SHAW - Shaw, Mills, Miller, Tucker, Irvine, Robnet #10814: Portrait and Biographical Record of LaFayette and Saline Counties Missouri; Chicago: Chapman Bros. 1893, Pages 653 and 654. Nelson Co KY. Fieldin L. Shaw, deceased, was one of those men whom it is well to know, for his influence had power to aid the struggler along the devious pathway of life, and his sympathy was ever ready for all who found that pathway a weary one. A straightforward, unassuming man, the good that was said of him during his life was said by others rather than himself, and now there are many friends and relatives who are ready to speak for the lips that could not if they would, and that if they were able to do so would be very modest in their claims for the noble man whom we desire to give due honor in these pages. Mr. Shaw was born in Nelson County, Ky., in 1811, and was the youngest in the family, who were as follows: Baker, who lived and died in Kentucky, where he reared a family; Jefferson, who came to Platte County in 1839, and resided there until 1851, when he moved his family to Oregon, where he lived many years; Sadonia B.; Nancy, who married a Baptist preacher; Anna, wife of Mr. Mills [sic; Miller]; and Fieldin L., who came to this State in 1839. Mr. Shaw was married in Kentucky, his bride being Catherine Miller, whose parents, brothers and sisters, all came to Platte County, Mo., in 1839, the year of Mr. Shaw's removal there. Until 1843, Mr. Shaw remained in Platte County; after that year he located in Andrew County, where he lived till 1862, when he went to Illinois and remained there until 1866, then came to Saline County, where he purchased two hundred and sixty acres of land and engaged successfully in farming. During the war he lost all his property, but this misfortune had no power to make him misanthropic or selfish; in spite of it he continued the same generous hearted, kindly man, whom to know was to respect and esteem. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw counted nine children among the blessings that God gave them. Three of these children were born in Kentucky, and all reached maturity. On the family tree we find: Sadonia B., the eldest; William M., of Saline County, whose biography is given elsewhere; Jefferson R., who was killed in the battle of Pea Ridge, in Arkansas, being with Price at that time; Joel G., now a successful fruit-grower in San Diego, Cal.; Samuel M.; David F., of Washburn, Tex.; Elizabeth, wife of H.S. Tucker; N. Jennie, wife of Robert Irvine; and Jonathan M., of Washburn, Tex. William M. and Jefferson were both in the Confederacy during the war. Samuel Shaw was born in Platte County, Mo., in December, 1844, and was with his father until nearly twenty-tree years of age, aiding in the support of the family. He and his brothers helped to pay for the home. Samuel was educated at the William Jewell College, and was married in 1880, Miss Mollie Robnet, of Boone County, becoming his wife. Her father, Noah H. Robnet, was a pioneer of that county. Mr. Shaw, Jr., taught school ten years after leaving college, devoting all his time to his profession, and proved himself a worthy son of an exceptional father, for it was one of Fieldin Shaw's characteristics that he was faithful in all he did, and there is no more unselfish and no grander calling than that of the earnest, conscientious teacher. Mr. Shaw now owns a farm of one hundred acres of good land. His children are three in number: Annie O., F. Parker and Marion A. S.M. Shaw became interested in the People's party in the fall of 1890, and has since been actively identified with it. He and his wife are members of the Baptist Church, of which denomination the father was also an active member. Fieldin Shaw was a Democrat in politics, but was not active in party work. He was a liberal supporter of schools and churches, as well as other benevolent institutions, and, indeed, was ready to give a helping hand to every worthy cause. He was a man who could be relied upon under all circumstances, whose word was as good as his note, whose influence was always on the side of right as he believes it, and he was clear-sighted and charitable at all times; his friendship was true and lasting, and his faith in God lead him down to the verge of the river, and, we doubt not, safely across to the other side.

NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 10810 JEFFERSON CO - GEORGE P. CRAMER - Cramer, Sells, Crane, Fremont, Webb, Donney, Caldwell, Doner, Mitchell, Garninghouse #10810: Biographical and Genealogical History of Appanoose and Monroe Counties, Iowa. New York: Lewis Pub. Co.,1903. George P. Cramer As the gentleman above named has been a resident of Iowa since 1849, three years after the state's admission into the Union, he is entitled to the designation "early pioneer," and also to the respectful consideration which attaches to that name everywhere. The variety of Mr. Cramer's pursuits, his large experience with men and affairs, and the adventures that have befallen him during his long career make him an unusually entertaining companion, and a pleasant evening may be passed any time by one who induces Mr. Cramer to relate his experiences. He can tell stories of what happened while he was an officer of the law arresting criminals; he knows how to keep hotel from twenty years' experience in that business; as proprietor of a transfer company he has come in constant contact with that irritable quantity called the traveling public. But above all, Mr. Cramer once had charge of a circus and was successful in its management. He sold his circus to Sells Brothers. Knowing that others will be interested in such a man, pains have been taken to obtain the main details of his life, which will now be unfolded in consecutive order. The genealogy will be started with the grandparents on either side, both of whom were Pennsylvanians of some note in their day. Christopher Crane, the maternal grandfather, served as a soldier in the war of 1812, and paternal grandfather Cramer, who spelled his name with an initial K, was a minister in the Lutheran church. The latter had a son, Christian J. Cramer, who was born at the family home in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and after he grew up learned the trade of a harnessmaker. He married Barbara Crane, of Huntington, and later settled in Blair county, Pennsylvania, where he spent some years in the prosecution of his regular calling. It was while his parents resided in Blair county that their son, George P. Cramer, was born, March 16, 1834, and he spent the first fifteen years of his life in the place of his nativity. In 1849 the family migrated to the distant state of Iowa by the somewhat crude and mingled methods of travel then in vogue, and after their destination was reached a home was established in the county of Fairfield, Jefferson township. They moved on a farm, but came to Albia in the spring of 1850. George P., not finding the opportunity he wanted near home, went over to Fort Des Moines and secured a job of hauling sawlogs. This, however, he kept up only two months and then began looking around for something more suitable to his taste. Albia, now the prosperous capital of Monroe county, was at that time a mere hamlet, but Mr. Cramer determined to cast his lot with what seemed to be a promising place and located there in the fall of 1849. Securing a clerkship in a dry goods store, he supported himself from his salary for two years. The father having reopened his harness ship at that place, the son joined him and spent two years as assistant manager and salesman. The termination of this period brought him to the completion of the nineteenth year of his age, at which time he made his first important business venture. Beginning as a buyer and shipper of livestock at Albia in 1853, his business grew with the town, and Mr. Cramer was one of the important dealers in this industry until 1866, when he closed out. His next venture was in the dry goods business, which he conducted at Albia two years and disposed of for the purpose of organizing a circus. This move seemed to be out of his line and caused some wonder among Mr. Cramer's friends, but he showed that he knew what he was doing and soon had his knights of the ring and sawdust, his accomplished equestrians, his fun-making clowns and other wonders going all over the country and showing to crowded tents. That he was making a success of it is amply proved by the fact that the great aggregation knows as Sells Brothers bought him out of 1870. After this exciting experience Mr. Cramer settled down to the more peaceful pursuit of hotel keeping, and for almost twenty-three years made the Cramer Hotel one of the most popular stopping places at Albia. In connection with the hostelry he conducted a bus and transfer company, of which he is still in active control. Though a lifelong Republican, having cast his maiden presidential vote for John C. Fremont, the party's first candidate, his office holding has been limited to membership in the city council and service as constable and deputy sheriff. On April 26, 1856, Mr. Cramer was married to Miss Rachel Webb, whose ancestry is deserving of more than a passing notice. Her great-grandparents, Adrian and Lucinda Webb, were Virginians, who removed to Ohio early in the nineteenth century. Among their children was a son named John, who served as a substitute for his father in the war of 1812 and drew a pension. He owned a farm in Preble county, Ohio, and there, on the 28th of September, 1818, was born to him a son named Jacob. The latter remained under the paternal roof until the completion of his twentieth year, when he went to Iowa and in the fall of 1838 located in Van Buren county. Not being satisfied with the situation, he "about-faced" and went to Rush county, Indiana, and a few years later to Jefferson county, in the same state. In the spring of 1846 he returned to Iowa, took possession of a farm in Monroe county and operated it until elected clerk of the court, in which office he served three terms. In 1855 he went to California, spent two years there and in July, 1857, reappeared at his home in Albia after a tedious trip across the plains. In 1860 he took another trip west this time on a prospecting expedition, which lasted about eighteen months, and since then Mr. Webb has resided at Albia. In 1840 he was married to Sarah J., a daughter of David and Susan (Donney) Caldwell, natives of Kentucky, who died in Iowa. One of the children by this marriage was Mrs. Rachel Cramer, who was born in Rush county, Indiana, December 4, 1840, and died in Albia, Iowa, December 22, 1882, leaving three children. W.P. Cramer, the youngest of these, was born in Jefferson county, Iowa, April 13, 1863, and died in Albia in 1895. The first child was Anna, now the wife of Sheriff John Doner, of whom a sketch is printed in another part of this volume. The second of the children was Emma, who married Thomas Mitchell and has one child. March 22, 1888, Mr. Cramer contracted a second marriage, with Melissa Garlinghouse, a native of Kentucky, by whom he has two children: George G., born July 12, 1889, and Elsie A., born December 27, 1891. The family enjoys cordial welcome in the best circles of Iowa society. He is also prominent in connection with the fraternal orders, having been a Mason for twenty years and a member of the Knights of Pythias almost from the incorporation of the organization, which he joined when there were only twenty-one in the state.

He was the first emigrant, direct to Cass County, from the Old Dominion State. He first located in Morgan County, near Arcadia, and remained there until his removal to Virginia Precinct, in 1853, settling on section 28. He raised a family of three sons and four daughters; five of his offspring having died in infancy. Of these, William T., and Adam C., are still residents of Cass County. William T. was born Nov. 6, 1839. In 1861, he entered the Union army, and was mustered in at Springfield, and assigned to the 114th Ill. Vol. Infantry Co. D. The regiment did valiant services in the department of the lower Mississippi, and was engaged in several lively battles, including the forty days' campaign before Vicksburg. Mr. Price was taken prisoner at Grand Tower, Miss., June 10, 1864, and confined at Andersonville, Millen, and Florence prisons, for about eight months, and finally paroled in February, 1865. He was then furloughed for thirty days, reported again to his regiment, and received his discharge at the expiration of his term of enlistment, Aug. 13, 1865. Mr. Price was married Dec. 29, 1860, to Miss Rachel Augusta Marshall, daughter of William Marshall (deceased). Mr. Marshall was also one of the early pioneers of Cass County, and located and owned at one time a large landed estate, a portion of which Mr. Price now owns and lives upon. James Marshall, Sen., and father of William Marshall, came to Cass County as early as 1825, from Kentucky, and was a native of Woodford County. Mrs. Price is the eldest of her father's family; Miss Jennie M. was next, and Louise W. (deceased 1863), was the third. William T. Price is an active, industrious, and successful farmer, as is his next younger brother, Adam C. Price, who was born in May 16, 1844, in Morgan County. He was the third child of the family, attended the common schools of Cass, and commenced farming for himself at twenty years of age. He married Miss Ruth Bacon, daughter of Ira Bacon, a farmer of Arcadia, Morgan Co., in November, 1864. Mr. Bacon is a native of Connecticut, married Ann Christie, a native of the Empire State. Mrs. Price is the oldest of the family of eight children. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Price have eleven children, as follows: Ann, Thomas, Edwin, Harry, Minnie, Della, Adam, Frederick, Bertie, Archie, and Mary.

Kansas; a son of Julius Wilhoit, who was among the first white settlers of the county, and a native of Virginia, but had resided for a number of years in Jefferson Co., Ky., before removing to Illinois; he came to Edgar Co. in 1830, and settled in what is now Kansas Tp., where he died in 1833; his wife survived him thirty-five years; they raised a family of seven children, four of whom are still living. The subject of this sketch was born April 18, 1821, and was thrown upon his own resources when a mere boy; but, imbued with an iron will, and possessed of energy and industry, he determined to achieve success. The struggle was a hard one for a number of years, but when finally a start was obtained, prosperity followed; he has been an eye-witness to the great change that has taken place in the community and has seen it pass from a wild and desolate waste, to a thickly-settled and well-developed country, always taking an active interest in public matters pertaining to the good of the country in which he lives; Mr. W. resides on the homestead farm where his father settled forty-eight years ago, and which is one of the finest homes in the county; he owns in this township upward of one thousand acres of fine land; a large tract of land in Texas; is an extensive stock dealer, and stockholder in the Kansas National Bank, and is considered one of the solid men of Edgar Co.; there are but few who can look back over their past lives with more satisfaction than can Mr. W., notwithstanding he has borne the brunt of many a hardship and privation, the result of which is a large property, a pleasant family and a happy home. He was married March 18, 1847, to Miss Angeline Cornwell, daughter of Jeremiah Cornwell, an early settler of the county; they have a family of seven children - Sarah E., Cornelia F. (now Mrs. F.

The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville, 1928. Madison Co. The traits of his distinguished father were manifest in the career of Edmund Tutt Burnam, whose life record was written in terms of honor and success. He was a talented member of the Richmond bar, a power in local politics, and was the recipient of many important trusts, all of which he discharged with characteristic thoroughness and fidelity. Mr. Burnam was born May 15, 1864, in Richmond, Kentucky, and was one of the eight children of Curtis Field and Sarah Helen (Rollins) Burnam. His father was an eminent lawyer who also figured conspicuously in public affairs, and a detailed account of his life is published elsewhere in this volume. The subject of this sketch supplements his public school training by a course in Central University at Richmond, Kentucky, and completed his studies in the University of Virginia, from which he won the degree of LL. B. After his admission to the bar, he began the practice of law in Richmond. He was felicitous and clear in argument, presenting his contention in the strongest possible light, and could summon all the powers and call them into action with unusual readiness. However, he was never an aggressive practitioner, preferring other lines of business. He was at one time an efficient teller at the Madison National Bank; was a great reader of newspapers and was especially fond of politics. He was a man of decided convictions and had the courage to say anywhere what he believed, yet he did it in a way not to give offense. He was everybody's friend and everybody was his friend. Mr. Burnam was a strong adherent of the republican party and at various times acted as chairman of the Madison county central committee. He was elected to the Kentucky assembly during the celebrated Hunter-Blackburn contest for senatorship and was instrumental in promoting much constructive legislation, exhibiting at all times a zealous and watchful regard of public rights. During the administration of Governor Bradley he was deputy insurance commissioner and subsequently was appointed referee in bankruptcy for Madison, Clark and Estill counties, acting in that capacity until his demise ion August 5, 1911. He displayed rare qualities as a public servant and his life in its various phases stood the test of intimate knowledge and close associates.

The others are Florence Kennedy, who was born November 2, 1902; and Jessie Graddy, born January 7, 1910. Mrs. Burnam resides in the family home, "Yorick," on Lancaster avenue and takes a deep interest in matters conducive to Richmond's welfare and progress.

Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1882. Fleming Co. WILLIAM LYNN, deceased, was one of the oldest settlers of Cass County, and one who lived to see it come up from a wilderness state to its present condition of advanced civilization and whose portrait appears in this work, was born Nov. 17, 1800, in the northern part of Pennsylvania. He was the second son of William and Elizabeth (Laird) Lynn. His father was a Pennsylvania German, a miller by trade, also owning a farm. He served his country in the war of 1812 as one of the "minute men," and was present at the celebrated victory of Commodore Perrv, on Lake Erie. At the close of the war he removed with his family to Fleming County, Ky., afterward to Nicholas County, where he remained until his death. Wm. Lynn left home at the age of fourteen, and was apprenticed to a millwright, serving four years and seven months. He followed his trade and milling for about twenty years, working in Kentucky, Ohio, and Illinois. In 1825 he came to Richland, Sangamon County, Ill., and built a flour and grist mill, and run it for four years for the Broadwell Bros. In the spring of 1830, memorable as the year of the "deep snow," he came to the Sangamon Bottom, and entered 160 acres of land five miles northeast of the present site of Chandlerville. This was the second piece of land entered in this valley. In 1831 he moved on the land and began improvements. He remained eighteen months, and then returned to Richland, and run the mill four years longer. It was claimed that the first barrel of superfine flour ever sold in the city of Springfield was made by Mr. Lynn in this mill. In 1837 he returned to the farm, and quit the milling business for life. In 1846 he sold his first land, and purchased land further up the valley, where he remained to his death which occurred Oct. 24, 1875. He first introduced the short horned Durham cattle into this part of the country, greatly improving the stock of the community. At his death he was the owner of about 1,000 acres of land. His marriage occurred on the 12th of June 1823, to Miss Sarah Huse, in Brown County, Ohio. She was the mother of nine children. She was born in Brown County, Ohio, Aug. 18, 1806, and died March 28, 1877. For more that forty years those old veterans served as faithful soldiers of the cross in the Methodist Church. A consistent walk, and a faithful training in the fear of God, has not been without its fruit in the lives of their children. Two daughters and one son are members of the Baptist Church, and two sons are Methodists. SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
