SHANKS, Lou Bailey

SHANKS, Lou Bailey 1847 – 1916 Prominent Lincoln County Woman Succumbs to Pneumonia After Short Illness. The death of Mrs. Lou Shanks at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kirby Bourne, at New Castle, Henry County, early Thursday Morning, came as distinct and severe shock to the many friends and loved ones of this good woman at her home here. Mrs. Shanks had been suffering from bronchial pneumonia and complications for some time, bt latest repors from her bedside were that her condition was satisfactory and when the message came telling of her death, it was a great blow to all and sincer regret was expressed on all sides and sympathy extended to the members of the family in their hour of great bereavement. Ordinarily a vigorous woman, Mrs. Shanks had lately begun to break with the passing of the years , and was unable to throw off with her accustomed ease, the attack which resulted fatally, when first she contracted a severe cold. She was in her 68th year and throughout her long and active life, maintained the cheerfulness of youth and vigor, as a result of which she had always appeard much younger than she was. Mrs. Shanks was born in Shelby county, the daughter of the late Hartwell Bailey, and a member of one of the most prominent families of the state. Her mother was a daughter of Neudaker Owsley, and sister of the mother of Gov. Owsley Stanley, making the deceased a first cousin of the present chief executive of the commonwalth. She was also a niece of old Gov. Wm. Owsley. She was one of five childen, her sister, Mrs. Alice Pickett of Shelbyville, mother of Mrs. William Severance of this city, being the oldest: the others were Mrs. Shanks, the late Mrs. Bonnie, of Chattanooga, Mrs. Carrithers, also deceased and Carroll Bailey, the only brother, now living in Missouri. Soon after the civil war, she became the wife of John H. Shanks, a leasing business man, banker and citizen of Lincoln county, and she came here with him and has made the her home ever since. After his death in 1883, she remained here on her handsome farm and reared her children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and lived to see thm all honored and respected citizens of their communities. To Mr. and Mrs. Shanks five children were given, one daughter, Rebecca, dying in young childhood [1884]. Those who survive are Mrs. H. Kirby Bourne, of New Castle, at whose home the mother was vistiting when the end came: William Carroll Shanks, who farms the old homestead at the edge of Stanford on lower East Main street; Thomas H. Shanks, a prominent lawyer, and John H. Shanks, a business man both of Columbus, Georgia. Mrs. Shanks’ father, Hartwell Bailey, was a brother of Carroll Biley, father of Judge James P. Bailey, of this city, and the other lines she was connected with families whose names have been synonymous with the early history and progress of the state of Kentucky. In early life she became a member of the Christian church, and throughout her long life, was ever devoted to its work for the cause of her Master. She was ready for the summons when the Death Angel come for her, and behind her leaves an example which will ever be a bright and shining light for her children and those who come after them. The body was brought here from New Castle Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Bourns and after services at her home this afternoon conducted by her paster, Rev. D. H. Walker, the mortal remains were placed beside those of her husband who had gone so long before in Buffalo Springs cemetery. [John H.

SHANKS, Samuel Hamilton

SHANKS, Samuel Hamilton September 18, 1835 – April 01, 1912 Mr. Samuel Hamilton Shanks died at two o'clock Monday morning at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. C. E. Tate, in this city, to which place he was taken from the bank when stricken with his fatal illness about a month ago. It was felt from the first that he could not recover, on account of his extreme age and frail physical condition and his disease has finally thwarted the tenderest nursing and best medical skill. All of the members of his family were with him at the last. Mr. Shanks has spent the whole of his life in this county, where he was born 76 years ago in September last. He was one of the 12 children of William Shanks and Rebecca Baughman, 11 of whom lived to maturity, and four of whom yet survive, namely, Mrs. M. A. Hocker, Mrs. Nannie Logan, Mrs. S. J. Embry, and Mrs. Virginia Grimes. His parents were of substantial Scotch-Irish stock, and came here from Virginia at an early date and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. W. H. Shanks on the Somerset pike, where the deceased was born and which has been owned by members of the family for 120 years. His parents and their descendants have always been numbered among the most prominent citizens of this part of the state. In his young manhood Mr. Shanks was married to Miss Fanny Hocker, of Madison county, who is well remembered for her loveliness of character and beauty of person. She died about 37 years ago. He is survived by three children, Hon. W. H. Shanks, Mrs. T. A. Rice and Mrs. C. E. Tate, all of whom live in this community. In his early years Mr. Shanks, in partnership with his brother, J. H. Shanks, was engaged in mercantile pursuits, with farming and banking as side-lines, and he was successful in all of his undertakings. He has been president of the Lincoln two have occupied that position since the organization of the bank, and it owes its success to a large extent to the financial genius of these two men and Dr. J. B. Owsley, for many years its efficient cashier. Mr. Shanks retired from mercantile and farming pursuits several years ago and has since devoted his time exclusively to his duties as bank president. Mr. Shanks was a man of the highest order of integrity and had the utmost confidence of all who knew him. He was richly endowed with the traits that produce success, common sense that might well be classed as genius. He was of a kind and genial disposition, considerate of the rights of others, humble and unassuming, easily approachable, and liked by all with whom he came in contact. A kinder or more indulgent father never lived. His familiar figure will be sadly missed, and the whole community joins his family in sorrow because he is no more.

Funeral services will be conducted from the home of Mr. Tate this Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, services being conducted by Revs. Joseph Ballou and D. M. Walker. Interment will be in the Buffalo Springs Cemetery. [Fanny Hocker Shanks - b. 14 Aug 1847 – d. 05 Sep 1875 – Buffalo Springs Cemetery. ] ~ Saturday, July 06, 2013 – Lexington Herald News
