MRS. IDA SHELL IS DROWNED IN FLOOD WATERS
Was Sitting in Car Parked At Tad's Barbecue When Wall of Water Struck
Mrs. Ida M. Shell, 58, was drowned last night by floodwaters as she sat in an automobile parked at Tad's Barbecue stand in the Rio Vista section.
The automobile in which she was sitting was swept approximately 300 feet away from the parking lot.
It was understood that her husband, Robert T. Shell, her mother, Mrs. Ella Gregg, and a daughter, Miss Ruble Shell, had gone into the establishment, leaving Mrs. Shell in the car.
When the party rushed out of the building after the floodwaters struck, they found the car gone. The body was discovered, still in the car, at about 5:00 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Shell had apparently been unable to force the doors of the car open due to pressure of the water.
A native of Johnson county, she had made her home in Carter county for a number of years. She was a member of the Christian church.
She is survived by her husband, Robert T. Shell; two daughters, Mrs. Philly Lowe of Covington, Tenn., and Miss Ruble Shell of Elizabethton; her mother, Mrs. Ellen Gregg of Elizabethton; one sister, Mrs. Selma Shoun of Mountain City; one brother, Stanley Gregg of Elizabethton; four grandchildren.
