The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, October 13, 1922
Several years ago Benjamin Shellhorn had a long sickness during which for days 
his life was dispared of.  Every day was excepted to be his last, but he 
finally recovered and has been in ordinary health for a man of his age, making 
garden and attending his chickens and chores about his home near the 
greenhouse.

Wednesday morning as usual he went to feed the chickens after breakfast, came 
in and lay down upon the bed, where he died soon after.  

Mr. Shellhorn has enjoyed his old age living in his home near the lake, where 
he delighted in fishing, at which he was very successful.  He always seemed to 
be well acquainted with the finny tribe and their whereabouts.  

He is the father of our postmaster, Ed. Shellhorn and Will Shellhorn southeast 
of town, whom he leaves, besides his faithful wife.  Mr. Shellhorn has lived 
in the village since its early life and was a familiar figure on our streets.  

The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the home.  Rev. Lash will 
officiate and burial will be at Lakeside.
