Harry E. Shaw - Great Council of Red Men 1901 - Inquirer 26 May 1901

IN MEMORIAM.

HARRY E. SHAW GREAT REPRESENTATIVE.

On the 22d sun, Flower Moon, G. S. D. 410, the Great .Spirit called from among us Great Representative Harry E. Shaw, of Pennsylvania. Brother Shaw at the time of his decease was serving his third term in the Great Council of the United States as a Representative from the Great Coun cil of Pennsylvania. .

Quiet in his demeanor, he was, nevertheless, an active participant in the affairs of this Great Council, and was greatly esteemed by all its members.

To his widow we extend our heartfelt sympathies in this, the hour of her affliction.

GREAT REPRESENTATIVE HARRY E. SHAW 

Past Sachem Harry E. Shaw, of Pennsylvania, was admitted into the Improved Order of Red Men in Buck Moon, G. S. D. 392, as a charter member of Sakima Tribe, No. 9, of Philadelphia; was elected Junior Sagamore and advanced through the various stations in the Tribe. He was admitted into the Great Council of Pennsylvania, Beaver Moon, G. S. D. 393, representing his Tribe at the session held at Pottsville. His popularity as a member soon won for him the recognition of that body and his services as an appointed Great Chief and as a member of the Committees on Finance and Law and Usage and on the Board of Appeals placed him in line of promotion. He was elected and served as Representative to the Great Council of the United States for three terms. Believing that his work as a Red Man should cover other hunting grounds than that of Sakima, he asso ciated together a number of friends and organized Yolo Tribe, No. 377, of which he was a member at the time of his death. While in the midst of his duties his spirit was called away to the land of Ponemah. He was a true friend, a loving brother and a devoted comrade.
