The Family of Francis Marion Shaw, Volume 4 Number 3, july 1995. From the Berrien County Historical Foundation Collection at Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections.

This issue primarily addresses a discrepancy in Francis Marion Shaw's death date. While his headstone and Folks Huxford's Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia record his death as January 1, 1922, newly examined estate papers, brought forth by Judge John Pat Webb, reveal conflicting evidence. These documents include a tax receipt from Francis Marion Shaw dated December 20, 1922, a doctor's bill for his "last illness" on September 20, 1922, and a casket bill sworn to on November 15, 1923, all indicating he lived longer. The editor concludes that Francis Marion Shaw likely lived an additional year, with later documentation confirming his death on September 21, 1922.
