Frederick G. Mellor, Superintendent of Shenango Plant, Dies of Heart Attack

Word was received in East Liverpool today of the death in New Castle, Pa., last Thursday of Frederic G. Mellor, superintendent for a number of years of the Shenango Pottery Company, and a well known figure in the pottery industry. He had arisen from bed and was moving about when a heart attack brought his collapse. The physician who was called said that death had come almost instantly. His friends who had known of his failing health were not surprised when told of his death, although deeply lamenting this passing.
He was a member for a number of years of the Labor Committee of the United States Potters Association, and a splendid member, Secretary Charles F. Goodwin stated, one who was not only well thought of by his associates, but by the members as well of the Association in general. The late W. E. Wells, Chairman of the Labor Committee had often spoken commendably of his work as a committeeman and as a practical potter. Mr. Mellor was a native of England, (missing text due to age of paper)… the pottery business with his father in Trenton, N. J. His father was one of the pioneers of the pottery industry in the East and will be remembered, perhaps, by a few of the older potters in Trenton and other sections of the trade.
In his early days Mellor worked at the old Crescent pottery and later became associated with the late Charles Howell Cook of the Cook Pottery Company. He was vice president and general manager of the Company for about 25 years. The Company operated plants at Kittanning and Ford City, Pa., as well as in Trenton.
In 1913, he established a new connection with the Wheeling Tile Company at Wheeling, W. Va. He remained with the title company two years then went to the Warwick China Co., and alternated between the company's Wheeling and New Cumberland plants. He left Wheeling in 1920 to become associated with James M. Smith of the Shenango Pottery at New Castle, and that association continued during the remainder of his active career as a potter.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of New Castle, and superintendent of the Sunday School for several years. His church work and his prominence in the industry and fraternal circles brought him a wide and influential circle)s) of friend.
The following children survive: Miss Mary E. Mellor, at home, Miss Frances H. Mellor, of New Castle and Maplewood, N. J., Mrs. L. A. Galbraith, of Maplewood, N. J., and Alfred H. Mellor of New Castle. Three grandchildren and two sisters also survive. The sisters are Mrs. Annie Read(e) and Mrs. Catherine Brock Hartmann, of Trenton.
