Belding Banner - Wed. April 14, 1915

The funeral of Asher C. Shaw who died last Wednesday night was very largely 
attended by his old neighbors and friends who came to pay their last respects 
to the deceased.

Mrs. Belle Fuller of Grand Rapids conducted the service and gave an excellent 
discourse from the text. “If a man die shall he live again?”

Mrs. Sarah Clemons Chase and Mrs. A.J. Rummler sang one of the selections 
being, “Sometime We’ll Understand”, which was very effective in connection with 
the thoughts brought out by the speaker and her rendition of the poem, “There 
is no Death.”

There were many beautiful flowers on the casket.

Had Mr. Shaw lived until the 22nd of May he would have been 73 years old. He 
was born in York, Washtenaw County in 1842 and came with his father, Deacon 
John Shaw to the farm north of this city, where he has lived most of his life 
and which he has owned since his father’s death.

Mr. Shaw was married to Miss Elizabeth Wright in Greenville in 1863, and who 
with one son Al Shaw, survives him. Ten years ago they moved off the farm to 
their home in this city, leaving the son on the place and dividing their time 
between the farm and city life.

Among the near friends and relatives present were, Perry Bradford and wife, H. 
House and wife and son Paul, Mrs. Fred R. Johnson and son, Phillip, Mr. and 
Mrs. Philip Shaw, Mrs. Jennie Legg and Mrs. Eliza Young of Greenville.

The remains of this much loved and respected pioneer were laid to rest in the 
Otisco cemetery in the lot beside his father and mother, who proceeded him to 
the spirit world many years ago.
