GEORGE P. SCHELLDORF

(Continued from page 1) missing first part of obituary
that city from which he refrained and came back to Manning in the spring of 1903 and with his brother, W.D. Schelldorf, formed the Schelldorf Brothers Drug Company, handling drugs, jewelry, paints, wallpaper and pianos. He was engaged in this business for 17 years until 1919 when he retired from active business and devoted some time in assisting his sons in their business and in other interests. The last few years he was unable to do any strenuous work and managed to take care of himself until a few months ago. His suffering was at times intense and death came as relief to him.

During his retired life he and his wife enjoyed six winters in California and in 1927 traveled throughout Europe. His daughter Florence and the Misses Anna and Amanda Dau accompanied them.

The funeral services were held Sunday, August 8, 1937, at 2:30 in the Ohde Funeral Home, the Rev. E.J. Hough of Shenandoah conducting the services. Interment was made in the Manning Cemetery.
