West-Jersey pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1851-1884: 27 October 1855
Departed this life near Newport, on Saturday, the 13th inst., Mr. Henry Shaw, Sr.,
in the 88th year of his age. The deceased was one of the oldest inhabitants of the
place where he lived, and was well known to the public in his past history as having
filled important offices of trust and responsibility, both in the county and State
of which he was a citizen. He was for many years a member of the Baptist Church of
Dividing Creek, one of her eldest Deacons, and for a long period President of the
board of her trustees, until the  infirmities of age obliged him to resign those
offices… His remains were followed by a large concourse of people on Monday the 15th
inst. to the Baptist church of Dividing Creek, where the occasion was appropriately
improved by the Rev. George Sleeper and others from a passage of Scripture selected
by the deceased previous to his death, from Rev. 14 chapter and 13th verse… After
which they were deposited by the side of those of his wife to await the resurrection
of the just.
