SHAW, James (1864-1910)

OBITUARY

SHAW
James Shaw was killed by the C. & A. limited Friday afternoon near Dellwood. The train crew were the only witnesses and at the inquest claimed that he crawled on the track in front of the train, too late for them to stop and it will always remain a mystery why he committed such an act. Mr. Shaw was a former resident of Lockport. His wife, who was formerly Miss Nellie Pemberton, died a number of years ago.
The funeral took place Sunday after noon from Adelmann's undertaking rooms, Rev. Courrier officiating. Burial in Lockport cemetery.
