Savannah Reporter, January 30, 1903
Mrs. Shores, mother of John, Calvin and Oscar Shores, Mrs. Elliott of Fillmore and Mrs. Pierce [sic] of Barnard, died Sunday morning at 5 o’clock. She was an old resident, living near Fillmore, where she raised up her family from childhood. The husband and father died when they first moved here from Iowa. She, with her son Calvin, lived on the home place, where her life of Christian faith and self-sacrifice has been devoted to the grandest work a woman can do—the calling and vocation of true motherhood—and her children grow up to call her blessed. Her death was a triumph in the Christian faith, which had been her comfort and the secret of her strength in all the burdens of life. Shortly before the end came she called the family to her bedside and gave them her dying blessing, and said, I am going home. The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church and the remains laid to rest in the Fillmore Cemetery. Rev. F. E. Baldwin spoke from the text, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his” [Numbers 23:10], on the topic of “The Exalted Office of True Motherhood.”
