Obituary - Fred C. Shankland, one of Brown County's most respected citizens, departed the life at 12:30 a.m. of Nov 11 1965, at the whited Nursing Home where he had been a patient for several weeks. Mrs. Ann Sharp, in charge of the Home, was a lifelong friend.
Mr. Shankland was born January 19, 1876, and had he lived until January of 1966 would have reached the age of 90 years.
His parents were David Worth Shankland, who died March 19, 1935, having come to Illinois in 1853 from Nicholas County, Kentucky, and settled in Lee Township, and Kate (Means) Shankland. who died in 1884. leaving two young sons, Fred and Earl, and a baby boy, John, who died September 11, 1884.
Mrs. Shankland's father, George Means, was one of nine children of George and Elizabeth Elton Means. Grandfather Means was born in Pennsylvania and served in the Revolutionary War, afterwards moving to Kentucky, where he died in 1833. David Shankland was married again on Nov 7 1886, to Mrs. Emmaline (Crabb) Stoop and to this union, another son, Richard was born. Richard's mother passed on Jan 13, 1933.
Fred C. Shankland at the age of 21 journeyed to Chicago where he secured employment. He was married to Della Cannon on 18 Aug 1903, in the home of cousin, Mrs. J.H. Bowers. He and his wife made their home in Chicago until 19l0 when they returned to Mt. Sterling and the next year moved to the farm where they spent most of their married life.
In 1939 they purchased a home in Fargo where they were living at the death of Della Shankland on August 30, 1948. Her death was a blow from which Fred never recovered. A year or two after the death of his wife Mr Shankland moved to the Six Motel in Mt. Sterling where he remained until shortly before his death. Fred always had a deep feeling of affection for his relatives and his many friends.
He spoke often of his father who was elected three times to the office of sheriff of this county and served another term as deputy. He never forgot his mother, and many times told how happy he was when his father brought another mother to the home for him and Earl and that he tried very hard to be a good son to her.
Fred and Della were members of the Presbyterian Church at Fargo, and were always ready to help in the betterment of the community.
Surviving are: Earl Shankland of Mt. Sterling and Richard Shankland of Quincy, his brother, his brothers, Richard Shankland, Jr of Quincy, and Jack Shankland of Joilet. his nephews, they being the sons of Richard Shankland Sr; also Jack's ten children. and Richard (third) and Mike, Sons of Richard, Jr., Also Richard (fourth), baby son of Richard (third); Mrs. Mae Hart of Cunningham Kansas, sister of Fred's deceased wife; and C.E. (Buzz) Sears, a cousin, who was a great favorite of Fred's of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
"Shank" as he was called by his friends, with whom he was always jovial and ready to exchange pleasantries, will be sadly missed by his relatives and host of friends.
"After the darkness, the light comes through
After the showers, the rainbow's in view
After life's heartaches, there comes from above
The peace and comfort of God's healing love."
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, Nov 13, at 1;30 at the Hufnagel Funeral Home. with Rev. Herschel Redd, Pastor of the First Christian Church, officiating. Mrs. Clarke Mitchell was organist. Casketbears were Maurice Armstrong, Norris Adams, Philip Quinn, Bert Chamberlain, Michael Shankland and Richard Shankland, I11. Burial was made in the Mt. Sterling City Cemetery.
Card of thanks For the many acts of kindness during the illness and after the death of of Fred Shankland, we are deeply grateful.
