Anna Howard Shaw writes about Mrs. Ezekiel (Rachel Brill Ezekiel) taking on all responsilities upon themselves; mentions the National American Woman Suffrage Association would provide Rachel Brill Ezekiel a position looking after the accounts in the New York office if they would relocate, as maintaining a Washington headquarters is no longer financially feasible; mentions they will bring this before Mrs. Avery (Rachel Foster Avery) who can bring the case forward to be considered by the Association; Anna Howard Shaw mentions they will discuss with the National Board about paying Rachel Brill Ezekiel a full salary while on vacation once the new treasurer is established; National American Woman Suffrage Association, Member of International Woman Suffrage Alliance and of National Council of Women, letterhead: Anna Howard Shaw (President), Rachel Foster Avery (1st Vice-President), Florence Kelley (2nd Vice-President), Frances Squire Potter (Corresponding Secretary), Ella S.

The Family of Francis Marion Shaw Newsletter Volume 7 Number 3
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF with 4 pages in addition to 4 JP2 filesThis newsletter centers on the enduring legacy of Francis Marion Shaw. Despite this profound disability, Shaw demonstrated immense courage and stamina, successfully clearing and cultivating multiple plantations and raising a large family with his wife, Rachel Moore Allen Shaw, whom he married in 1866. The publication highlights two key events: a tragic murder-suicide witnessed by Rachel on their farm on September 21, 1900, where a sharecropper shot his wife and then himself, and a solemn dedication ceremony held on August 8, 1998, where descendants honored Shaw with a government marker and iron cross at his final resting place. The newsletter underscores Shaw's heroic post-war life, celebrating his strength and will, and encourages family contributions to preserve their shared history
Data from "Detrimental effects of rhizobial inoculum early in the life of the partridge pea Chamaecrista fasciculata"
No full textThese data files include data on relative growth rate, biomass, and soil moisture from Pain et al. 2018 (American Journal of Botany). See readme file associated with each data file for more information.Premise of the study: Mutualistic relationships with microbes may aid plants in overcoming environmental stressors, and increase the range of abiotic environments where plants can persist. Rhizobia, nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with legumes, often confer fitness benefits to their host plants by increasing access to nitrogen in nitrogen-limited soils, but effects of rhizobia on host fitness under other stresses, such as drought, remain unclear.
Methods: In this greenhouse study, we varied application of rhizobia (Bradyrhizobium sp.) inoculum and drought to examine whether the fitness benefits of rhizobia to their host, the partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), would differ between drought and well-watered conditions. Plants were harvested nine weeks after seeds were sown.
Key results: Young Chamaecrista fasciculata plants that had been inoculated had lower biomass, leaf relative growth rate, and stem relative growth rate compared to young uninoculated plants in both drought and well-watered environments.
Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, the rhizobial inoculation imposed a net cost to their hosts early in development. Potential reasons for this cost include allocating more carbon to nodule and root development than to above-ground growth and a geographic mismatch between the source populations of host plants and rhizobia. If developing plants incur such costs from rhizobia in nature, they may suffer an early disadvantage relative to other plants, whether conspecifics lacking rhizobia or heterospecifics.NSF DEB 1257462Pain, Rachel E; Shaw, Ruth G; Sheth, Seema N.

The Family of Francis Marion Shaw Newsletter Volume 10 Number 3
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF file with 8 pages in addition to 8 JP2 filesThis newsletter profiles Willie Marion Allen, a grandson of Francis Marion Shaw and Rachel Moore Allen Shaw, celebrated as "simply, a good farmer and a good man". Born and raised in rural Berrien County, Georgia, in the area known as Allenville, Willie married Mary Futch in 1914, and they raised their six children in the same small farm home where he was born. He was a dedicated farmer, primarily cultivating tobacco, cotton, corn, and peanuts, and was known for his hard work and commitment to family. Despite the financial challenges of the Great Depression and agricultural setbacks like the boll weevil infestation, Willie expanded his farm acreage and was a respected community member, serving on local and federal juries and as a Mason. In 1937, the family moved to Mary's ailing father's larger farm, taking over his care. Willie Marion Allen died suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1958 at age 67 while tending to his farm, leaving behind a legacy of "simple, good lives". The newsletter also highlights the dedication of new government markers for Jeremiah Shaw, Jr. and Rachel Horne Shaw, parents of Francis Marion Shaw, at Burnt Church Cemetery in November 2001, organized by descendants

The Family of Francis Marion Shaw Newsletter Volume 6 Number 1
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF file with 4 pages and a title page in addition to 4 JP2 files.This newsletter provides a photographic profile of Francis Marion Shaw, noting that only five known photographs depict his entire life journey. These rare images include his earliest portrait taken shortly after the Civil War, showing him gaunt but with his war-caused disfigurement conspicuously trimmed off. Later photographs include formal spousal portraits with his wife, Rachel Moore Allen Shaw, taken around 1885 when he was in his early 40s and she in her early 50s, depicting him as a successful gentleman farmer with a distinguished mustache and beard. Other images include an oval-mounted portrait and a final photograph from around 1905 in front of his farm home with Rachel and their grandson, Brodie, which clearly shows his armless right sleeve. Despite having his right arm off just below the shoulder, Francis Marion Shaw was described as a man of great "vim and courage," capable of clearing and settling two plantations and performing demanding farm chores as effectively as someone with two hands. He and Rachel also opened their hearts and home to extended family, raising grandchildren and housing their daughter and granddaughter

A Primitive Baptist, Ida Jane practiced Christian values. She died on August 18, 1921, shortly after her mother, Rachel, passed away, and was buried in Pleasant Cemetery beside her husband
