Former Resident of Page County Dies from Stroke of Apoplexy.
The following letters reached J. M. Brown of this city last Thursday and tell the sad story of the death of one of the pioneers of Page county. A letter from A. L. Shaul, a son of the deceased, we are permitted to print through the courtesy of Mr. Brown:
San Diego, Calif.
June 5, 1916.
Mr. James Brown,
Clarinda, Iowa: Dear Mr. Brown:
Mother asked me to write you and inform you of father's death, G. L. Shaul.
He was suddenly taken ill Saturday afternoon, and the doctor pronounced it a stroke of paralysis.   Shortly after his seizure he became unconscious and passed away   Sunday   morning, June 4, still unconscious.
He suffered no great pain apparently and died as peacefully as he had lived.
It is a singular thing that he should so closely follow G. I. Miller. They were great friends, as you know, and father had missed George very much.
Mother is bearing up very well, although the suddenness of his death was a terrible shock to her. Very sincerely yours,
A. L. Shaul.

The following letter from   S. E. Sperry is also printed through Mr. Brown's courtesy:
San Diego, Calif.,
June 4, 1916.
Mr. J. M. Brown,
Clarinda, la. Dear Friend Jim:
A few days over four months ago G. L. Shaul wrote you regarding G. I. Miller's death. It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Mr. Shaul, which occurred at 6 o'clock this morning from an apoplectic stroke quite similar to Mr. Miller's, excepting that Mr Shaul was only sick from 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon until this morning and was unconscious very shortly after the attack until death. It is a great shock to the family and all of his friends. He has been in his usual health so that no warning was given. All of his family were here. Knowing the kindly feeling that existed between yourself and Mr. Shaul I knew of no one who would feel a more keen sense of sorrow than yourself, so am writing you. We are all in our usual health and hope you are well. Your friend,
S. B. Sperry.

G. L. Shaul will be remembered by many of the old residents of Page county.  An old history of Page county gives the following in regard to Mr. Shaul:
G. L. Shaul, farmer and steward of Page County Farm, section 36, born in Knox county, Mo., in October, 1846. When he was three months old his parents came to Iowa, locating in Wapello county. He came to Page county in 1876 and assumed the conduct of the Poor Farm. His first term giving general satisfaction he was retained for a term of three years.
Referring to the county record, we find that he was county clerk for two terms from 1889 to 1892.   He was respected by all and many will regret to hear of his sudden demise. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 13, 1916

Formerly a resident of Page county, G. L. Shaul, one of the best known then within its borders, in recent years a resident of San Diego, Calif., died in that city, Sunday, June 4. 1916. The previous night he was stricken with apoplexy   or   paralysis,   and fifteen hours later was dead.  In a letter from S. E. Sperry, a former citizen of Clarinda, dated June 4, to J. M. Brown of this city, a friend of the late Mr. Shaul, Mr. Sperry related that Mr. Shaul died very much the same as did G. I. Miller in San Diego, who also formerly was a Clarinda man.  Mr. Shaul and Mr. Miller while both were living in Clarinda were close friends and in San Diego their friendly relations were continued.  Mr. Miller died about four months ago.  Up to the time that Mr. Shaul was stricken with his fatal illness he was in his usual health, and his sudden death was a great shock to his family and friends.  Mr. Shaul was a soldier in the Union army—a member of Company F, Seventeenth Iowa regiment—and had the trying experience of being taken as a prisoner by
the Confederates and of serving in a rebel prison.  He was married to Miss Elizabeth Eyre at Ottumwa, this state, a sister of Mrs. A. B. Saum, formerly of Clarinda, now of San Diego. Mrs. Shaul and three children survive, all at San Diego.   The children are Mrs. Harvey Bentley, Mrs. Bert McMacken, and Gilbert La Fayette Shaul. The late Mr. Shaul was familiarly known in Page county as Lafe Shaul. He at
one time was steward of the Page County Home, or poor farm as it then was known, and for four years—1889- 1892—was clerk of the district court of Page county.   In 1898 he was a strong candidate for postmaster of Clarinda. Politicallly he was a Republican in politics. For a time he handled butter and eggs and was in other private business after leaving the clerk's office.   He was a genial man and had many friends.   His funeral and burial were in San Diego.

Death of Another Pioneer Citizen
Joseph Shaw the subject of this sketch was a native of Ireland, was born and grew to manhood in the country of Donegal. He was the son of David and Catherine Shaw, and one of a family of eight sons and one daughter, the latter being the mother of Robert, William and George Maxwell of this county.
In 1847 he left his native land and sailed for America and landed in Philadelphia after a voyage of sixty days. From that City he went to Pittsburg, Penn., where he remained a short time and then went to Canada, where he made his home for two years. He then made a trip to Ohio and settled near Akron residing there nine years. In 1858 he came to Page county, Iowa, and located in Lincoln township, where he lived uutil a few years ago, when finding the management of his large farm too great a task for his age and failing strength; he built a fine residence in Yorktown. where he lived until his death which occurred Friday morning May 2nd.
He may well be called one of the pioneer settlers of this county, coming here when all west of him and much of the territory east was raw prairie, occupied by deer, wolves and other wild game, with but few neighbors and but few of the comforts of life, He was married in Lincoln township in 1860 to Mrs. C. Aikin, a daughter of Wm. Loy, one of the pioneers of the county. By this union two children were born, Sarah C , wife of M. A. Reed of Shenandoah, and David Nelson, married to Zettie King and residing in Morton township. Their mother died the last of August 1865. Mr. Shaw was married again May 17, 1866, to Mrs. Celia Drewey, a daughter of Wm. and Mary D. Donakey, who survives him. From this union were born two children, Geo. T. married to Maggie Lightfoot and Alma O. married to Harry McMillan.
Politically he cast his suffrage with the Republican party. He was identified with the Methodist Episcopal church as are all his fathers' family in Ireland.
He was a man of much intelligence, considering his limited education. He was a friend of educationand gave his children a fair education, his daughters both haying been teachers, in the public schools and in instrumental music. He was a man of strong convictions and hard to change from his opinions, but kind to those who had gained his confidence.

To Mr. Shaw, and those who like him braved the hardships, and endured the deprivations consequent upon the early settlement of this country; who established the schools and churches and maintained them, thus securing to us, who have entered into their labors, a rich heritage of blessings, we owe a debt of gratitude, which we can best pay by treating them with respect due to their age, and worth, while they live and by maintaining and carrying on to complete success, the institutions tHey have bequeathed to us.
Joseph Shaw was 84 years  and 7 months old.    The funeral services , were conducted in the Yorktown M. E church of which he was a faithful member and a liberal supporter, by his pastor,   Rev. John G. Bourn , assisted by Rev. J. V. Finley of the Presbyterian church and Rev. Jesse . B. Bartley, of Shenandoah, on Sunday . May 4th, in the presence of his wife, children, grandchildren and nephews, Robert, William and   George Maxwell, and a large congregation of neighbors, many of whom accompanied the funeral procession   to the Polsley cemetery, where the body was solemnly committed to the ground.

Special to the Herald.
Coin, la , Feb. 13.—This community was saddened Thursday morning with the news of the death of Miss Stella Shaw. She was the twenty year old daughter of Postmaster T. R Shaw and wife. Nearly two months since she was found to be afflicted with appendicitis and it was thought for a time that she would recover without a surgical operation, but it became necessary to make an incision for drainage of the accumulated pus, which was successfully accomplished some three weeks ago. At that time and until her death she was at the rooms in connection with Dr. Gillespie's office, where in spite of skilled care and nursing her condition has been such as to cause her friends to lose hope of her recovery. On Wednesday Dr. Gillespie assisted by Dr. King, of Coin, with Drs. Powers of Clarinda, George of College Springs, and Kellogg of Northboro as council, all of whom had assisted in the first operation, performed a second operation, when they found such conditions as to know that the disease would prove fatal. She came out from under the influence of the anaesthetic and conversed some but owing to her weakened condition she gradually failed till her death at 3 o'clock Thursday morning. Before this disease had fastened itself upon her life she was of a cheerful, lovable nature and at her death leaves many friends among whom she will be missed. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the parents who have been so sorely afflicted by this sorrow added to the death of their son William in December. The funeral was held to day (Friday) at 11 o'clock a, m., at the M. E. church conducted by the pastor, Rev. Walburn. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 13, 1903

The death of this young man was very tragic and lamentable, as he was taken with bleeding at the nose and all the medical skill of the city was unable to prevent or scarcely lessen the flow. In the full vigor of youthful manhood he lay there helpless in the presence of near friends while the life blood ebbed and death only relieved him and them of the anxiety and pain. About three weeks ago he had the first attack at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Shearer, of Clearmont, Mo., but it was checked after the loss of about a pint of blood. Last Thursday he was taken again and soon after brought to this city for treatment, but it continued until death resulted there from. The physicians say it is a very rare case. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon, with short services at the house by Rev. Compton, and also at the grave in the Shearer cemetery, Buchanan township, at 5 p.m., by Rev. W. O. Hatchings.

Mrs E. A. Shepard.
A former Clarinda lady, Mrs. E. A. Shepard, died recently at her home in Oakland, the result of an accident. Walking on the street she quickly turned a corner, and, as it happened, stepped in front of an automobile which knocked her down. When the machine was stopped one of its wheels was resting on her abdomen. The driver of the car, J. C. Dong, was not blamed, as it was considered that the accident was unavoidable. When Mrs. Shepard resided in Clarinda her husband was a jeweler on the north side
of the square. Since leaving here he and his family have lived at Oakland, where he has continued in the jewelry business. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 20, 1916

Mrs. Morris finally reached the Sherman family in Omaha by telephone, and received a telegram later that the funeral was to be held in that city Wednesday afternoon. The parents and sister have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The young man was eager to enter service and fight for his country. He leaves many friends here to whom the news of his death came as a sad shock. He was possessed of a pleasant personality and a fine appearing physique.
