MARCELLUS, F. H.

MARCELLUS - The remains of F. H. Marcellus were shipped to his daughter at Fruita, Colorado last night by Moynahan-O'Malia Undertaking Company.  Arrangements to ship the body were made yesterday afternoon.

The deceased died ten minites after he arrived in Leadville from Minturn Tuesday night after a fast trip had been made by a special Denver and Rio Grande train in an effort to save his life.  While walking out of the railroad station ______ house Mr. Marcellus stepped in front of a passing train which resulted in severing both legs below the knees.

He was a prominent cattleman, real estate dealer and farmer in Fruita.
