Abstract
This newsletter focuses on Family Feuds that caused significant discord within the family. It details three specific instances: Jesse Shelby "Dock" Shaw's financial dispute with his nephew, Bruner Shaw, which angered Dock's wife, Susie, over an unpaid loan that required the sale of a cow; the controversial burial arrangements for Chester D. Shaw, where his family's insistence on his burial position overrode his third wife Mimmie Parrish's wishes, leading her to be buried elsewhere and leaving a vacant plot beside him for almost a century; and a decades-long, tragic business and legal battle stemming from an undisclosed lien in a sale between Shaw Brothers Corporation and William D. Clements (husband of Effie Shaw Clements), which escalated to the Georgia Supreme Court and ultimately consumed the health and lives of William D. Clements, Effie Clements, and Francis Arthur Shaw.
