| Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ) Monday, October 13, 1902, p. 5 Death Of Clarence Shaw Clarence W. Shaw, who has lived in Phoenix and the vicinity for several years, died on Saturday night. He came here for his health seven years ago. He was one of the best known amateur photographers in Arizona. A considerable part of his work has been copyrighted. One exceptionally fine piece is the corona of the sahuara. He was about to take up the photography of the plants of the valley for scientific purposes. His chief abiding place in the valley had been along the Arizona canal, where he lived in a tent. He had often expressed a wish that he might be buried there, and it is probable that his friends will carry out that wish. Before coming to Arizona he enjoyed the distinction of having been the youngest captain in the Illinois National Guard. He had also been the inspector of small arms practice of the First regiment, I.N.G., and so efficient was his instruction that a team from that regiment once defeated a team from the regular army. He was thirty-three years old. His mother resides at Chicago. There will be a funeral service this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the parlors of Merryman & Holley.
