General Notes: Husband - Samuel Shaw


By occupation he was a teamster and farmer, and also owned a coal-bank from which he delivered coal throughout his neighborhood. For a number of years he kept a hotel in Salem, and in addition he dealt considerably in horses. In politics he was an “old line whig,” but on the formation of the Republican party became a member of that organization. He was an excellent citizen, industrious and energetic, but too good-hearted to accumulate much wealth.

The source appears to give two different dates of death for this person, the other being September 12, 1873.
