DEATH CALLS ROBERT SHAMBEAU

Robert Shambeau, well known in this city and vicinity, being a native of the Town of Two Rivers, passed away at the home in Chicago Tuesday morning, a victim of pneumonia.

Deceased was born in the Town of Two Rivers, locally known as the Tannery in 1874 where he grew to manhood and then set out to win his way in the world, assuming the occupation of sales manager. He started as traveling salesman for the Zulu Knitting Mill. He was a graduate of the local high school, a member of the class of 1891. His brother, also a member of that class, was at his bedside when death came, being here from his home in California on business.

Robert Shambeau was a conscientious, successful salesman, a man of intellectual bent and high ideals who had a strong faith in the goods he had to sell. In his high school days, as well as throughout his career, he was an ardent student and upright in character.

He leaves a widow, five brothers, Louis and Edward of Two Rivers, Joseph of California, Lafayette of Sturgeon Bay and John of Duluth and three sisters, Mrs. Ernst Schmidt, Mrs. Jos. B. Lafond and Mrs. Charles Johannes.

The remains will arrive here this evening and the funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon from the old homestead now occupied by his sister, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Schmidt.
