Shellenberger was born to Abraham and Eliza (Donney) Shellenberger, Feb. 19, 1869, at Cherry Box, Mo.; died March 29, 1943, at the home of his youngest son (Wallace) in La Junta, Colo.; aged 74 y. 1 m. 10 d. At the age of seven, he with his parents moved from Missouri to Osborne Co., Kans., where he grew to manhood. There, Sept. 13, 1894, he was married to Margaret Graybill. To this union were born 5 sons and 3 daughters. His beloved wife (in 1940), two daughters (Erma, in infancy and Maude in 1939), and the eldest son (Menno in 1921 who died in the Near East as a relief worker) preceded him in death. The other remaining children: Edward, at home near Bryan, Ohio; Ruth (Mrs. Paul Zook) of Seattle, Wash.; Albert of Wooster, Ohio; Peter of Buhler, Kans.; and Wallace of La Junta, survive him. When a young man he united with the Mennonite Church, of which he continued a faithful member to the end of his life. In 1898 he was ordained a deacon of the Church by Bishop S.C. Miller at Kill Creek, Kans., in Osborne Co. Because there was no church organization at this place he moved with his family to Canton, Kans., where the family would have regular church privileges. Sometime later he moved with his family to Hesston, Kans., so the children might enjoy the advantages of a Christian education offered by Hesston College. He with his wife had the pleasure of seeing their children - one by one - graduate from this school and all but one become teachers in the public schools. He served the Canton, Hesston, and the Limon congregations faithfully as deacon. At Limon, Colo., he also served as minister and pastor for several years. He was an humble follower of the Lord, faithful and devoted in his services to his family, his church, and his community. His life was wholly dedicated - in deeds which he did and the words which he spoke - to the cause of Christ and to the welfare of his fellow men. At the close of a day's work his spirit returned to the God who gave it; so up to his last hour upon earth "he went about doing good," even as his Master whom he followed. His sudden departure is a loss to us all. The sorrowing family, the Church, and a host of neighbors and friends mourn this loss, but in reverence and humility we submit to the will of God knowing that He doeth all things well. Funeral services were held in the La Junta Mennonite Church April 2, 1943, at ten o'clock in the morning and at the Fairview Cemetery, Colorado Springs, the same afternoon. Here he was laid to rest beside his wife, who had gone home a few years earlier. Services were in charge of Bro. L.C. Miller assisted by Bros. Allen H. Erb and E.E. Showalter. at La Junta, Colorado.
