From the Burrton newspaper;
"Death of R. Shacklett - Richard Shacklett died suddenly Thursday evening at the home of his son John Shacklett, in Wichita. He had just returned from a visit with his daughter, Mrs. Alma Story of Fairview, Okla., and was apparently in his usual health. Mr. Shacklett was a resident of Burrton from 1882 until 1903, moving to Wichita that year. He was born in Meade County, Kentucky, Feb. 4, 1842, and died April 2, 1914, aged 72 years 2 months and 6 days. He served during the war as a member of Company (left blank) Regiment, C. S. A. He was a member of Wichita Post No. 1350 United Confederate Veterans. The funeral was conducted from the home of his son and was in charge of the Confederate Veterans. He leaves three sons, John of Wichita, Albert and George of Los Angeles, Calf., and a daughter, Mrs. Albert Storey of Fairview, Okla, to mourn his loss.
Interment was made in the Burrton Cemetery Saturday evening."
The following account states that Dick Shacklett was strangling on a food item caught in his throat, yet it says that he died of apoplexy, described today as bleeding into the brain, caused by a stroke. That finding, however, was made by the doctor at the scene, without the benefit of an autopsy.
From The Burrton Graphic, dated April 9, 1914, pg. 1;
"D. SHACKLETT DROPS DEAD IN WICHITA - Was Resident of Burrton For Many Years. - D. Shacklett of Fairview, Okla. 72 years old, dropped dead Thursday evening about 8:30 o'clock, at the home of his son, Jack Shacklett, 826 South Main street. Death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Shacklett complained of some obstruction in his throat, and started for the lavatory. He was accompanied by his grandson, Frank.
Just as Mr. Shacklett entered the lavatory, according to the grandson, he collapsed. The boy ran to the house and summoned his father and mother. When they reached Mr. Shacklett, he was dead. Dr. F. J. Walker was called. He stated that the aged man had died almost instantly, of apoplexy.
In falling, Mr. Shacklett struck his head and a gash was cut in his forehead. His son stated that his father had been a remarkably healthy man all his life. Last week he had a slight attack of stomach trouble, but it apparently had passed away. He had never been troubled with apoplexy or paralysis.
Mr. Shacklett arrived in Wichita about 5:30 Thursday evening. He was enroute from Fairview to Kentucky, for a visit. He stopped off in Wichita to visit a few days with his son, who is a brakeman on the Sante Fe railroad. He ate a hearty supper and was feeling fine.
He was a widower and besides his son in Wichita, has relatives in California and Oklahoma. Funeral arrangements have not been made. Eagle.
The funeral party arrived in Burrton 4:45 o'clock on the St. L. and S. F. Ry. Saturday evening, accompanied by the son, Jack and wife of Wichita, the daughter, Mrs. Clyde Story and husband of Fairview, Okla., a niece, Mrs. Fannie Wilbur, Mrs. Jack Stratton and Rev. A. Hughes Pastor of the First Baptist church of Wichita. A large number were in attendance at the services at the Stingley and Ayers undertaking parlors in Wichita.
The way was taken direct to the Burrton cemetery where interment was made, after short services conducted by Reverends M. J. Duncan and A. Hughes.
The following old friends and neighbors acted as pall beares; W. D. Paine, Charles Jerome, Robert Beckham, W. S. Payne, J. B. Parker and Thomas Eales.
Mr. Shacklett, with the family, was a resident of Burrton for many years, the family coming in the year 1880. He was well known to all the people of this vicinity. He was possessed of a robust physique and thought to have a rugged constitution, and it was a great surprise to friends to learn of his sudden death.
Mrs. Shacklett preceded him to the better world in 1903. The surviving realtives are brothers, Ben of Meade Co., Ky., Balant [Blant] of Patterson, Kans., a sister in Kentucky and four children, Jack, of Wichita, Kans., Elbert and George of Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. Clyde Story of Fairview, Okla., besides a number of nieces, nephews and grandchildren.
