Elbert Miller Shelton '19

"Eb" Shelton died of a heart attack at his home in Statesville, N.C. on Aug. 10. He was born in Statesville and had lived there all his life coming to Princeton from Erskine College. During World War I he joined the Naval Reserve, returning to graduate with the Class in 1919. During junior and senior years he roomed with Bill Baker in 44 Blair.

After graduation Eb was association with his father in the Statesville Furniture Co and then served as president of the Statesville Plywood and Veneer Co. until retirement. A community leader he served 11 years on the City Council, was active in his church, the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce.

"Eb" became one of 1919's most faithful participants at our June reunions together with his love wife Ivetta whom he married in 1927. He was a loyal and generous supporter of the University even though at times perplexed by some of the reports from the campus.

The Class has lost a loyal member and a genial host to those classmates fortunate enough to have visited the Sheltons in Statesville. He had missed recent reunions because of family illnesses but will always be remembered with deep affection by those who were privileged to know him well. The Class extends our sincerest sympathy to his beloved wive, Ivetta.
