Virginia O. Shehan, wife of M. J. Shehan, died 29 April 1858, in the 57th year of her life. (Was a Catholic) "She was perfectly Resigned to the Will of God, The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord. She was once blooming as a flower, But now has faded by the Hand of God. ‘Requiescat in Pace.' Rest in Peace."
