General Notes: Husband - Milton E. Shaw


He was just three years old when his father died. He attended school after coming to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, at Worthington Academy and Freeport. For some time he was a clerk in the John W. Redpath store at Freeport, and then went to Pittsburgh. When the Civil war broke out he joined the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry, Army of the Cumberland, an independent regiment, which was, many years later, taken by Brigadier General Palmer to Colorado Springs as his guests at the "Antlers" Hotel. Mr. Shaw served three years during the Civil war, after which he was engaged in the Pennsylvania oil fields for nine years. He and his brother Charles contracted, drilling oil wells. After his marriage he moved to Worthington, Armstrong County, where he engaged in farming until 1879, selling his place there and going to Kansas. When he returned east he made the trip by wagon. He again became interested in farming at Worthington, where he remained until his retirement, in 1889, after which he lived in that part of Kittanning known as Wickboro, his residence being at No. 1029 Orr avenue. In his earlier years Mr. Shaw took considerable interest in public affairs, and acted as assistant clerk to the county commissioner. Politically he was associated with the Washington party, and his religious connection was with the Lutheran Church.
