IN HAM. MI. w. l.. SHAW d prominent
business man of Burnham was found dead
near the NJ. G. R. Z. track about 30 rods
north of the Station, Thursday morning,
July 18th. We are informed that Mr.. Shaw
left his home about p. NJ. Wednesday eve
ming and told his folks that he was going to
meet man at the train. He was last seen
by a lady who lived near the station, and
with whom he passed few words. saying
that his head did not feel we'll. 1t seems
that Mr. Shaw must have become suddenly
dazed and instead of going to the station as
he intended he turned to the right and went
up the railroad track some thirty rods, where
his lifeless body was found Thursday morn
ing. His sudden and unexpected death
/, has been a great shock to the people of this
place with whom he has done much bust
ness. The funeral services were held July
DIST at his late residence, Rev. l.. W. Coons
of Pittstield officiating. The immediate
family of the deceased have the sympathy
