for the last six years was a resident of Pe Ell, died at her home here
early Saturday morning. Her death, following an illness of only a few
days, came as a distinct shock to her family and friends. During the
years of her residence in Pe Ell, Mrs. Barshaw was an active force in
the civic and social life of the community. She possessed in rare
measure the spirit of youth, which, coupled with life's experiences,
made her a valued friend and counselor alike to old and young. Her
winsome and gracious personality created in her home an atmosphere of
generaous hospitatlity, and her quick sympathy found expression in a
ready response to every appeal for help for the needy, and "Many a poor
one's blessing went with her
Beneath that low green tent,
Whose curtain never outward swings."
She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Maude Morrow, Mrs. Ada Stewart
and Miss Andrea Barshaw of Pe Ell, and Mrs. Lillian Seyler of Twin
Bridges, Mont.; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bessie Barshaw; and thirteen
grandchildren. The many friends to whom she endeared herself during her
residence in Pe Ell feel in her death a personal loss.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at St. Joseph's Catholic
church. The beautiful and impressive requiem high mass was sung by Rev.
Father James Toner. The funeral was directed by the Sticklin Mortuary
and the body was shipped to Twin Bridges, Mont., for burial in the
family plot, beside the graves of her late husband, and only son. Mrs.
Stewart accompanied the remains to Twin Bridges, where other relatives
assembled for the final rites.
