In the back row is Early Shaw (Earl), Unknown, Unknown, Frank Shaw, Unknown, Mary Goldsmith (neice of Anna Shaw) Of the unknowns it is thought that they include Zada Shaw (Dot), Lyman J. Shaw, and Gilmore S. Shaw. Additional Comments: The following is from the "Atlas and Directory of Medina County, Ohio", by the American Atlas Company, 1897. Shaw, G. W., is one of the pioneer farmers of Medina county. Like his father before him, he is frugal, industrious, economical and a good financial manager. He is one of the men who have been instrumental in raising Medina county to the high level it now occupies. He was born in York township, July 5th, 1838. In 1851 he removed with his parents to Montville township, and remained at home till Christmas, 1859, when he was united in marriage with Miss Ann Fretter, who was born June 15, 1839 in Avon township, Lorain county, Ohio. After marriage he remained in Montville township until 1866, when he removed to Lafayette township and purchased a part of the farm he now owns. Besides farming he has operated a threshing machine and clover huller for twenty-two years, and has encouraged the use of machinery on the farm in many ways. Both Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are members of the Universalist church at Leroy, Ohio. Nine children have been born to them, six boys and three girls. Mrs. Shaw is a most estimable woman, always doing her part faithfully and well. The following is from "The History of Medina Co. and Ohio", published in 1881 G. M. Shaw, farmer; P. O. Whittlesey; born July 19, 1838, in York Township, this county. His parents were William and Hannah (Peacock) Shaw, both of whom were natives of England. He was born June 1, 1800, in Yorkshire, and was a son of John, also; Hannah Peacock was born in the same shire, Nov. 20, 1800, daughter of Thomas Peacock, of English birth and parentage. Moody, the middle name of our subject, was from his grandmother, who was a Moody. The Moodys in England were of the best families, and were heirs to a large estate, which one of the number forfeited by marrying contrary to the wishes of her parents. George M's grandfather's daughter was a Moody. She ran off and married a footman, and, as a result, her parents cut her off with a shilling. The parents of our subject emigrated to this country in 1829, locating four years in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., and came to this county in 1833, and purchased 60 acres in York Township, for which he paid $3 per acre. A log cabin was hastily constructed. The forest soon melted away under the devastating influence of his labor and perseverance. After eighteen years' residence, he accumulated 209 acres of land, which was at this time pretty well improved. He then moved to Montville Township, where he remained until his death, Sept. 3, 1869, being worth at the time of his death about $20,000, all of which he had made since he came to this county. G. M. is of a family of ten children, whose names are John, now of Montville; Ann (Mrs. John Eggleston), in Seville; Jane (Mrs. A. G. Miner), in Medina; Thomas, in Montville; William, in Brunswick; Hannah (Mrs. Thomas Peacock), in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y.; G. M., in this township; Emelina, in Medina; Mary A. (Mrs. Daniel Harrington), in Michigan; all now living. Our subject remained at home until Dec. 25, 1859, when he was married to Ann Fretter, who was born June 15, 1839, in Avon, Lorain Co., Ohio, daughter of Henry and Mary (Askill) Fretter. He was born in Northamptonshire, Eng., Nov.11, 1799. He was a son of John, who was born in 1759. Mary Askill's father's name was John. Mrs. Shaw's father came West in 1835, locating in Avon, and to him were born nine children. Six grew to maturity - Jane, now in Michigan; John, in Minnesota; Thomas, in Grafton; Henry W., in Michigan; Joseph, in Litchfield. Mrs. Shaw had three brothers who served three years in the late war - Thomas, Henry and Joseph - the latter losing his right arm. The family above mentioned moved to York in 1859. Mr. Fretter died April 6, 1877. His mother is still living. After Mr. Shaw was married, he remained in York until 1866, when he moved to this township and purchased 105 acres, where he now resides. He has now 180 acres. He, like his father, is a successful financier. Being a hard worker, and having a valuable helpmate and an industrious family, he is destined to attain still greater ends than those already accomplished. He has a family of nine children, whose names are Lyman J., Early P., Zada P. (more commonly known as "Dot"), Gilmore S., Frank E., William H., Kittie May, Lena E., and Alonzo E. Mr. Shaw, in connection with his farm, is running a thrashing machine and clover huller, and is a great man for encouraging the use of machinery in all departments o husbandry. Both Mr. Shaw and wife are members of the Universalist Church at Westfield.

Hayman, Esq., of Apple Grove, has kindley furnished us the particulars of a terrible accident, which occurred in Letart township on the evening of the 4th inst. Mr. Levi Sayre was killed almost instantly, by being struck with a heavy log, which fell from the car at his new steam saw-mill, as it was being drawn from the river to the hill. He survived the blow only about 30 minutes Mr. Sayre was a citizen of Letart township, and a useful, industrious, and worthy man. For many years, he has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His loss will be much felt in the neighborhood, but more especially by his afflicted family. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE - We regret to learn that on Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, the large store-room of Mr. Guthrie, in Cheshire, Gallia county, was discovered to be on fire, and before the flames could be extinguished, the building, together with all its contents, was entirely consumed. Books, accounts, notes, goods, and everything else in the building was destroyed. A large quantity of wheat was also consumed. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Mr. Guthrie's loss will be very heavy. We have not learned the amount of loss or insurance. RUNDLE vs HOY -- in the last number of the Gallia Courier, we find the following notice, which, in justice to Mr. Rundle, we transfer to our columns: For the Gallia Courier Mr. VANCE - I have just arrived here on my way from Cincinnati to Buffalo, Va., and find in the "People's Fountain," several articles by C. W. HOY, charging me with slander, falsehood, etc. I would notify all parties concerned, that I shall answer him as soon as possible, and will here state that the Rev. Kennedy never committed an unlawful act to my knowledge, and that I never even hinted that he did, and I here pronounce C. W. Hoy an unmitigated lying villain. John Rundle. -- Gallipolis, Dec. 6, 1854 DEATH OF A SOLDIER -- John Starke, who served in the Mexican war, and every since has been a township charge, died in Gallipolis township last week. So say the Courier.
