Frank was born near Montgomery, La., Nov. 22, 1871.  He was educated in the 
common schools of Winn and Grant.

May 22, 1893, he married Miss Ellen R. Crawford, a daughter of James Crawford, 
who has been one of the active factors in building up this section.  Mr. Shaw is a 
Protestant Methodist and a Knight of Pythias.  He is a quiet man in his demeanor 
but strict and forcible in the discharge of his official duties.

He is Sheriff of Winn Parish and a candidate for re-election.  He has served before
 as constable in Ward One and city marshal in Winnfield.  He is hospitable and kind 
and seems to keep an open house to his numerous friends.

Mr. Shaw has been identified with this country all his life, and is well acquainted 
with her history, her possibilities and her needs.  He is a good neighbor, has a kind 
heart and pays strict attention to his own business.  He is a good citizen and makes 
a good officer.
