Death of Robert Shellabarger of Typhoid Fever
Mr. Robert R. Shellabarger, Judge Shellabarger's son, died at 5 o'clock this morning of typhoid fever. His sister, Elizabeth, died but a week or so ago of this same disease and Robert was very ill at the time of her death. It was hoped, though, that he was past the crisis and his recovery was confidently expected by his friends, and so his death was more or less unexpected.

Mr. Shellabarger was a trifle over 25 years old and leaves a widow and one child, 7 months old. The funeral services will be at his father's residence, 812 Seventeenth Street, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Bartlett of the New York Avenue Church will officiate and Messrs. Rudy, Wilson, Higgins, Ricketts, Vanderburg and Dr. Harban will be the pallbearers. The remains will be taken to Oak Hill Cemetery, where his sister Elizabeth's remains still lie in a vault and the son and daughter will both be buried tomorrow afternoon.
