Mr. Shackelford's Funeral Today
Will Be Held at Eleven O'Clock This Morning

The funeral of Mr. W. C. Shackelford will be held this morning at eleven o'clock 
at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Shackelford on Prince 
avenue.
The services will be conducted by Rev. Joel T. Daves, pastor of the First 
Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member.
The Knights of Pythias will attend the funeral in a body out of respect to the 
memory of their deceased brother.
The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers, Messrs. J. S. King, J. F. Rhed 
s, (sic), T. H. Nickerson, W. H. Kytle, R. J. Hancock, E. G. Turner, W. M. Crane 
and J. H. Dozier. The interment will be in Oconee cemetery.
The death of Mr. Shackelford was a peculiarly sad affair, and was a great shock 
to both family and friends.
A slight operation successfully performed, under the use of chloroform, properly 
administered, resulted in death from causes neither patient nor physicians could 
have foreseen. It was one of those mysterious dispensations of Providence which 
only the all-wise and all merciful Father understands.
Mr. Shackelford was rapidly forging his way to the front in the business world. 
He had a responsible position with the Simmons Hardware Co. of St. Louis, and 
was building up for his firm a large and profitable business in the section of 
the country he covered.
He was a young man of bright, sunny tempered disposition, and numbered his 
friends by the hundreds. He was an enthusiastic member of St. Elmo Lodge, 
Knights of Pythias, of this city.
The sympathies of many friends go out to his sorrowing relatives in their 
bereavement.
