Mrs. Pauline Agassiz Shaw, long considered Boston’s 
greatest woman philanthropist, the widow of Quincy 
Adams Shaw, died last Saturday at her residence at 24: 
Perkins street, Jamaica Plain. Mrs. Shaw had been ill 
from pneumonia and the reports regarding her condition 
had caused anxiety as to the outcome of her illness. Mrs. 
Shaw was, before her marriage, Miss Pauline Agassiz, 
the daughter of Professor Louis Agassiz, of Cambridge, 
the distinguished Swiss scientist. To Mrs. Shaw Boston 
owes its well organized kindergarten system; its day 
nurseries; its Ruggles Street Neighborhood House; its 
Civic Service House. Besides these philanthropies were 
many lesser charities which reach almost every possible 
case of need. The North Bennett Street Industrial School 
also had numbered her among its notable benefactors and 
she was instrumental in aiding its establishment. The 
Kindergarten for the Blind long enlisted her strong sym- 
pithy and aid. Her late husband’s wealth, coming from 
the Calumet & Hecla mines, made it possible for her to 
meet almost any call that came to her, but greater than 
the expenditure of money was the heart and soul interest 
she gave to all this work. In doing all this, Mrs. Shaw 
remained the ideal American matron and mother, cher- 
ishing and illustrating the belief that the home and chil- 
dren demand a woman’s first care. She made her home 
the greater part of the year in Jamaica Plain, where her 
estate overlooks Jamaica Pond. She and her late hus- 
band long had a summer residence at Pride’s ‘Crossing, 
known as “‘Commons.” Mrs. Shaw is survived by two 
sons and two daughters, who are: Mrs. L. Carteret Fenno, 
of Rowley, who before her marriage was Miss Pauline 
Shaw; Quincy A. Shaw, of Boston and Pride’s Crossing ; 
Mrs. M. Graeme Haughton, of Boston and Pride’s Cross- 
ing, who was formerly Miss Marian Shaw, and Robert 
Gould Shaw, 2d, who lives in Newton Centre. Another 
son was the late Louis Agassiz Shaw. Mrs. Shaw’s hus- 
band, Quincy A. Shaw, died on June 12, 1908.
