Raleigh Christian Advocate (Raleigh, NC) 19 Oct 1881, Wed, p 6
Died in Wilmington, on Monday, Oct 3rd, 1881, in hope of a blissful immortality, Mrs. Julia Shaw, wife of Mr. W.H. Shaw, and daughter of Stephen D. Wallace, Esq., aged about 44 years. She was converted and joined Front St. Methodist Church, South, in 1863, then under the pastoral care of Rev. James Jamison, and was married to W.H. Shaw, Esq., in Sept. 1854. She leaves a father and mother and sisters that loved her well, a devoted husband, three grown sons and one daughter, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. But God in His goodness spared her to see, in answer to her life of prayer, all her family converted—the husband and daughter two years ago, and all in the Church, following in the footsteps of the sainted wife and mother to the better home.
"Servant of God, well done!
Rest from they loved employ."
The fell destroyer came in the form of pulmonary consumption, and at times her sufferings were very great, and bore the conflict of dissolution with a Christian patience and fortitude that was at once beautiful and heroic. Her mental faculties continued clear and active up to the last hour, and of all the loved ones that stood around that dying bed she was the calmest and most peaceful. I have never seen clearer testimony given to the throes of the last mortal struggle than that presented by Sister Shaw. For nearly four years I have known her Christian integrity and intelligent piety. I have consulted her as to Church work—heard her speak in love-feast, seen her at the altar encouraging penitents, and always and everywhere her testimony was the same: the religion of Jesus can transform and save. On the Sabbath before she died her ear caught the sound of the Church-bell, and with a sweet smile she said, "By next Sabbath I shall be in heaven." And when the moment of her departure drew nigh she called the attention of those about her to the truth of religion in its power to sustain and comfort in its last hour as exemplified in her own case, and after I had prayed with her she made an effort to join me in singing "Nearer my God to Thee." It was the last she ever sang on earth, but blessed be God, through His abundant grace, she is where the weary are at rest, and in immortal yough singing the "new song."
Blessed saint, may the influence of your example never lose its power upon the loved ones you have left behind, until they greet you white-robed and crowned upon the eternal shore.
