Callie Evelyn McLelland, the daughter of Hezekiah Enoch George and Margaret (Fraser) McLelland was born May 31 1864 in Montgomery, Alabama, the same month her father died in the Civil War. She was 19 when she married Dr William H Shackford, a physician from Virginia on December 12, 1883 – William most likely met Callie through his mother Martha Cole McLelland.
Callie and William returned to Virginia where William continued his practice in Walkerton and Stevensville where they raised three children. They moved to Roanoke about 1902 where William took a job providing medical care to a group of organized shopmen. In 1906, William died at the age of 50 when a bale of hay was accidentally dropped on him from the third floor of a building. After William’s death, Callie moved to Richmond where she lived with her daughter’s family and became involved in the Monument Methodist Church.
Callie died at the age of 77 of heart disease on December 16, 1941 in Richmond after a short illness. This obituary was published in the Times Dispatch on Dec 17th prior funeral which was conducted by the Rev Joseph S Johnston of Warrenton. She was buried at Riverview Cemetery.
