Shacklette Graves

Pinelawn Cemetery, Houston, MO, July 1999

Take Route 17 south from I-44, and turn onto Route 63. Six tenths of a mile later, take a right and you should find the Pinelawn Cemetery there.

There were lots of Shacklettes in this cemetary, along with Williams and (I think) Redds. We were there during some miserable weather, and I had two miserable kids in tow, so did not spend as much time as I would have liked there. I hope to go back and do a little more studying and photographing of the stones.

Thomas Richard Redd Shacklette's Grave: Thomas R.R. Shacklette's grave is near the first entrance you meet. He has a nice spot under a big pine tree.
Thomas R.R. Shacklette's Stone: It says "October 27 1872" and "July 27, 1948" making him 75 years old when he died. Somewhere I am sure I have a photo of him as quite an old man.
A Shacklette Gravestone: There were lots of Shacklettes in Pinelawn Cemetery, including Mary L (July 20, 1850/Mar 19, 1923), Mabel (Aug 22, 1891/June 20, 1977), Blanch (June 7, 1886/July 10, 1923), and Benjamin L (Sept 2, 1842/Mar 13, 1921) who is, I assume, Thomas's father. I ran out of film and so could not photograph them all.
