Shaw, Jacob

In 1858 he retired from itinerancy, but continued to preach as his strength would permit. He died at his residence in Redding, Conn., in April, 1861. He was a man of superior mind and large information, and a preacher of great acceptability. See Minutes of Annual Conferences, 1862, p. 81.
