Shaw, Allie Minerva (9 Sept. 1876 - 14 March 1936)

Allie Minerva Christie was born Sept. 9, 1876, to Andrew and Caroline Christie at West Salem, Wis. While a very small infant, she came with her parents to the Town of Weston in Clark County, where they made their home.

On April 27, 1898, she was united in marriage with Linwood Shaw and together they established the home where she resided until her death.

Mrs. Shaw was taken suddenly ill on Monday, March the 9th, and passed away Saturday, March 14, 1936.

Mrs. Shaw was a member of the Methodist Church and the Ladies’ Aid Society at Christie, and she was a faithful worker in each organization for many years. She was a loving wife and mother, and a true friend. Her willingness and ability to help her friends in time of sickness and trouble were only a few of her fines traits.

She leaves to mourn her husband; two sons, Raymond and Everett both of the Town of Weston, (one daughter, Gladys, having died in infancy); two grandchildren, Elton and Darleen; her aged mother, Mrs. Caroline Chrisite of Weston; one sister, Mrs. Ben Stanley of the Town of Eaton; two brothers, Scott and Fred Christie of the Town of Weston and a host of friends.

Funeral services were held from the home in the town of Weston on Tuesday afternoon at 1:15 o’clock, and from the Methodist Church in Neillsville at 2 o’clock, the Rev. P. B. White officiating, and burial took place in the Neillsville Cemetery.
