Aged Brothers.
Samuel Shacklett, Esq., one of Harrisonburg's most honored citizens, reached his 80th birthday in May, 1884, and is still in very good health, and until a recent attack, was one of our most active business men. Mr. S. has three brothers living, aged respectively as follows . B. C. Shacklett, of Fauquier county, Va., 87, Jan. 1885; H. Shacklett, Missouri, 85, Sept. 1884; Robert Shacklett, Missouri, 78, December, 1884. The aggregate ages of the four brother, Jan. 1885, was 332 years, or an average of 83 years. This is a very remarkable longevity, and we hope they may all live to add many more years to their useful lives. — Rockingham (Va.) Register.
Mr. Harry [sic] Shacklett, referred to above, lives in Shelbina, is an influential citizen, and is the father of Mr. Edward Shacklett, the popular clerk at Worthington & Co's. Mr. Robert Shacklett lives in Palmyra, and is the ex-sheriff and collector and also ex-assessor. His name is a household word to the citizens of the county, who join with the editor of the Register in wishing him and his brothers many more years of happiness and usefulness.
These four "boys" are the only survivors of a family of sixteen children, and are among the youngest. The descendants are scattered all over the United States, and include several distinguished persons. — [Hannibal Journal.

He was a devout and consistent member of the Methodist church, joining at Palmyra, in 1851 under the ministry of Bishop Marvin. In early life he was identified with the growth and prosperity of his county in Virginia. At one time he kept a large hotel and among his patrons he counted men prominent in state and national affairs; was intimately acquainted with President Monroe and Jackson, and Chief Justice Marshal. He moved to Palmyra and engaged in business there for many year. He was a resident of Shelbina fourteen year. The remains were taken to Palmyra on Saturday and interred in the family burial ground southeast of the city.
