On Monday of this week they started home with him, and between Elmenton and East Brady he left his seat and went to the rear end of the car where he remained a few minutes and then returned to his original seat near his sons, and said: “Boys, I have take carbolic acid, and am going to die.” A search found the bottle at the rear end of the car, and sure enough the words came true. There was no physician on the train, and he died before East Brady was reached. The body was taken to his home near Curllsville by the overland route. Clipping courtesy of Linda Walls.

SHIELDS, JOHN CRAIG — The death of John C. Shields, which occurred at his home in St. Petersburg on Thursday, May 9, 1929 at 10:45 a.m., while not entirely unexpected, owing to recent illness, surprised many friends and touched many hearts throughout the county. John Craig Shields was born near Reidsburg, Clarion County, March 14, 1836 and at his death was aged 93 years, 1 month and 24 days. He was the oldest son of Samuel Craig and Sarah Frampton Shields. He is survived by one half-brother, William R. Gardner of Buffalo, N. Y., and by 5 sons and 5 daughters: George Shields, Rimersburg; Samuel Shields, Coraopolis; James Shields of Casey, Ill.; Mrs. Alice Myers, Butler; Mrs. J. P. Taylor, Springville, N. Y.; Mrs. F. D.

Mr. Shields spent the greater part of his life on his farm near Blair's Corners and made a success of his fanning. He was always interested in civic life and public affairs. He served as Justice of the Peace for 25 years. He was elected twice as County Commissioner and served six years. During his terms of service the question of the erection of the County Home first came up, and it is but just to say that had the action of Mr. Shields and his fellow Commissioners on the Board been adopted and carried through, the taxpayers of the county would have saved from $25,000 to $50,000 and the stain of one of the most corrupt scandals that ever cursed the county. Mr. Shields was a man of just and upright ideas, and by this with his genial disposition and kindly manners made hosts of friends and admirers who recall with respect and love his long and useful life. Funeral services were held at his late home Sunday, May 12, conducted by Rev. J. R. Booth of St. Petersburg, assisted by Rev. B. F. Williams of Emlenton. Burial was made in the Callensburg Cemetery
