ROY L. SHAW LAID TO REST

CAPTAIN OF CO. I, 2ND IDAHO NATIONAL GUARDS, HIGHLY ESTEEMED CITIZEN OF PAYETTE

Roy L. Shaw was born at Hudson, Missouri, November 14th, 1883, and died at St. 
Alphonsus Hospital, Boise, Idaho, January 18th, 1917, age 33 years, 2 months 
and 4 days. He was united in marriage at Inid, Oklahoma to Miss Ruth Harris, 
August 29th, 1906. They moved to Blackwell, Okla. shortly after their 
marriage, where one child was buried. They remained at Blackwell until the 
spring of 1911 at which time they moved to Boise, Idaho, and shortly after 
moving to Payette, Idaho, where they have made their home until the time of 
his death. Upon moving to Payette Mr. Shaw engaged in the practice of law and 
was closely connected with the affairs of the city, ready and willing at all 
times to assist in the upbuilding of the city and community. He was loved and 
respected by all who knew him. He was a member of the W.O.W., Modern Woodmen, 
and Artisan lodge, carrying $6,000 Insurance and a Past Master in the Masonic 
Lodge. He was also chairman of the Payette Commercial Club at the time he left 
Payette to go with Company I to the Mexican border as their Captain. He was 
not in good health at the time, but owing to his robust appearance he passed 
the medical examination and went in response to his country's call as Captain 
of Company I. He was a good officer, commanding the respect of all, and under 
his command Company I became one of the best disciplined Companies in the 
regiment, and received many compliments through the press.

He leaves to mourn his loss, a bereaved wife and mother, one brother, I. A. 
Shaw of Blackwell, Okla., two half sisters and two half brothers. The many 
friends made by Mr. and Mrs. Shaw in this community, extend to the wife and 
mother their heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement.

A military funeral service was conducted from Fry & Summers Undertaking parlor 
Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock by the Chaplain of the Idaho Regiment, Rev. 
Wilsie Martin, which was very impressive and fitting for the occasion. There 
were many beautiful floral offerings from Company 1, the Masonic Order of 
Payette of which he was a member and from many friends at Boise. Six Captains 
of the Idaho Regiment acted as pallbearers. The 3rd Battalion escorted the 
procession to the depot from which place the body was shipped to Blackwell, 
Okla., accompanied by the bereaved wife and mother, to be laid to rest in the 
family lot beside his father and little son who preceded him to the better 
world.
