Columbus Enquirer dated 15 April 1851
Died
  At his residence, in Wynnton, Capt. James Shaw, (of a lingering disease
terminating in dropsy,) on Monday morning, April 7th, 1851, in the 52nd year of
his age. He was born in Manchester, England, July 8th 1799; but has been a
resident of Georgia for nearly thirty-two years. Capt. Shaw was distinguished
among us for his gentle manners, faithful attention to his business, quity to
all men, and strict observance of the "Golden Rule." A constant friend, he never
forgot a favor, and was ever ready to forgive an injury. He died as far as is
known to the writer -- Without an Enemy in the world. He was an affectionate
husband, a devoted father, and a kind master -- ruling "his own spirit," as well
as his household. And, moreover, he was a Christian -- "the highest style of
man." With the fear of God as a principle, he regulated his life by the Word of
God; and being strong in the Lord and the power of His might, he rested his
whole hope of salvation upon his Savior, Jesus Christ. He found peace in
believing, and rejoiced in the hope of a glorious immortality. In view of his
calm and peaceful death, we cannot help praying--
"Let me die the death of the righteous,
And let my last end be like his!'    C. B. K.
