Shaw, William

Shaw, William , Farmer, Lake Hayes Farm, Arrow. Mr Shaw was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1854, and when eight years of age came out to New Zealand with his parents by the ship “Mataura.” He was brought up on his father's farm at the Taieri and afterwards removed to the Lakes district, where he worked on a small station for three years. In 1889, Mr Shaw bought his present farm of 200 acres, and he also owns the Arrow Junction Farm of 336 acres. Mixed farming is carried on, on both properties, and particular attention is devoted to horses. Mr Shaw served on the Lower Shotover school committee for several years, and is now a member of the Arrow Presbyterian church committee. He was married, in 1882, to the eldest daughter of the late Mr Robert Frew, farmer, Taieri, and has seven sons and one daughter.
