John B. Shivers and Mary Jane Moore on January 21, 1848.

"The LaFayette Sun" - July 10, 1901:

Acme. - Left over from last week.

Between the hours of 1 and 2 last Thursday evening, the spirit of Mrs. Mary Jane Shivers winged it’s way from earth to the great Beyond, from whence no traveler e’er returns. After several days of bodily suffering, she met grim Death’s icy hand with great resignation. Having long since made peace with God, she marched up to eternity with no fears.
She was a living example of industry. Shot and shell from his foes in 1862 laid low her husband. Struggling through laborious toil, pinched by poverty and desolation, spread by the war, she reared her children respectably.
At old Darien cemetery, with her silvered head turned toward the setting sun, in her low and narrow bed, covered by the sods of clay, gently sleeps the peaceful remains of our mother, grandmother and friend. She was 68 years old.
