Lucy Turner Shacklett's obit in the Burrton Graphic dated Feb. 20, 1903:
"Lucy Turner was one of 10 children (Lucy's parents are not named here). Lucy's mother died in 1862, followed 2 years later by the death of her father. Of the 10 children, Lucy was the 2nd to die, her oldest brother having been killed by a train in 1891.

Lucy had been a resident of Burrton since 1882 and was a faithful member of the Baptist church. Lucy W. Turner married Richard Shacklett May 6, 1869 and they had 4 children (not named here).
From (Lucy's husband) Richard H. Shacklett's obit in the Burrton Graphic dated Apr. 5, 1914: Richard leaves 3 sons, John (Andrew J. Shacklett 1872-1936) of Wichita, Albert Shacklett of Los Angleles, Ca., George Shacklett of Los Angeles, Ca., and Mrs. Albert Storey of Fairview, Oklahoma."

"'Suicide' Writes Postal - The following press dispatch will be of interest to Free-Lance readers for the reason that Mrs. Fred Plummer was formerly Miss Lottie Shacklet of this city.
'Atchison, Kans. July 26. What was regarded as a suicide mystery of more than a year's standing was cleared today when Frank Dilgert, a confectioner here, received a postcard from Fred Plummer bearing a Manilla P. I. postmark.
Plummer, then a traveling man for a wholesale cracker house, disappeared here one night and the next morning a 'suicide' note and his hat were found on the bridge over the Missouri river. It was reported that he had trouble with his wife, whom he had married but a short time before his disappearance. While there were people who doubted the suicide theory when no body was found, the postcard received today is the first positive evidence that Plummer merely disappeared. On the card he says he is making a tour of the world."
