SON OF FORMER BERWICK RESIDENT DIES IN OREGON
(Ashland, Ore., Daily Tidings)
Victor B. Shaw, son of Dr. H. M. and Mattie B. Shaw, died at 9.45 Monday evening, May 27, 1929, at the home of his parents on Pioneer Avenue. Death ended a long period of suffering. He died from acute miliary tuberculosis. The youth was born July 5, 1901 at Fossil, Oregon. He was aged 27 years, 10 months and 22 days at the time of his death.
His parents located in Ashland when he was a small child and Victor grew to manhood in this city, attending the public schools here. He was a well-liked handsome youth of real promise when stricken with flu while studying at the Y.M.C.A. in Portland to enter the World War as a wireless operator. Although every effort was made to relieve his condition, he grew gradually worse. Two weeks ago when it became apparent that he could not much longer withstand the ravages of tuberculosis, he was removed from the hospital to the home of his parents. Death came as a welcome relief to the pain-racked body.
The sympathy of the entire community is extended to Dr. h. M. and Dr. Mattie Shaw and their younger son, Marvin, in their bereavement.
