[Identification of item], William Rodes Shackelford Collection, University Archives, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond. Processed by Cindy Jeffries. In July 1978 Mrs. Field Shackelford Blanton, daughter of William Rodes Shackelford, donated the Shackelford family collection of records to Eastern Kentucky University. The records were scattered throughout the Shackelford family house on Main Street in Richmond. A large group of the papers found in the basement and some from the attic required fumigation and extensive cleaning. A small portion of papers, including correspondence from Cassius M. Clay, were located in Judge Shackelford's old desk in Mrs. Blanton's garage. The Archives is indebted to Mrs. Blanton for donating the William Rodes Shackelford Collection to Eastern Kentucky University for permanent preservation. Also, a special thanks is extended to Mr. Keith East, a former history student at Eastern, who first brought this collection to the Archives' attention. William Rodes Shackelford was born on October 26, 1869, in Richmond, the son of Mary Keen and James T. Shackelford. Shackelford was the eldest child from James T.'s second marriage. James's first wife, Mary Bates, bore two children--Daniel Bates Shackelford and James Shackelford, who died at age one. Shackelford had three brothers and four sisters--Clay Keen, John Hockaday, Sally Clay Keen, George Daniel, James Jr., Mary Keen, and an infant girl who died at birth. Shackelford was educated at Central University in Richmond, Kentucky, and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June 1887, at the age of seventeen. In June 1888, he had conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. At Central University, he participated in numerous oratorial contests and was active in Alpha Tau Omega, a men's social fraternity. Too young to be admitted to the bar, he taught in a private school for one year while still pursuing his legal studies. He subsequently took a law lecture course at the University of Virginia and was admitted to the Kentucky Bar Association in January 1891 in Richmond. When Central University was absorbed by consolidation into Centre College of Danville in 1901, Shackelford led in the fight to retain for the benefit of the citizens of Richmond, the Central University campus grounds which were used for the Walters Institute, an educational institution for boys of which Shackelford was one of the founders. This retention of the ownership of the old campus and the ability of its Trustees to offer it as is gift to the state of Kentucky, was a major factor in the establishment of the Eastern State Normal School, now Eastern Kentucky University. On January 29, 1907, Shackelford married his cousin, Anne Louise Clay, of Bourbon County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Cassius M. Clay, Jr. and Sue Elizabeth Clay and came from a line of pioneer settlers of Bourbon County. Shackelford and Anne had six children, only two of whom lived to adulthood--Anne Field and Mary Keen. Early in life Shackelford developed a keen interest in politics. He was a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. In November 1909, Shackelord was elected County Judge of Madison County on the Democratic ticket, and took office in January 1910. He was re-elected in 1913. In August 1915, he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Circuit Judge in the 25th judicial district (composed of Madison, Clark, Powell, and Jessamine counties), and was elected in November of that year. Resigning the office of County judge, he went on the Circuit bench in January 1916. He was re-elected Circuit Judge in 1921, 1927, and in 1933, and had, at the time of his death, served only little more than two years of the last six-year term for which he had been elected. In 1931, Judge Shackelford became a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of Kentucky. However, when it became apparent that the nomination would be won by Rudy Laffoon of Madisonville, he seconded the nomination of his opponent. Over the years, Shackelford participated in various fraternal, social, and religious organizations. He was a Master Mason in Richmond Lodge No. 25, F. & A.M. He was elected High Priest twice in Richmond Chapter No. 16, Royal Arch Masons, and elected Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Kentucky, Royal Arch Masons, in 1914. Also, he was made a Knight Templar and elected Eminent Commander in Richmond Commandery No. 16. Shackelford was the Exalted Ruler in Richmond Lodge No. 581, B.P.O.E. He also served as ruling elder in the First Presbyterian Church in Richmond from 1915 and was for many years clerk of the session. Shackelford belonged to many clubs and organizations including the Kentucky Historical Society, Madison County Historical Society, Pendennis Club, Filson Club, Lexington Club, and the Oleika Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S. of Lexington. Shackelford enjoyed historical and genealogical research. He wrote two books during his lifetime, one on the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Richmond and the other a booklet on the descendents of Colonel George Shackelford. William Rodes Shackelford died on March 7, 1936, of bronchial pneumonia and is interred in the Richmond Cemetery. 1869 Born in Richmond in Madison County, Kentucky (October 26) 1887 Graduated from Central University in Richmond, KY with BA (June) 1888 Received Master of Arts degree from Central University (June) 1888-89 Taught at a private school. 1889-90 Taught at Central University 1890 Attended law lecture course at the University of VA Law School 1891 Admitted to the Kentucky Bar Association (January) 1891-09 Practiced law in Richmond 1901 Master Mason in Richmond Lodge No. 25, F. and A.M.

For researchers interested in the history of Central University, glimpses of Richmond social, cultural and political life from the 1880's to the 1930's, and genealogy of the Shackelford family, the Shackelford Collection provides abundant information. Since the collection had no organization, the Archives staff imposed its own pattern of arrangement. The inventory to the collection describes material at the folder title level. In addition, a correspondent name index lists letters of content Shackelford received from prominent persons. Container List Correspondence Series The Correspondence Series consists of ten boxes of materials covering the years 1838-1964. Correspondence is arranged chronologically, and special day cards, sympathy cards, and letters on Judge Shackelford's death in 1936 are arranged alphabetically at the end of the series. Much of the earlier correspondence consists primarily of letters Shackelford received from his Central University classmates and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers, Richmond acquaintances, and parents. A small portion of the correspondence concerns business matters, especially letters changed between Shackelford and his uncle Cassius M. Clay in 1897-1898 dealing with Clay's myriad legal problems, but the majority is of a personal nature. Interesting glimpses of Richmond educational, social, and cultural life is found in the correspondence along with discussions on local, state, and national political issues, especially the watershed 1896 presidential election between William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley and the Spanish American War. Correspondence of the 1920s and 1930s is largely between family members when daughters Keen and Field attended college and between the daughters and their college and Richmond friends. Of particular interest is correspondence among family members in 1931 when Judge Shackelford sought the Democratic party gubernatorial nomination. The 1940s correspondence is mostly addressed to Mrs. Shackelford and is of business nature concerning the Shackelford estate. Correspondence of the 1950s and 1960s is primarily that of Dr. Harvey C. Blanton, Field's husband and local physician. A few letters from prominent state figures appear in the correspondence. A correspondent name index, immediately following this series, lists letters received by Shackelford from such persons. 1 November 3, 1838 1 January 11, 1839 1 1884 1 1885 1 January - June 1886 1 July - December 1886 1 January - June 1887 1 July - December 1887 1 January - June 1888 1 July - December 1888 1 1889 2 January - July 1890 2 August - October 1890 2 November - December 1890 2 January - June 1891 2 July - December 1891 2 1892 2 1893 3 1894 3 January - June 1895 3 July - December 1895 3 January - July 1896 3 August - December 1896 3 C.
