William H. SHELTON, a life long resident of this county, died this (Friday) morning at seven o'clock, in his home east of Rochester on the Warsaw road, death coming suddenly. Although he had been sick for some time, it was thought Thursday evening that he was improving.
At four o'clock in the morning Mrs. Shelton and Harry BITTERS, who has been staying with them, realized that the husband was in a very serious condition. They called a physician who arrived at five o'clock when Mr. Shelton became unconscious. Restoratives had no effect and the stricken man died two hours later. Mr. Shelton has been suffering with acute gastritis for months, but a weak heart was the cause of his death.
William Shelton was born in this county May 17, 1849, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel SHELTON. He had three brothers and one sister: Schuyler [SHELTON], who died at 12 years, John [SHELTON] and Horace [SHELTON] and Mrs. Albert BITTERS, all of this city. He was married to Amanda MEEHLIN, who survives him. They had one daughter, Mrs. George HILL of Chicago. For years Mr. and Mrs. Shelton lived on south Main street after which they moved to the twenty acre farm just east of the city limits. Mr. Shelton took great pride in his small farm and made it an ideal place to live. William Shelton was a prominent member of the Presbyterian church of this city, and he took an active part. He was also a member of the Masonic lodge.

Overcome by emotion, the choir at the funeral service of the late William H. SHELTON, broke down Sunday afternoon and were unable to sing. Mr. Shelton had been a member of the body for years, never missing a service. In memory of the deceased the chair which he always occupied, was draped. The services were under the auspices of the Masonic lodge. The members of the K. of P. lodge attended and the Presbyterian church was crowded with friends and relatives.
