Granville Parker Hawes Bowdoin College Obituary

Granville’s son Emory Hawes (31 Jan 1875 NYC – 14 Nov 1904 NYC) was a graduate of Yale ’96 and a lawyer, but died at 29 of chronic heart trouble.

A son of Granville Parker Hawes, Bowdoin, ’60, and Euphemia Anderson Vose, who were married March 15th, 1870, at New York City, and had two other sons, James Anderson Hawes,Yale ’94, and one who died before maturity. Euphemia Anderson (Vose) Hawes (b. July 12th, 1841, at New York City) is the daughter of Charles L. Vose, a merchant and foreign shipper, and Sarah Anthony Anderson, both of New York City.

Hawes prepared at Cutler’s School in New York City. He served as Treasurer of the Freshman Union, took a College Prize of the First Grade in English Composition in Sophomore year, and, as one of the speakers at the Junior Exhibition, received a Second Ten Eyck Prize. In Sophomore year he was offered an editorship on the “Courant,” which he declined, and later he declined a nomination for an editorship on the “Lit.” He was a member of the University Club, D. K. E., and Chi Delta Theta. He was unmarried.

In the fall of 1896 Hawes began the study of the law, at first in the New York Law School, where he remained for about two years, and later in the offices of Messrs. Butler, Notman, Joline & Mynderse, and of Messrs. Curtis, Mallet-Prevost & Colt. He was admitted to the Bar in due course and up to 1902 had an office with the Hon. Theron G. Strong; but owing to a severe illness which left him in delicate health, he never engaged actively in the practice of his profession.

This illness also necessitated his withdrawal from Squadron A of New York, in which he had enlisted at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. Besides Squadron A, he was a member of the Union League Club, the St. Nicholas Society, the Yale Club, the Society of Colonial Wars, and the Society of Mayflower Descendants.

The last two years of his life were spent chiefly in travel and in literary work. He was unable, however, to conquer his malady, and on November 14th, 1904, he died of heart trouble, in New York City. Hawes was a sensitive, reserved sort of man, who never knew many of us intimately, and who avoided, more often than he sought, companionship, so that the news of his death and of the painful struggle which preceded it, came to the Class as a surprise. . . .

“It may interest you to know,” wrote his brother, “that one of the last things he asked for, the day before he died, was to have his Yale class flag brought down to the room he was lying in and hung over his bed.”

ii. Walter W. Hawes   b. 1845 in Corinth, Penobscot, Maine; m. 1879 to Mary [__?__] (b. Mar 1852 Pennsylvania – );

Served in the US Navy during the Civil War

Glen Echo Park

Washington Post, Monday, July 29, 1912
L. D. SHAW IS DEAD.
Was Pioneer in Amusements and Built Glen Echo Park.
Lorenzo D. Shaw, one of the pioneer amusement men of this country, inventor of the famous “dip,” and the man who first built a toboggan slide at Coney Island, died last evening at his residence, 1365 Park Road Northwest, after a lingering illness of six months. Death was due to vesical calculi. Mr. Shaw was 70 years of age.

In the summer of 1882 Mr. Shaw owned, built, and operated a toboggan at Coney Island. This created quite a sensation, and was imitated in amusement parks all over the civilized world. Mr. Shaw also built several amusement devices at Revere Beach, near Boston, but for twenty years, both winter and summer, made his home at Coney Island.

Mr. Shaw came to Washington later and built the devices and buildings at Glen Echo Park. He was the first to conceive the idea of the thrill in mechanical amusement devices, and as a result his world famous “dips” are installed in parks all over the country.

Mr. Shaw was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade, and took an active part in celebrations of a civic nature.

He is survived by his children: Walter P. Shaw, Mrs. Annie Young, Mrs. W. H. Carroll, and Mrs. Lillian Thwing, and his wife, Mrs. Alonzo Shaw.

Funeral services will be at the family home tomorrow at 2PM. Interment will be at Glenwood Cemetery.
