Mr.. John Henry Shaw, age Il
years, died at his home two miles
from MOrtons Gap Friday, Jan. 28..
Death was caused by a gunshot
wound accidentally inflicted by a
friend while serving the Southern
ConfederacY In the sixties.
Mr.. Shaw was one of our most sue.
cessful agriculturists, and owned
very valuable farm praperty.
He was public spirited citizen, d.
one with whom citizenship was a
sacred trust, and whose ideas were
expressed in deeds.
He was prominent in politics, hav-
ing served as Justice of the Peace
for fourteen years. 1850
He was a member of the Masonic.
fraternity, the A. w. Turner lodge
at Darlington being hOnOred with
his membership.
His military record was an envia-
BILE one. At the beginning of hOstiI-
tiles between the North and South
his attempt to enlist was uusuccess-
full because of his youthful age. Lat
er, however, he enlisted as musician
IN Co. B, 3rd N. @. He also served
as orderly and in each of these ca
pacities he served well. He partic-s
ipated In many important engage-s
ments, among them was the battle
of Gettysburg. He was five times
captured, yet never in prison, due to
his genius, alertness aud daring
courage. He surrendered with his
company at AppomatOx Court House
at the close of war and was paroled-
His death is the cause of uniVer-
sal sorrow. He IS survived by a
wife, four children, three brothers,
two sisters and a host OF other reIa-
tives aud numerous friends.

adding to the suffering of the

One square mile of West Hlck-
man is inundated to a depth of
one to twelve feet, and With the
water rising rapidly, flooding the
business district, an exceedingly
grave situation is faced. The

SERVED DURING
The ENTIRE WAR

Esquire John II. Shaw, 72 yrs.
of age, Confederate veteran, re-
tired farmer, active in politics In
Hopkins county for many years
and we'll known throughout the
county, died at his home near
Mortons Gap last Friday morn
ing, following an illness of but a
few days, his death coming as a
shock to his many friends. He
was taken sick with the giip,
pneumonia developing on Thurs
day, which fastened the end.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Claud Cole at the
family residence Saturday after
noon, the remains being laid to
rest in Concord cemetery. Many
of the Confederate veterans of
the county attended the funeral.
John II. Shaw was a native of
North Carolina, born in Duplin
county, Sept. 10, 1874. He was
a grandson of Jarvis Shaw, a
Virginia soldier in the war of
1872, who owned part of the land
upon which was fought the bat
tie of Manassas. Upon this farm
Mr.. Shaw's father, George w.
Shaw was born. The latter for
some time was a mail agent,
driving the fast mail coach be-
tween Washington, d. @. and
Atlanta.
In June, 1861, John H. Shaw,
though yet a boy, attempted to
enlist in the Confederate service,
but was rejected on account of
his age. A little later, however,
he found admission into the 3rd
North Carolina Infantry, as a
musician, enlisting for 3 years,
and in this capacity he served
throughout the war.
Esquire Shaw has been an in.
fuential citizen of the county,
active in politics and enterpris-
ing In public matters, and for
many years served the county in
the capacity of justice of peace.
He was always popular with his
Confederate comrades and was
one of the organizers of the camp
at Madisonville.
He is survived by a wife and
several children.
