WALLACE SHEDD DIES IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

Well Known Citizen Who Went West For Health Passed Away Friday At Home of Sister. S. S. Shedd received word this Monday morning that his brother, J. W. Shedd, had passed away last Friday morning at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. G. Graves, in Los Angeles, Cal., to which place he had gone last October in the hope of improved health. Death was Budden, and probably caused by heart failure as Mr. Shedd had received a letter from his brother only about ten days ago in which he stated that he was feeling fairly well and would probably return here shortly.
