INJURIES IN FALL FATAL TO FRANK M. SHAW
Death Comes to Goodrich Line Engineer Saturday Night
Frank Melvin Shaw, Goodrich line engineer who was injured in a fall into the
hold of the new carferry Madison at the yards of the Manitwooc Shipbuilding
Corportation Thursday night, died at the hospital Saturday night without having
regained consciousness. Mr. Shaw suffered a compound fracture of the skull in
his fall from the car deck of the new ferry into the hold, about twenty feet.
Funeral services will be held at Sacred Heart church, with the Rev. Luby
officating Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.
Resident Here 17 Years
Mr. Shaw, who was born at Anaphee, Kewaunee county, August 12, 1870, has been
a resident of this city for seventeen years, having come here from Frankfort,
Mich., in 1910. He had followed the lakes for twenty-five years and at time of
his death was assistant engineer of the steamer Grand Rapids. He was employed
at the yards during the winter when his boat was laid up.
Besides his widow Mr. Shaw is survived by three children, Melvin and Clayton
and Miss Frances, all residing at home. He was a member of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial association, the Maccabees, Sacred Heart and Holy Name societies and
was well and favorably known.
Did He Have Premonition?
That Mr. Shaw may have had a premonition of death is believed by friends because
he had planned not to return to work Thursday night but had done so in expectation
that the work on which he was engaged on the boat would be completed that night
and the next day. He is said to have changed his plans when he learned that the
work could be hurried and finished in a short time. Mr. Shaw did not suffer from
his injuries, having remained in an unconscious state after the accident.
