Biographical history
Rev. William Isaac Shaw was born on April 6, 1841, in Kingston, Ontario.
He was a clergyman. He was educated at Queen's College, Kingston, the Victoria University, Cobourg (B.A., 1861, M.A., and LL.B, 1864), and at McGill University, Montreal (LL.D., 1887). Originally intended to study law, he entered the ministry of the Methodist church in 1864 and was ordained in 1868. He served at several churches in Belleville, Lachine, Hemmingford, and Montreal. In 1873, he assisted in the founding of the Wesleyan Theological College in Montreal and became its instructor. In 1877, he was appointed Professor of Greek, and in 1894, a principal. In 1888, he became a member of the Council of Public Instruction for the Province of Quebec, and in 1890, the Board of Protestant School Commissioners for Montreal. He served as a Vice-President of the Lord's Day Alliance. In 1880, he received an honorary M.A. degree from McGill University.
In 1869, he married Sarah Patterson (1842–1938). He died on March 11, 1911, in Montreal, Quebec.
