About Ora

 


Ora Shaw
 

Ora and John Shaw lived in this home together in Corpus Christi!  There are many stories told about this home and its location and this image pretty much says it all for me. The rainbow like reflection shines through as if the spirit of my ancestors was right there with me through this inspiring moment in time and history.  The house has undergone many changes through the years, but it still remained strong and standing on its stilts until 2005.

Ora, the woman I was named after is Grandma Stella's last born child of 17 children. 
 

 


 

 

One of the first things on my list of things to do upon arriving in Texas was to visit the home that my Great Grandmother Ora lived in (pictured above).  "The home is located on Broadway across the street from the railroad track" the way it's described by those that knew. As luck would have it I was able to visit and take a picture of the home before it was destroyed.  The home was demolished in 2005.
