The following from Ruth Brown Egan #48552943:
Etta was the daughter of Henry John and Caroline Lewis Shaw. The Shaws were very early settlers in Westfield Township, founding the village of Shawtown, now an official ghost town. This part of Morrow County was in Delaware County until 1848.After the death off both of their parents, she raised her younger sister Mattie Irene, from the age of eleven. She lived her whole life within the confines of Morrow County, Ohio. She married Sherman Marshall Maxwell on 7 Mar 1886 in Morrow County and then settled on a farm on Marion Road about three miles from Cardington where she lived until after the death of her husband when she moved into Cardington where she died. Their union was blessed with a son Nathan Miner Maxwell on 5 May 1887. Thanks for help from Jesse and Janet Shaw, who compiled in 1987 Descendants of John and Susannah Shaw (1694-1987).

Etta actually left Morrow County after she married Sherman, and went to live just across the line- a few miles- into Marion County in Richland Township on or near the farm of his father Marshall. Ruth Brown Egan
