Elizabeth DeLong Shadduck was born in Cattaraugus County, New York, August 22, 1840. She was married to Z. W. Shadduck in 1862. To them were born two sons and three daughters. Her husband and two daughters preceded her to the heavenly home. Her husband was a member of the Erie Conference for thirty years, and she shared the itinerant life with him for twenty-seven years. For the past nine years she made her home with her daughter, Maude (Mrs. Ernest T. Bynum), of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Her eldest son, Edwin D. Shadduck, had been a merchant in Lowell, Massachusetts, and her youngest son, the Rev. Plowden Halsey Shadduck, is a member of the New Hampshire Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She lived an exemplary Christian life. She could not remember the day when she did not love and serve her Lord. Though past the three score and ten years of age, she maintained a great interest in her home and church. The Woman's Missionary Societies of which she was an official member to the end, were of great interest to her. She lived to make the world better. All who knew her were helped to a better life and a more self-sacrificing and loving service. Bright in intellect, and active in the church and society, yet her chief delight and her greatest comfort was her home. Her grandchildren were especially fond of her. She had not been well for three years but, bore her suffering without a murmur unto the end and then triumphed over the last foe and passed peacefully on into the realm of eternal day, February 28, 1912. Her body was laid by the side of her loved ones gone before, at Meadville, Pennsylvania.
