Susan WILSON SHIELDS was born February 3, 1820, near Lexington, Kentucky, and died at her home in this city at 7 o'clock yesterday evening.
She was married to Nathan SHIELDS in Henry county in 1833, and to them were born four sons and six daughters. Her husband died in Fulton county in February 1858. Three children still survive her: Lina DAVENPORT, of Springfield, Ohio, and Thomas S. and Laura SHIELDS, of this place.
The funeral will occur at the Christian church, in this city, next Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, and the remains will be at the church to be seen from 10 o'clock of that day, interment in the cemetery at Athens.
Of her life and its nobleness much could be said, yet all can read an open book, and such was the life she lived. She early united with the Christian church and her life has been a living sermon of christian belief and fidelity. To all she was lovingly known as "Grandma" and children loved her kindly words and smiles, and older ones sought counsel from her ever generous storehouse of knowledge. Truly may it be said, she lived a simple, noble life.
