Arrived Home

Some of the veterans expected in the city got in on Sunday and joined their families, who were hardly expecting them home until today. Those who arrived were William W. Bell, William Keighley, Samuel Scott, Francis George Westacott and Harry Shaw. Secretary MacDonald of the Soldiers’ Aid said this morning that there would be arrivals almost every day for some time now, and it was almost impossible to keep track of the men as they come in.

Veteran of Two Wars, H. Shaw Dies Suddenly

Harry Shaw, one of the last of the South African War veterans residing here, died very suddenly this morning at the home of his daughters, Mrs. H.E. Brooker, 221 Grand Street.  Mr. Shaw, who was also a veteran of the Frist World War, was very well-known in veterans’ and fraternal circles.

Born at Berwick-on-Tweed, England, 70 years ago, he came to Brantford in 1910.  A moulder by trade, he worked at the Massey-Harris Company as long as health permitted. He enlisted for the First World War here and in 1916 was wounded.  He returned to Canada on demobilization and went back to work at the Massey-Harris plant.

Mr. Shaw was active in Free Masonry.  He was a member of Brant Lodge, A.F. and A.M., a 32nd degree Scottish Riter and a member of Mocha Temple Shrine.  He was also a member of the Ex-Imperials’ Association and the Moulders’ Union.

Mr. Shaw was most highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends.  He had spent much time in Christie Street and Sunnybrook Hospitals and suffered much.  He bore it all, however, with much courage and great fortitude. Recently he came home and was in fairly good health.

Mr. Shaw is survived by one daughter, Mrs. H.E. (Grace) Brooker; two grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. George Young in England.

Mr. Shaw is resting at the Beckett Funeral Home, where a service will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 3.30.  Interment will be in Mount Hope Cemetery.
