Death year estimated from the following death notice on his father who died in October 1904: Buried Agent Sells at Holdrege. Holdrege, Neb., Oct. 28. - The funeral of F. M. Sells, the B. & M. agent killed at Nebraska City Junction, occurred here today. Mr. Sells began his career as a railroad man at this place, beginning at the bottom. He served in various capacities the two times he was located at this point, being here about two years altogether. He was regarded as a bright promising young man, and his tragic death was appalling to his friends here, especially to the railroad boys with whom be was a great favorite. The funeral today was largely attended and the floral offerings were beautiful. The burial services were under the auspices of the Masonic order. Mrs. Sells' parents reside in this place, and Mrs. Sells has practically grown up here. The heartfelt sympathy of the city is with the sorrow stricken wife. WELL KNOWN IN BARTLEY. Francis M. Sells, agent at Nebraska City Junction, was found lying dead beside the track near the station Tuesday afternoon. Near his body lay that of a tramp shot in the right eye, the agent having received a bullet in his right temple. Both were dead when found. The bodies lay feet to feet and were a hundred yards north of the depot. By the side of Sells lay his revolver with two of the cartridges therein exploded, but no gun was found on or about the other man. The dead tramp, in company with two others, had been hanging about the depot, and the three saw the agent cash a check for $90.00, and it is thought that the three attacked him for the purpose of robbery, and that he killed one and was then killed by one of the other two who afterwards made their escape. One of the tramps was found by a searching posse and claimed that Sells shot one of them and then killed himself. Francis Sells was a former Bartley boy, his parents residing here for a number of years. He was a steady industrious young man and had many warm friends here. He leaves a young wife and infant child to mourn his untimely death. Their first child was buried here about two years ago. -- Inter Ocean. --extracted from the Friday Nov. 4, 1904, issue of The McCook Tribune, 2-11-13 ks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
