Death Of a Pioneer.

The whole community, and espec-
tally the pioneer residents of West
ern Washington were inexpressibly
shocked by the death of "Uncle''
David Shelton, which occurred, in the
town he had founded in Mason county,
last Monday. The end was wholly un.
expected, although he had been all
ing for some time and he had far ex-
ceeded the ordinary span of life ac-
corded to mortal man. He was in his
85th year.
Mr.. Shelton settled in Portland in
1851 and came to the Sound the sue
ceeding year, and for a long time
made Olympia the home for himself
and large family of sons and daughters.
Nearly a fifth of a century ago he
founded the little city of Shelton,
where he afterward resided.
A large concOurse of people came up
by the City of Shelton Wednesday,
which was met by the Masonic fra.
ternity, and many prominent people
of this city, who testified their re-
spect for the deceased by following
the remains of the distinguished citi-
zen to a resting-place in the City of
the Dead.
David Shelton was a true represent
ative of the hardy class of Intelligent
citizens who blazed the pathway of
civilization in the far West. He was
a man of marked intelligence, indom-
liable will-power, and in his prime
possessed the physical strength neces-
sary to indure the hardships and
privations of frontier life. His pub
lie acts have left their impress upon
the early history of the State and his
private life has been an epic of the
marvellous achievements of the days
when Western civilization was Just
finding q foothold on the western
slope Of the continent.
