"Wid" Shelabarger, son of the late George and Ella Hill Shelabarger, was born at Western, Nebraska, April 29, 1890, and passed away November 17, 1967 at the Pawnee Manor after a year's illness. "Wid" as he was known to his family and friends, came to Pawnee City at the age of six. As a young man, he with several of his friends, was baptized and joined the Christian Church, this during World War I. He was engaged in public works as bridge foreman, also in carpentry until his health no longer permitted. November 9, 1932 he was united in marriage to Burchel Poland. He was preceded in death by his mother, father, three sons, one brother, Charles, one sister, Anna Shelabarger. Left to mourn his death are: his wife, Burchel; three daughters: Mrs. Willadean Blackmore, Eldorado, Kans.; Jo Harline, Mrs. Glenn Schultz; Donna, Mrs. Darrell Thieman, Pawnee City; three sons-in-law, 11 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; one sister, Atha, Mrs. George Marshall, Pawnee City, nieces, nephews and many friends. Funeral services were held in the Wherry Brother's Mortuary, Sunday, November 19, 1967. Officiating was the Rev. R. H. Lingard. Music was furnished by Mrs. John Wherry and Mrs. Richard Turnbull, who sang, accompanied by Mrs. Roland Finkner: "Beyond the Sunset," and "In The Garden." The pallbearers were: Henry Schultz, Harold Thieman, Al Porr, Robert Schilling Sr., Glenn Deweber and George Peckham. Interment was in the Pawnee City cemetery. ********************************************* Wid's first wife's information is as follows: Edna Alice"Peg" Auker Birth 09 Jul 1896 Death 03 Feb 1986 in Norton County, Kansas, USA Willadean Blackmore (Memorial# 54196739) is Wid's daughter from his first marriage. She could also be linked to Wid. Wid also has three sons buried in the Pawnee Cemetery, but I'm not sure they have markers. Their names were Ray, Roy, and Clyde Shelabarger. I've not found them on Find-a-Grave yet. If you can find information on them, it would be great to link them to Wid, as well. Willadean and the three boys were all children of Edna and Wid. His second wife was Burchel Irene Poland Shelabarger Howell. (Thanks to a visitor to Find A Grave for this information!)
