CARROLLTON, MISS. Oliver Abbot Shaw, SR. HOMEsubmitted by Paul H. Shaw, August 21 2006
I'm attaching a photo you might want to run in your historical photo section.
It is of a home which still stands on Summitt Street in Winona, and is
currently Lee Funeral Home. Prior to 1921, it was the home of Oliver Abbot
Shaw, sr., of Carrollton, son of Hobart Doane Shaw, Sr. He was Superintendent
of Schools in Winona for 25 years before he left for a job as Dean of
Education at Ole Miss.
I would love to learn more about this home - its builder and other occupants.
If anyone knows anything about it, perhaps they will write your web site.
Relatives in town don't have any information on the house. There is conjecture
that it was built by Winona founder, Col. Moore, but that is a guess. The
photo was taken before 1921, after a snow. The trees and hedgerow have since
disappeared, although the hedge did exist until recently.
Thanks,
Paul Shaw
