| dc.description.abstract | This newsletter centers on the enduring legacy of Francis Marion Shaw. Despite this profound disability, Shaw demonstrated immense courage and stamina, successfully clearing and cultivating multiple plantations and raising a large family with his wife, Rachel Moore Allen Shaw, whom he married in 1866. The publication highlights two key events: a tragic murder-suicide witnessed by Rachel on their farm on September 21, 1900, where a sharecropper shot his wife and then himself, and a solemn dedication ceremony held on August 8, 1998, where descendants honored Shaw with a government marker and iron cross at his final resting place. The newsletter underscores Shaw's heroic post-war life, celebrating his strength and will, and encourages family contributions to preserve their shared history. | en_US |
