Coroner A. E. STINSON was called and pronounced death was due to heart trouble. Mr. Shott's death was entirely unexpected and came as a shock to his family and many friends in this city. Mr. Shott, whose work during the past few weeks had overtaxed his strength, had been sitting on the porch of his home with his wife Sunday evening. About 8:15 he got up after hearing a disturbance among his chickens and went to investigate. Mrs. Shott did not think anything of the occurrence when her husband did not return, thinking that perhaps he had walked to the Erie depot as was his almost nightly custom to chat with his friends and to examine his company mail. Mrs. Shott retired but became alarmed when her husband did not return after 11 o'clock. Walking to the back yard of her home she found her husband had fallen dead on the cement walk, his body partially resting against the fence around the chicken yard. Mrs. Shott summoned help. The body of her husband was carried into the home. Coroner Stinson was called and after an examination declared Mr. Shott's death had occurred three hours before his body was found. Gustav Frederick SHOTT was born in Streino, Province of Prussia, Germany, on Oct. 9, 1865, and came to this country with his parents, Frederick and Dora SHOTT, when he was but two years of age. His family settled on a farm near North Judson. When he was 16 years of age Mr. Shott accepted employment with the Erie railroad, successfully holding foremanships of road maintenance men on the sections at North Judson, Leiters Ford, Delong, Monterey and Rochester. His section at Rochester won several prizes offered by the Erie. Survivors are the widow who was Cordelia PONTIOUS, whom he married in this city on January 3, 1901, two sons, Robert [SHOTT], of Chicago, and Hubert [SHOTT], South Bend, two daughters, Mrs. Forest MOORE, of South Bend, and Mrs. Russell MURPHY, of this city, five brothers, Henry [SHOTT], John [SHOTT], Robert [SHOTT] and William [SHOTT] of North Judson, and Charles [SHOTT] of Monterey, and one sister, Mrs. Joe EGGERT, of Medaryville, and two grandchildren. The deceased was a member of the German Lutheran church at North Judson and the Railroad Mens Benefit Association of Huntington. Funeral arrangements will be made as soon as word is received from relatives at distant points. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Tuesday, July 23, 1929 Funeral services for the late Gus SHOTT, who was found dead Sunday night by his wife, will be held from his home at 220 West Third Street at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Paul MADER, pastor of the Lutheran church, will be in charge assisted by Rev. D. S. PERRY of the Presbyterian church. Burial will be made in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
