Biography

Baptised 6 March 1857, at Onehunga

5 November 1898 SHAW - At her late residence, Paeroa, on November 4th, 1898, the dearly beloved wife of Thomas E. Shaw, R.I.P. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock ... We regret very much to announce the death of Mrs Shaw, the wife of Mr Thomas Shaw, Paeroa, which sad event took place on Thursday night last (3rd), at midnight. The deceased lady had been ill for a long time, and it was known that there was no possible hope of her recovery, so that when the end came it was not unexpected, and was felt to be a merciful release from the suffering she had so long and so patiently borne. Her decease will be deeply regretted by the numerous friends she has left behind, and the deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and family

9 November 1898 The funeral of the late Mrs Thos. Shaw took place last Sunday, and the very large concourse of friends from Thames, Te Aroha, Waihi and other parts of this district who followed her remains to their last resting place testified to the high esteem in which the deceased had been held, as also the deep sympahty felt for the bereaved family. The procession, which was one of the largest that we have seen in Paeroa, extending over a mile long, left the late residence of deceased shortly after 3 p.m. and proceeded as far as the Roman Catholic Chapel, where the coffin was taken in and the service read by the Rev Father Hackett in a very impressive manner. At the grave the services for the dead were concluded by the Rev Father, the Sunday School children also taking part by singing "Heaven is the prize"
