Lake Odessa Times, 15 Feb 1934

Robert Shaw Passed Life’s Bounds Sat.

Long Life of Service.  Leaves Large Family of Children and Grand-children.  
Faithful Christian Citizen.

With the death of Robert Shaw the community loses a fine Christian citizen and 
friend.  Mr. Robert Shaw had not only the devotion of his large family but the 
respect of his neighbors and friends.  Although living most of his years on his 
farm northeast of the village yet he was closely connected with the life of the 
village as well.

He was a faithful member of the local Methodist church and of the Masonic 
lodge.  Only recently he attended the latter institution in the best of spirits 
and best of health.  However, that dread disease pneumonia grasped him and 
owing to his advanced years he succumbed.

The funeral was held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon.  The pastor Rev. 
A. T. Cartland officiated.  Mrs. Thomas Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. 
Goodemoot furnished the music.  A number of Masonic brothers served as escort.  
The bearers were:  Charles Ernsberger, Gottlieb Kussmaul, Ed Shellhorn, Dan 
Skellenger, Fred Urtel and Norman Barker.  Burial was at Lakeside cemetery.
