BIOGRAPHY: Larue Perene Shaver was born on a farm in Rutland township (Ohio), and at an early age evinced such a fondness for pictures that his leisure time was usually spent in delineating the familiar objects around him with whatever medium that was at hand. It was not until he had finished his education in the ordinary branches that he began the serious study of art, and entered the Academy Of Fine Arts at Toledo, Ohio, as a pupil of Edmund H. Osthaus, now one of America's leading animal painters. The greater part of three years was spent in study with Mr. Osthaus either in the studio or out of doors sketching from nature. He then opened a studio of his own in Ottawa in the Hess Building, where he remained until the beginning of the present year, when he removed to the Colwell block on La Salle street, where he is now very pleasantly located, and will be pleased to have his friends, or any one interested in art work, call. Mr. Shaver's work as an artist, either in the portrait or other lines of artwork, is too well and favorably known to need special mention, but easily ranks with the best in this part of the state.
