Wapello Republican, August 22, 1935, page 1

Hugh Shellabarger, 38, a native of Letts, who has been employed at West Branch for the last three years, was found dead in his car Monday morning. A coroner's inquest pronounced death due to heart failure.

It is believed that he died near 10 p.m., Sunday, shortly after he was seen driving his car into a garage at West Branch. The body was not discovered until early Monday.

Mr. Shellabarger was an employee of the Rock Island railroad for several years, but was transferred to West Branch in 1932.

He never married. Surviving are his mother, and one sister, residing at Letts, and a second sister in Chicago.
