1910 OBITUARY: STILL THERE IS NOBODY TO CLAIM BODY OF SHIRLEY

Telegrams to Relatives Fail to Get Response--Remains Held for a Week in Wichita

Wichita, Aug 30-- The body of Clark D Shirley has remained uncalled for at the IW Gill morgue for more than a week. Nobody knows whether it is because of mistaken identity or the indifference of relatives.

Persons believed to be relatives of the deceased and their addresses are known. A son-in-law is said to be AS Krotz, a motor care manufacturer of Chicago, IL. His office address and residence address are both known here. A telegram sent to him last week by Gill brought reply to the effect that Mr Krotz never met the diseased and did not know him. Mr Gill cannot believe that Mr Shirley's daughter who is Mr Krotz's wife, refused to have anything to do about burying the body of her father.

Another message was sent to a nephew, NS Dils of Sweet, ID, but no reply was received. Mr Krotz in his reply advised Mr Gill to wire "Steve" Shirley of Defiance, OH. Mr Gill did so Saturday but has received no message.

Mr Gill sent a message this morning to the Chicago chief of police, asking him to visit the home of Krotz and find out if possible why they refuse to have anything to do with the body.

It has been learned that Mr Shirley's daughter visited him about two years ago. While here she stayed at the Manhattan hotel and Ms Shirley paid her expenses.

Mr Shirley died more than a week ago from old age and the heat. He had worked for George Puls more than fifteen years. Lately he had been a cement contractor and a few days before his death had done work on a walk. He made his home with George Tipton in the South End.

Mr Shirley was in poor circumstances at the time of his death. It was supposed that a telegram to his relatives would straighten out matters, but nothing has been gained so far. Unless word is heard soon from the relatives interment will be made in a Wichita cemetery by friends of the deceased.
