Obituary from the Shreveport Times newspaper, July 14, 1943, Wednesday, p. 7:

Funeral services for Joseph Shelton Harrelson, 49, of 6000 Southern Avenue, will be held in the Rose-Neath funeral chapel at 5 p.m. today. Burial will be in the Veterans of Foreign Wars plot in Greenwood Cemetery under the direction of that organization.

Mr. Harrelson died suddenly Monday afternoon after a long illness. He was a second lieutenant in the First World War, served overseas, and recently had been receiving treatment at the Veterans' Hospital in Alexandria. For several years he has served as a postman at the local post office.

He is survived by his widow; two daughters, Billie Mae and Anette Harrelson of Shreveport; four sons, Lieut. Joseph S. Harrelson, Jr., in the Army, Eugene Harrelson, in the Navy, and Andrew Thomas Harrelson and William Harrelson, both of Shreveport.
