Shant, W.H., Little Falls, Herkimer County, was a native of the town of 
Danube.  His father, Winslow Shant, was a farmer, and he remained on the farm 
for sixteen years.  Thirteen years ago he embarked in business with his 
brother, B.J. Shant; they were together four years and six months and then 
B.J. sold out to C. W. Vosburgh; but five years ago the partnership was 
dissolved and each has since continued business alone, in the grocery, meat 
and fish line.  In 1878 he married Sarah E. Baily and they attend the 
Universalist Church.  Between the time of leaving the farm and going into 
business he learned telegraphy and cheese making and was occupied two years in 
the former and five years in the latter line.
