LOUISE SHOVE

DIED:
About the hour of 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday the 17th inst., of
consumption Mary Louise, wife of Don A. Shove, aged 20 years, 7 months and
one day.
The deceased was well known to the residents of Manitowoc. We remember her
well when but a school girl; with a light heart and a merry voice she was
the gayest of the gay. Later, we see her the wife of a man every way worthy
of her love happy in the anticipation of a long and useful life. Time passes
on a baby boy is given to them, but as is often the case the mother's life
is all given to her offspring. Weeks pass by the invalid improves and hope
begins to find a place in the anxious hearts about her, but 'tis all in vain!
Gradually she nears that burro(sic) from which no traveler returns, but she
has no fear; they tell her she must die but she shudders not. Her peace is
made with God and when he calls for her she is ready to leave all that is dear
on earth to try the realities of another world. Through all her long illness
no word of complaint is heard to fall from her lips; she suffers but she knows
that all human skill is of no avail and awaits her departure with a calm heroic
fortitude which wins the heart of all who witness it. To those who die thus
Death is but the portal to a brighter and better existence.

From the Files of the Pilot - 50 Years Ago - (1869)
Died of consumption at Manitowoc on the 17th inst., Mary Louise Shove(sic), wife
of Don A. Shove, Esq., aged 20 years and 7 months. Mrs. Shove was born in the
town of Genoa, Cayuga County, New York, on the 16th day of June, 1848 and died
January 17th, 1869 but moved here with her father's family about twelve years ago.
She was the oldest daughter of Geo. N. Wooden Esq., later District Attorney and
was held in universal esteem by all who knew her as a kind-hearted, thoughtful
and worthy young woman, remarkable for her devotion to her husband, her father
and her remaining brother and sister. In September, 1866 she was married to Don A.
Shove Esq., one of our most respected citizens (to whom she bore a son four months
ago) who during her protracted illness scarce left her side day or night and on
whose wan and haggard contenance the lines of deep sorrow and anguish are legibly
written. The funeral services were held at the Episcopal Church, Rev. M. Dooley
officiating. There was a large concourse of people and the services were profoundly
solemn. The deceased rests in the village burying ground awaiting the great day of
resurrection.
