SHANNON, Amanda
On the 20th of October, Heaven's portals opened to the soul of Mrs. Amanda Shannon. She was one of Catlettsburg's oldest and best known citizens. Her death followed closely upon a period of illness caused by a severe burn received at her home in the South Side some 5 or 6 weeks ago. She was placed in the hospital, and her burns were healing nicely, and it was reported that she was much improved. However, she suffered a sudden severe paralytic stroke, and death came to her relief. Mrs. Shannon was formerly Miss Amanda Compton. She was 74 years of age and had been 3 times married. Her girlhood was spent at Round Bottom, WV, and after her marriage, she went to Catlettsburg, where she had resided for a number of years and made hosts of friends who sincerely mourn her loss. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church and will be greatly missed. Her body was removed to the home of her sister, Mrs. Anna Compton, and from there was taken over the C & O Railroad to the home of her brother, Mr. J.R. Compton, at Buchanan. The funeral services were held at Buchanan Chapel. Rev. Ball officiating. She is survived by 2 sons, Lis Hatten of Prichard, WV and Alsinus Gilkerson of Gallup, KY. Also 2 sisters, Mrs. Anna Compton of Catlettsburg and Mrs. Carrie Prichard of Falls City, Neb., and 2 brothers, J.R. Compton of Buchanan and John Compton of Blaine.
