SHELLENBERGER IS KILLED IN FRANCE >From Friday’s Daily. Mr. E.G. SHELLENBERGER of this city received a letter this morning from his brother, L.E. SHELLENBERGER of Beaver City, telling of the death of his son, Corporal James A. SHELLENBERGER, and a nephew of Mr. Shellenberger of this city. He was killed in battle on May 21, was a member of Co. I. 16th infantry, and has been in the service for six years. He was among the first of the soldiers to go to France with General Pershing. The lists show him as having come from Montana where his parents lived at that time but who moved to Beaver City since. Corporal Shellenberger enlisted in Missouri. He was raised by the parents of Mr. Shellenberger here and they grew to manhood together, and were like brothers. Mr Shellenberger here felt the loss keenly as it is just like the loss of a brother, and has the sympathy of all his friends.
