Latrobe Builetin, sent by Nancy Moore Keir Wednesday, November 28, 1923 Prominent Young Man is Dead Contracted Lung trouble in the Service A long and valiant fight against a disease which had come upon him while he was in the service of his country during the war, came to an unsuccessful end yesterday, when William B. Shoup, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Shoup, of Bradenville died from lung trouble at Tucson, Arizona, whither he had gone, a month ago, in pursuit of health. Mr. Shoup was 35 years of age. When a young man he was located in the ticket office at Bradenville and later transferred to Pittsburgh, where he won several promotions, finally becoming one of the assistants to the chief clerk in the Union Station. During the war he enlisted and was assigned in the traffic department of the Navy, and it was while in the serving that he contracted tuberculosis. He spent a year in a government hospital in North Carolina, and had just begun his third year in the hospital at Tucson, after having spent the summer months at the home of his parents. He had many friends, both in the Bradenville section and around Latrobe, and was a young man of fine character. He is survived by his parents, a sister, Anna, and four brothers, Louis, Levi, Harry and Lemon. He was a brother of the late Earl who was murdered on the evening of July 4, 1922. The body will be brought home under Governmental escort, and it is expected that the funeral services will be held the forepart of the coming week.
