Lineville Headlight
Whereas, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe has seen fit to take from us our 
beloved brother. Rev. Jas. A. Shadix. Brother Shadix was born May the 3rd. 1833. 
He joined the Baptist church and entered the ministry at the age of 19 years He 
made an able, minister and was consecrated to the work of his master. He was 
married to Miss Mary Clark in 1858, to which union several children were born to 
bless their home, and after the death of his first wife, he was married to Miss 
Jane Young, to which union were born several children. His second wife died in 
July 1915. For several years prior to his death Brother Shadix was blind and had 
to be carried wherever he went. He was visiting his children in Texas when death 
claimed him. He died May the 1st 1916. Therefore, be it resolved: That in the 
death of Brother Shadix, Hardy-Howle Lodge No. 459 A. P. & A- M. has lost one of 
its charter members, one who was devoted to the order and exemplified its 
teachings in his life and acts, and that the church and ministry have lost one 
of its most devoted and. beloved members, and the community one of its most 
useful and best citizens. 2nd. That we hereby tender our heartfelt sympathy to 
the bereaved children and loved ones. We commend them to him who doeth all 
things well, and we earnestly pray that he will keep and guide them in the 
straight and narrow way that will lead them to that Home where their Father 
waits for them, and there may we all join him in that home where trouble, sorrow 
and death can never come, then we can say, Oh grave where is thy victory, oh 
death where thy sting is. 3rd. We ask this to be published in The Headlight and 
a copy be furnished the bereaved children, also that it be spread upon the 
minutes of the Lodge. Respectfully H. C. Willingham. S. L. McCollough, I. H. 
Garrett Committee.
