Mrs. Mary Steele Shelby, wife of Col. Isaac Shelby, died at their hand some home, "Arcadia," in this county Friday and was buried at Danville Sunday after an impressive service by the Episcopal minister of whose church she had long been a devout member. Mrs. Shelby was a native of Chicago where Col. Shelby met and wooed and won her and was highly accomplished and wealthy. She made him a true wife and bore him 13 children, nearly all of whom are living, and to whom and the sorrowing husband we extend sympathy and condolence in this very dark hour.
