EDWARD SHAW
History of Arizona, page 63

Edward A. Shaw is one of Kingman's best known citizens, having 
been in business here continuously since 1902 during which 
period he has met with a splendid measure of success. He was 
born in Chicago, Illinois, on the 30th day of August 1875, and 
is the third in order of birth of the four children who were 
born to James S. and Abbie F. (Hunt) Shaw. His father moved 
from Chicago to Denver in 1880 and was there engaged in the 
furniture business until 1910 when  he retired from active 
affairs and moved to California where his death occurred in 
1929. Edward A. Shaw received his education in the public and 
high schools of Denver, after which he took up bookkeeping. 
Later he was cashier of the bank of El Dora, Colorado. He went 
to New Mexico in 1899 and shortly afterwards to Bisbee, Arizona, 
where he worked for the Copper Queen Mining Company for two years. 
He spent some months in Nevada and California and in 1902 came to 
Kingman and organized the Arizona Stores Company.  This proved a 
successful venture and he operated it continuously until 1916 
when he sold it to the Babbitt Brothers, since which time he 
has given his attention to mining, being interested in the 
White Hills mining Company and several other companies.

Mr. Shaw married Jessie Starr, of California, a daughter of A.E. 
Starr and to them have been born five children, Allen Edward, 
Mary Frances, Alice B., James, Herbert and Billie. Mr. Shaw is 
a life member of Kingman Lodge No. 468, BPOE of which he is 
past exalted ruler.
