Mr J H Shott died in Baltimore, Md, Saturday night at 11:40 o'clock. His death was not unexpected, and came as no surprise to those of his relatives and friends who were familiar with his condition. He had been in failing health for some time, and had been under treatment in Baltimore for about two months. Shortly after his arrival at the hospital a delicate operation was found to be necessary and when performed the attending surgeons announced that his case was hopeless and that death was practically inevitable and was likely to occur at any time. Although he suffered untold agony, he was a patient sufferer, took his condition philosophically and awaited the end with much more composure and a greater degree of resignation than is usually displayed by those in like condition.
His wife and two of his brothers - J D and Edward - were at his side when the end came. These, with an aged mother who was too feeble to go to Baltimore, an infant child and H I Shott, (also a brother) survive him.
He was married in 1900 to Miss Clara Bibb, of Hinton, this state, the occasion having the elopement tinge of romance, and the ceremony being performed in Bristol, Tenn. His married life was a thoroughly happy one with the single exception of the death of two children. He was a printer, a member of Bluefield Typographical Union No 644, and up to the time of his recent and last illness was foreman of the job and "ad" departments of the Daily Telegraph. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias.
Mr Shott was born in Staunton, Va, in 1878 and came to this city in 1896, and had made this his home since that time.
Like the majority of young men deceased sowed his share of wild oats in the years before his marriage - not in the sense of debauch but in the lighter vein of sport and open living. However, all this ceased years ago, and after his matrimonial venture he transformed himself into the quiet peaceable citizen of whom any town might feel proud.
Without an enemy on earth, and with a firm faith in the promised hope of better things in the hereafter, the soul of this young man has returned to its maker.
There was perhaps not a better known or a bigger hearted boy in all Bluefield than John Hamilton Shott, and his passage to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns has cast a shadow over the hearts of his relatives and friends that time in its ever hastening course down the ages will not dispel, and the memory of the young man's many good traits of character will live in the hearts and minds of those who knew him best till death stills the pulse and the sepulchre opens to receive us in its everlasting embrace.
The remains were brought to this city this evening on No 1 and taken to the home of his mother in the West End from which place the funeral will be conducted tomorrow morning. Arrangements for the interment had not been completed at the hour of going to press. Messrs Martin, Proffit and Mellowell, of the Typographical Union, met the remains at Radford and accompanied them to this city.
