Franklin Shellworth

Payette Independent
Thursday, January 25, 1923

It is with great sorrow that we record the death of Franklin Shellworth, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Shellworth of this city. Death, which came after a brief illness, was the result of an apparently successful operation for appendicitis.

Franklin Shellworth was born in Yakima, Washington, July 10, 1910, and died in Payette, Idaho, January 23, 1923. He was in the sixth grade in school and a faithful member of the Sunday School in the Christian church. Beloved alike by pupils and teachers he leaves a place that will be hard to fill. A boy who took life seriously, devoted to his home, and his father's constant companion. The family has all the sympathy that is in our hearts to give them. Franklin leaves to mourn his loss, his father and mother, one sister, and a host of sorrowing friends and schoolmates.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. V. E. Hall, at the Christian church, on Thursday, at 2 p.m. Interment will be in Riverside cemetery.
