\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHumphrey Shelton, colored, body servant for Major Green Peyton, of the University, during the Civil War, and long employed at the University in various capacities, died last night.
\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHumphrey Shelton had a perfect record as an honest man. He was not only an old man when he died, but he belonged to the old order of colored aristocracy with which the habit of courtesy was ideal and unvarying. He was never found off his guard, but always measured up in his respect for that which deserves respect and in his attention to the courtesies which make a few of the still surviving old colored stock so attractive.
\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cPractically all of his life Humphrey was employed at the University of Virginia. His memory of what went on in the old days has often been tested and always found reliable. He was one of the old landmarks whose disappearance is a matter of sincere regret to his white friends, as genuinely as to the friends of his own color.\u201d

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cJohn Shelton died at 4 o\u2019clock yesterday morning at his residence on Fifth street, south.\u00a0 He was one of the old colored men of whom there are few remaining.\u00a0 He was a man of fine intelligence, though little cultivation, but he was honest and faithful in all the relations of life.
\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cDuring the war he cooked for a mess in Company A, 19th Virginia, (Monticello Guard), and was in after years very proud of his connection with the army.\u00a0 In an entertainment given some years ago for the benefit of the Old Vets, John, with his ponderous figure (he weighed 300 pounds) was one of the most prominent characters in one of the camp scenes, with his camp fire, the kettle hanging on the cross stick, and he the presiding genius over the soup being concocted.\u00a0 John bowed with gratified pleasure at the applause evoked among the host of old soldiers in the audience.\u00a0 He had a vein of humor in him that was irrepressible.
\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHe was fully allied with his race in politics, but there was never anything offensive in his advocacy of the Republican party.\u00a0 He loved the white people, and only race pride held him in political opposition.
\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHis funeral services will take place at the First colored church tomorrow evening at 3 o\u2019clock.\u00a0 We doubt not many Old Confeds. will attend with a melancholy pleasure.\u00a0 The services will be conducted by the Rev. Alexander Truatt, and it is expected that Captain Micajah Woods, Colonel C. C. Wertenbaker, and others, will be present to speak of John\u2019s worth and character as a man and soldier.\u201d
