. Mr. Shaw returned to Boston with his daughter, Mrs. Savage on Tuesday where he remained until Saturday.

^{*This date of death comes from the Hampton Town Reports. The obituary suggests that she died on the Saturday before the paper was published, which would have been on December 29th.}
