G, 43rd Massachusetts Infantry The oldest of three children born to Micah Shaw, an Abington, MA Shoe Cutter, and his first wife Susan Bennett, who died in 1849. The son Micah married Ellen Bromwell Damon, the daughter of Zachariah and Rhoda A. (Phillips), at Abington, MA on Sep. 29, 1861. They were the parents of one child, Helen Amelia, who was born June 12, 1863. Micah was a 23-year-old South Abington Shoe Stitcher when he enlisted for nine months service on August 28, 1862 and was mustered 15 days later as a Private in Co. G of the 43rd Massachusetts Infantry. His regiment was deployed to New Bern, N.C. in mid-November 1862 and were involved in the “Goldsboro expedition” a month later which resulted in firefights at Kinston and Whitehall. The following spring they marched on Little Washington in an attempt to lift a siege by Confederate forces, which proved unsuccessful. The regiment returned to Massachusetts toward the end of July and mustered out of service at Readville, MA on July 30th. Following his military service Micah operated a livery stable and later a hotel in Abington, where he was a member of the Masonic order, being initiated into the Puritan Lodge on March 25, 1885. By 1900, however, he was once again working as a Shoe Stitcher, a sign the hotel business had failed. Any income was supplemented by an Invalid pension, based on disabilities attributable to his army enlistment, which was granted effective the date of his March 27, 1893 filing. Micah was widowed with the death of his wife Ellen, then 65, at North Hanson, MA on July 29, 1905 due to Dementia and Anemia. Her death certificate confirms her burial at the Village Cemetery in Weymouth on July 31st. Micah was 72 and residing at 32 Appleton St. in Malden, MA when he died of an “Intestinal obstruction.” His death certificate confirms his burial at Whitman on April 4, 1916.
