Black, Mary Elizabeth Ballard
Clark County Courier
March 17, 1923:
Mary Elizabeth Ballard grew up at her home near Ballard Church in Clark County, Missouri, where she grew to womanhood. At her home in Wyaconda, MO., Saturday evening at 9 o'clock, the messenger of death paused and whispered "Come unto me", departing this life March 17, 1923, aged 68 years and 15 days. September 06, 1871, she was united in marriage to Mr. George W. Black. To them were born six children, two sons, Robert Lee and Walter Henry, dying in childhood, aged 6 and 1 years respectively.
She was a member of the Rebekah lodge and Baptist Church of Wyaconda, MO., and was held in high esteem by all that knew her. After residing on a farm in the Ballard neighborhood for a number of years, they moved to a farm near Woodville near Mr. Black's boyhood home and just a little more than a year before the death of Mr. Black they moved to Medill where he preceded her in death November 28, 1910. Since the death of her husband she moved to Wyaconda and resided there until death. A husband, two sons, father, mother, three sisters and one brother have preceded her. Two sons and two daughters, Mrs. Ora Atwater of Burnside, IL. Mrs. Emma Green of Ft. Madison, Iowa, Ben F. of Wyaconda, MO., and Henry W. of LaBelle: one brother, Wat Ballard of Vega, Texas and one sister, Mrs. Frank Brown of Wyaconda, several grandchildren and a large number of other relatives and friends mourn the loss of a mother, sister and friend, whose purpose was high, whose character noble. In early childhood she gave her life to Christ and had for years been a consistent member of the Baptist Church. Life to her was real and earnest. She accepted its pleasures and trials with complacency, carrying with her everywhere a potent charm of cheerfulness, helpfulness and good will. Her generosity and genial hospitality were characteristic of her family. No more will the walls of the old home resound to her gentle voice, but death can never take from the minds and hearts of her loved ones her memory, the many acts of kindness done and the gentle and kindly spirit which dominated her life, will be remembered for years to come as influences which helped us to live noble lives.
For the last few years she has been in failing health suffering attacks of physical evils. Since November her condition has been critical and though no effort was spared to bring about her recovery, medical skills with gentle and loving care combined could not stay the hand of death. February 22nd, she was taken seriously ill. Thus as the seasons, life changes from springtime to the days of winter and her lusty youth has been giving way to feeble age and betoken the time of final reckoning. She bore her suffering patiently. Knowing her life we are confident that in that awful struggle between life and death she bore herself like a Christian. Her resolution never failed. Her heroic spirit was firm to the end.
The calling of a mother is one of those providence's hard to be understood, but this we know, that divine intelligence makes no mistakes and divine love doeth no evil, so somehow it is best. "Weep not for her; why should we weep. Her soul is free from troubles here. Her body quietly sleeps. Weep not, weep not. God knoweth best, Our loved mother is now at rest." Funeral services at Baptist Church, Wyaconda, Monday at 1 PM. Interment in Kahoka cemetery:

Brown, Martha Jane Ballard
Newspaper Unknown
Brown: " Martha J. Ballard,
daughter of Thomas and Lotsey Ballard, was born February 233, 1859 in Clark County, Missouri and passed from her home in Wyaconda January 15, 1924. Age 64 years, 11 months and 22 days.In 1875 she was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Joshua P. Ketchum. Mr. Ketchum passed to the great beyond in the year 1881, leaving his wife and one son, James W. Ketchum, now of Williamstown, Missouri. She was again united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Francis Brown, November 03, 1881. To this union four children came to gladden their home, namely; Mrs. Lotsey Wells and Shirley Brown of Keokuk, Iowa; Reed of Burlington, Iowa and Earl of Alexandria, Missouri. One brother, Walter Pierce Ballard of Vega, Texas besides nine grandchildren and many other relatives and friends mourn her home going.
Sister Brown was converted and united with the South Wyaconda Baptist Church at the age of twenty years later moving her membership to Liberty, remaining there till her death. Thus reads the story of a life in years but we must remember the deeds of child training of the many deeds of love and mercy and the making of a home, taking her place in God's vineyard to her own praise and His glory.
Her long years of suffering have been borne with the grace of a Christian martyr. This has been a period of testing of her faith in God. She stood the test. It was also a period of testing the love and devotion of her husband. He also stood the test. He deserves all praise for his constant loving attention during all these years. Our loss is her gain.
The funeral services were conducted at the Liberty Church, Thursday, January 17, 1924 by her old pastor, Rev. Arthur H Fuhr, now of Carmel, Illinois.
The remains were tenderly carried to their last resting place by the loving hands of neighbors."

THANKSGIVING JOY TURNS TO GRIEF AT SUDDEN DEATH WALTER S. HICKERSON, LOCAL CIVIC LEADER, FORMER TEACHER, AND COUNTY JUDGE OF SCOTLAND COUNTY, MISSOURI, DIES SUDDENLY THANKSGIVING MORNING.
W.S. Hickerson:
Grief settled over the community like a pall. Thanksgiving day gaiety and feasting became saddened and quiet as the news spread round of the sudden death of W.S. Hickerson, well-0known and deeply revered civic leader and community builder of Graham.Everyone knew Mr. Hickerson. His kindly, friendly smile warmed the hearts of all he met. It is said he "loved humanity." Such a disposition reaps the reward of true friendship-which was his from all he knew.
Early Thanksgiving morning he spoke jokingly to his wife as she worked in the kitchen and smiling walked out into the yard. Shortly afterward he was discovered there where he had fallen-stricken in death.
W.S. Hickerson was born Sept. 1, 1865, died Nov. 24, 1927, aged 62 years 2 months and 24 days.
At the age of 19 years, he united with the Baptist church in Missouri where he lied at the time. He taught school, and later was elected county judge of Scotland county, Missouri, and served four terms.
On Sept. 18, 1889, he married Josephine Triplett. To them were born three sons, Ray, Frank and Kent- all of whom are now residents of Los Angeles, county, California.
In 1911 Mr. Hickerson came to California and in 1918 located in Graham, where in his business dealing he has won the confidence and esteem of all.

His death is mourned by wife, three sons, a brother, Alvin L. Hickerson and a sister, Mrs. Northcraft of Missouri.

When the news of Mr. Jack Johnson's death reached me by phone, I was devastated and felt an extreme sense of loss. I thought he would go on forever. Later in the week the newspaper clippings started arriving at our home in Titusville, Fla. To my dismay, not one article mentioned Mr. Jack's years in the classroom. All of us pupils who attended Fairview School during the late 1920's thought this was a very important time in his life and ours. At that time he was married to Reta who was teaching at Little Grove, also a one room school house where my own mother had previously taught.
"Mr. Jack" as we called him was interested in each pupil and he played a part in molding our characters, teaching us fairness, morals and discipline. When he thought it necessary to do some correcting he would sent a boy out to the thicket to cut a switch to be used on his legs. If the boy whimpered when handing over the tool for correction, Mr. Jack would say, "cheer up, the worst is yet to come". Of course he really never hurt anyone. I went on to college, got an advanced degree and became a teacher. He always let me know that he was pleased with my accomplishments. My husband loved "Mr. Jack" and "Miss Reta" as I did and we remained good friends, talking on the phone over the miles, writing letters and visiting in person. We shared with joy the events in the lives of our children. Both of them retained their beautiful penmanship which is one thing that he did not teach me. Ben Allen has a great heritage. His parents were so unusual and special that there are no words to adequately describe them. I should like to quote the late Jesse Stuart who said, "I am firm in my believ that a teacher lives on and on through his students. Good teaching is forever and the teacher is immortal". No words better describe our "Mr. Jack".

Musick, Michael Greg
TRIBUTE
Greg Musick, admired by all who knew him, left home for college shortly after high school and attened the University of Alabama. While in college he meet Melanie Odom, a daughter of L.M. and Corolyn Odom of Bessemer, Alabama, who was also attending the University of Alabama. It was here that Greg and Melanie's Southern storybook romance began. They both met at the Baptist Student Union and their first date fell on Valentine's Day in 1986. Greg and Melanie married in Bessemer on February 27, 1988. After college they returned to Greg's home in Newnan, Georgia where Greg served as youth minister. Greg had at once considered ministry as a career but later decided to pursue a career in sportscasting. He had worked for over two years as a sales rep for a local car company to save enough money to go back to school.
On April 24, 1990, fate would change the plans of the lifes of Geg and Melanie Musick. On this fateful Tuesday afternoon, Greg was having lunch with a former college buddy at a the Perimeter Mall in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. On the day before James Calvin Brady was released from a local mental hospital, having been admitted for claiming there was a mechanical divice in his body ordering him to kill white people. He was diagnosed as homicidal but the authorities still ordered his release. James Calvin Brady left the hospital and then preceded to a Duluth pawn shop where he bought a gun without proper ID. He then walked into the Perimeter Mall and started firing his gun. When the shooting stopped, four had been shot, two in critical condition and Greg was killed instantly.
Greg's fueneral was held the following Friday at the First Baptist Church of Newnan, Coweta, County, Georgia, officiated by the Reverand Gene Tyre. The funeral was attended by the family and over two hundred of Greg's friends. During the funeral the pastor had these words, "I would not be true to my calling if I did not stand here today and call for people to create and enforce laws to keep guns from the mentally ill." This line from their pastor was a call that Greg's wife Melanie took as her calling.
The day Greg was buried, Melanie placed a call to the Mayor's office in Atlanta urging him for a prompt push for a 15 day waiting period on handgun purchases, informing him of her desire to do anything possible to help. Within a week Melanie was thrust into the spotlight of press conferences and congressional hearings. During this time she met a lady by the name of Sarah, whose husband had also been gunned down in a hail of gunfire. Sarah's husband had been critically injured and was left partially paralized. For the next year, she channeled her pain into political activism, telling all who would listen of the need for the control of handguns. In the wake of the shooting, Melanie achieved the commissioners approval of a 15 day waiting period on handgun purchases. Melanie and her new found friends, Sarah and her husband James took their fight to Washington, DC., and through their had combined work on and in the memory of Michael Greg Musick, on November 30, 1993, they stood by the side of President William Jefferson Clinton at the signing of the "Brady Gun Control Bill", named after Melanie's newfound friends, Sarah and James Brady. The later is wounded during the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Atlanta Journal Constitution: July 13, 1991:
"Melanie Musick is the inspiration who helped push the US Senate passage Thursday of a compromise of the Brady Bill, one that not only mandates a five business day waiting period, but also requires an instant background checks on handgun purchases. In Washington, she was befriended by Sarah and James Brady, President Reagan's press secretary who was gunned down in 1981, when Melanie was just 14. They are incredibly strong people."

A SAD AFFAIR
A Father and his Son go to a Watery Death in Conecuh
Kichen Ellis and Oscar Nichols:
A very sad occurrence took place about five miles from town on Sunday morning last. Mr. Ellis Nichols and an old respected citizen of this county, who lives on the plantation of Mr. Joel D. Murpree, on the conecuh river, accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr. Thomas Meadows and three of his sons went to the river to bathe after a week's work in the dusty farm. The place selected was a shallow sand bar adjoining a whole of some ten feet in depth/ Neither Mr. Nichols or Meadows were expert swimmers, and the boys could not swim at all. He instructed them to stay where the water was shallow while he and his son-in-law ventured where it was deeper. By the force of the current or other means one of the little boys, Oscar Nichols, got beyond his depth and was drowning when discovered by his father. Mr. Meadows immediately came to the rescue and was clinched by the drowning boy in such a manner as to be unable to swim out. At this crises, Mr. Nichols swam up to assist and was grasped by his son who released Mr. Meadows who in turn made his way to shallow water in a thoroughly exhausted condition Upon reaching a foot hold he turned to see the old man and his child, clasped in a deaths embrace, rise for the last time. He procured a pole and hurried out a log near where they sank with the vain hope that they might rise again, but they were gone forever. Neighbors were notified and after an hour or more the bodies were recovered and carried home to the heartbroken family who saw them go away a few hours before in perfect health. On Monday they were buried at Good Hope where Mr. Nichols had held membership.For more information:

Edna M. Shackelford
was born August 27, 1900, near Ladoga, Indiana and spent her entire childhood in that vicinity, attending the Ladoga schools, graduating from that highschool with the class of 1919. After graduation she attended the Crawfordsville Business College. She was employed at the Coppage and Swearingen Abstract office for one year, from there she went to the Farmer's Merchants and Clements Trust Company, where she remained until shortly over a year ago, when she went to California, hoping the change of climate might bring her back to good health.She returned to her father's home in December and remained there until she passed away on February 25, 1925. She leaves several relatives amd many friends to mourn for her among whom are her father and stepmother, two brothers, Paul of Delano, California and George of Ladoga, one step-brother, Paul Cheshire, of Saginaw, Michigan and three nieces. Her mother, Anna Shackelford preceded her in death about twenty years ago.
Edna was a girl with a cherry smile and a happy word. Her friends were all those whom she met, even during her illness she made no complaint of the hard lot she was having to bear.
While in Crawfordsville, Edna joined the First Christain Church and was a faithful member of the Willing Workers Sunday School Class of that church. Edna spent the few short years of her life in bringing sunshine into the lives of those around her and all her friends feel as the poet did who composed this poem.
"None who knew her can believe her dead,
Though should she die, they deem it well might be.
Her spirit took it's everlasting flight,
In Winter's glory, by the sunset sea:
That onward, through the Golden Gate it fled;
Ah, where that bright soul is, night cannot be:
The funeral was held at the home Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. The Reverand S.G. Smith, of Ladoga Christain Church conducted the services. A quartette composed of Mrs. Lee Brookshire, Miss Clara Robbins, Rev. S.G. Smith and Mark Shackelford sang "In The Garden".
Paul bearers were Warren Britts, Clay Britts, Homer Damewood, Tollie Sutherlin, Virgil Sutherlin, and William White. Flower bearers were Grace Lauthers, Mable Dickerson, Pearl Mahorney, Loia Peacock, Mayme Fouist, Leona Young and Bertha White.

About seven years ago the trouble became so serious and his condition so critical that he has been confined to his bed and under medical care with friends and loved ones daily expecting to hear of his passing.Wednesday afternoon, August 13th the end of the struggle came. The deceased was born in Roachdale, Indiana, May 30, 1865. The family moved to this vicinity something like 25 years ago. A few years later he sold his interests here and for a few years lived in other states, but came back to this section in 1910. Since that time he has continued his residence here.
He was a conscientious Christain gentleman, being a member of the Baptist church and a member of the board of Deacons of that organization. Those of the immediaate family surviving him are the widow and four children and four grand children. The children are Claude James and John Earl, Mrs. J.L.

Mr James Mordecai Shackelford -
"We have a report of the death of Mr James Mordecai Shackelford, of Tampa, Fla., age sixty years, but our correspondent failed to show the date of his death. James Mordecai Shackelford was born the son of Mr and Mrs William Alexander and Isabell Victoria Sharp-Shackelford, of Carrolton, Ga., February 3, 1888. So if he died when he was sixty three years of age he died some three or four years ago, although the report has just reached us. He is survived by his mother, three brothers and three sisters, and several nephews and nieces and a host of other relatives too numerous to mention."It is unknown by me if James were James Mordecai Shackelford was laid to rest. I have not been able to find his tombstone in Carroll County, Georgia where his parents and other relatives are burried. It is likely that he was burried somewhere in the Tampa, Florida area.

Christopher Lane Shackleford dies in Auto Accident
Chris L. Shackleford
died at 1:15am, Saturday, July 29, 2000, in a car accident caused by a drunk driver on Sandtown Road in Cobb County, which is just northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. He was 19 years old. Julieanne Pascoe, 18, a friend of Chris', also died shortly after the accident in a local hospital.Matthew Hunt, 24, and Michelle "Kelli" Bourgeois, 19, were both severely injured.
Kelli died late Wednesday night from injuries sustained in the accident.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran this article about Kelli, Matt, and some more details on the accident, on Thursday morning.
Tests found that the drunk driver, who is 20 years old, had a blood-alcohol level of .178 just after the crash, which is more than double the legal limit in Georgia (.08). He did not have a valid drivers license or insurance. The AJC printed this on Wednesday, August 2nd. He has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, DUI, assault, and several other charges, which are detailed in this article published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. On August 25, the Cobb County police department charged a waitress that served the drunk driver.
Chris was a friend of many, and was a very active member of the online community, in many different chat systems and message boards. Since many first met Chris online, we felt that an online tribute was needed. This site was named 'filmboy18.com' in honor of one of the nicknames that Chris used in the chat rooms, because of his love for film and movies. Chris was a freshman at Georgia State University, majoring in film studies. He was also a very talented writer, and enjoyed sharing his works with others.
The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to offer a memorium, please do so by making a donation to S.T.O.P, Inc. (Saving The Other Person). For more information please visit http://www.stopdd.org
From Chris’ Memorial Website
Chris was working on a feature-length movie script, and was almost finished when the accident occurred. His friends and his family are committed to seeing the movie produced. Efforts will begin soon to make this happen. We will share the details on this website when we have them. If you have the knowledge or resources to help with this endeavor, please let us know by emailing [email protected]

Sloan, America White Shackelford
Newspaper Unknown
Mrs. Sloan was born in Shelby County, Kentucky on December 15, 1811. She was married to Harvey Sloan in 1831, and this union was blesses with a happy life of almost half a century, Mr Sloan dying October 13, 1874. In 1835 with her husband she left her girlhood home and came to Franklin. They located on the lot at the southwest corner of North Main and West Madison streets and had lived there continously since that time. Mr Sloan purchased nearly all the ground lying between Main Street and the Big Four railway and as far south as Jefferson Street. The old homestead was purchased from George King, who in turn purchased it direct from the government, and it is without doubt the only lot in Franklin that has changed ownership but once. Here eleven children were born and of this number but four survive the parents. They are James W. Sloan and Mrs. E. J. Overbay of this city, Charles Sloan of Indianapolis, and John C. Sloan of Worthington.
Mrs. Sloan, or "Grandma Sloan" as she was affectionately called, has been a constant sufferer since March 1st, but through this long illness she has been kind and patient. Her physician, Dr. P.W. Payne, in speaking of her, said her memory was remarkable for one her age. She was posted on all subjects of general interest and was a most entertaining conversationalist. Of her truly it can be said "that to know was to love" and her friends were numbered amongst both young and old.
As the church bells were calling the people to morning worship she was aroused by the sound and realized their meaning with pleasure. A light seemed to break in upon her and while she was bidding her loved ones farewell the end which she had long expected but never feared, came.
The funeral will be held from the home Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Dr. L.P. Marshall of the Presbyterian church, of which congreration she was a life long member. The burial will be under the direction of E.G. Barnhizer, In Greenlawn.
