Frederick L. Shaw

this energetic farmer and stock raiser and esteemed citizen of the county, is
like many others who have achieved success in this country and won for
themselves a place in the hearts of its people, a native of England, indeed,
his mother belongs to one of the oldest and proudest families of Lincolnshire,
the surname of which is East. Our subject was born in Nottingham on December
24, 1863. He attended the preparatory school there until ten years old, then
entered Mintholm College, from which he graduated six years later, receiving
his diploma at the remarkably early age of sixteen years. When eighteen he put
into execution a desire long cherished of trying his fortune in the new world,
and came to the United States. Locating in Nance county, Nebraska, he followed
farming and stock raising there for nineteen years, at the end of which
extended period of time, he came out to his present place of abode, half a
mile south of Express. Immediately upon his arrival here he resumed his former
occupation, farming and stock raising, and we now find him very energetically
engaged in building a home for himself and family in his new location. Though
his residence here has been of such short duration, he is already manifesting
a public spirited interest in the local concerns, and doing what he can for
the upbuilding of the new town of Express. He is the owner of a third interest
in the telephone exchange there established, and is vice-president of the
company.

On April 30, 1883, Mr. Shaw married Miss Grace Bennet, a native of England,
and two children graced the union, Ruby, attending the Normal school at
Weston, and Clare L., attending the high school at Express.

Mr. Shaw married a second time on December 29, 1893, Miss Kate Beagle,
formerly of New York state, then becoming his wife, and two children have been
born to them namely: Phyllis and L. Kay.

Fraternally our subject affiliates with the Woodmen of the World and the
Knights of Pythias, of the latter of which order he is a past chancellor
commander. Mr. Shaw was one of the leading spirits in building the Union
church at Express, and he is a stanch supporter of the faith.
