Ben Shaw Dead
 
It falls to our lot this week to chronicle the sad death of Ben Shaw, who was 
injured by a falling hay derrick a week ago and never regained consciousness.
 
Deceased was born in Harrison county, Iowa, July 16, 1866, and grew to be a 
man there.  In 1888 he was married to Miss Katie Bacus, and in about 18 months 
after marriage he moved with his wife and babe to Idaho, and has been on or 
near Middle Fork ever since.
 
Nine children were born to this union, eight of whom, together with their 
mother, survive him, and also leaves a sister and two brothers to mourn his 
loss.  He was a member of the Latter Day Saints church and was at one time a 
member of the Odd Fellows Lodge here.  The remains were laid to rest in 
Cottonwood cemetery, Rev. Stover conducting the funeral services.
 
Mr. Shaw was a prosperous and widely known rancher and had the respect of the 
community.  He owned a 200-acre ranch where he lived, a good sized head of 
sheep and was very well fixed.
 
The family are unfortunate this year, having lost their $2,000 house a little 
over a month ago, and friends extend most sincere sympathy in their 
bereavement.
