L. C. SHACKELFORD, M. D.
    Dr. L. C. Shackelford, who in August, 1898, located for the practice of
medicine at Foreman, has since been numbered among the most able and successful
representatives of the profession in the city and surrounding district. Arkansas
is his native state and here he has always remained. His birth occurred in
Prescott, Nevada county, on the 18th of December, 1871, and his youth was spent
on a farm near Okolona, in Clark county. The public schools afforded him his
early educational opportunities, while his professional training was received in
the medical department of the University of Louisville at Louisville, Kentucky.
In 1895 he began practice in Okolona, there following his profession until
August, 1898, when he opened an office in Foreman, where he has remained
continuously since with the exception of the year 1900, which he spent in
recuperating his health and strength. He has devoted his attention to the
general practice of medicine and surgery and has built up a patronage of
extensive proportions as he has demonstrated his skill and effectively utilized
his professional learning in checking the ravages of disease and restoring
health. Dr. Shackelford was one of the directors of the Citizens National Bank
until he sold his interest in the institution in 1919, and on the 20th of
February, 1922, became president of the Merchants & Planters Bank of Foreman. He
owns four hundred acres of valuable land on the Red River bottom.

    In January, 1896, Dr. Shackelford was united in marriage to Miss Lucy
Reddell of Russellville, Arkansas, and they became parents of two children:
Joyce, who is now the wife of Henry A. Hawkins; and Claudius, who died at the
age of two years. The religious faith of the family is that of the Baptist
church. The Doctor enjoys high standing in both professional and social circles
of southwestern Arkansas and has been an interested witness of the progress and
development of the state through the past half century. He is a member of Little
River County and Arkansas State Medical Societies.
