Miss Ellen A. Shaw, of Keeseville, N. Y., a member of the C. L. S. C., of
the class of ’87, entered “that school where she no longer needs our poor
protection, but Christ himself doth rule,” on September 30, 1884, aged
nineteen years. They had been “nineteen beautiful years,” exceptionally
happy to herself, and the source of great pleasure to all her friends.
Graduating from the High School in Keeseville in June, 1884, she
immediately took up the Chautauqua Idea, and began the prescribed course
in October following. She enjoyed it exceedingly, interested others in
it, read carefully, and made her memoranda and reports faithfully until
her strength failed, and she laid down her hopes of earthly improvement,
with brighter ones of the country where our mental powers know no fatigue
or decay.

At a meeting of the “Bryant” circle of Worcester, Mass., C. L. S. C.,
October 7th, 1884, the following memorial was adopted: “_Whereas_, It has
pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our circle one of our beloved
members, Miss Effie C. Warner, of the class of ’87, we desire to express
our appreciation of her character and her worth as a member of our
circle. Her presence was always welcomed with pleasure, and our meetings
were made interesting by her fine musical attainments, which she was
ever ready to devote to the cause she loved. While we mourn her loss, we
bow in submission to the will of him who ‘doeth all things well.’ We are
thankful for her pure, gentle life, and feel sure that its influence will
long be felt in our circle.”
