Shelton's Garage


TT is often said that the best meclianics are natural mechanics, those who seem gifted in a particular trade. Such is O. F. Shelton, proprietor of Shelton's Garage at Hurst. Mr. Shelton started his garage in 1912 and previous to that had been a switchman at the Bush yards and also followed that work during the war period during the shortage of railroad men, thereby being able to purchase GARAGE more bonds and otherwise assisting with the war work at home.


Mr. Shelton was born in 1888, near Vienna, Johnson County, on a farm, the son of O. F. Shelton. He was married February 16, 1913, to Miss Annie De Near of Harrisburg. Mr. and Mrs. Shel-


ton are the parents of three daughters, Ovale, Mar- vella and Frankie.


The Shelton Garage is full of cars for storage purposes, and has won a reputation for dependable repairing. A large line of Ford parts are carried in stock and many parts for other cars. This garage is the home of the Universal Battery for the surrounding territory. All kinds of battery work is quickly and expert- ly done, as also welding of every kind. Mr. Shelton is making a spe- cialty of electrical work for automo- biles.


As this history is being printed plans are being perfected for a new garage.


A. H. Hesse Charles Brown


A. H. HESSE, postmaster at Cambria, was born at Bremen, Randolph County, Illinois, January 27, 1884, and came to Cambria in August, 1903. He first started in business taking orders for a tea and coffee house, building up a profitable route in the year of 1911. The following year, his suc- cess thus achieved in the soliciting business led him into the grocery business on a larger scale and in 1912 he established a grocery and notion store in Cambria. In May, 1917, he was appointed postmaster of Cambria and moved the office into his store, where it is at present located.


Mr. Hesse was married February 7, 1905, to Miss Julia Jones, and they have five chil- dren, Opal, Clyde, Kenneth, Lucile and May. Mr. Hesse holds membership in the following lodges: I. O. O. F. No. 935; K. of P .; Re- bekah; W. O. W. and the M. W. A. He was among the patriotic citizens who made Cam- bria a patriotic city in all war work.


AMONG the young inen who have come to Cam-


bria and made a success in business is Charles Brown, manager of a garage and general repair shop. Mr. Brown was born in Jackson County, near De Soto, Illinois, in 1892, and started in busi- ness first at Hurst, where he owned a picture show and also managed an electric light plant. In 1916, he removed to Cambria, where he opened a picture theater which he operated very successfully until the summer of 1919, when he sold out to give all luis interest and time to a garage which he had established a few years ago. He handles Goodrich and U. S. Tires and does general repair work.


In 1915 he was married to Miss Ola Holms of Carbondale. They have two children, Orvil and Ann Lee. Mr. Brown belongs to Local Union No. 1349, U. M. W. A., being employed at the mine as a mechanic for some time and still holds his union membership. He is also a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge, and generally active in civil mat- ters that pertain to the advancement of the city.
