Notes for John Shelton
Information on John Shelton and his families is from Phil McBrayer's files, Sept. '93.

Possibly the John P. Shelton listed in the Kentucky Death Index as dying 22 Jan 1942, age 67, in Laurel Co., residence same, certificate Vol. 4, #01799. I have no evidence that this John Shelton moved to Laurel Co., but the age is a good match, and there is no John Shelton listed as dying or residing in Rowan Co.
Notes for Lula B. Cornett
Index to Kentucky death records lists Lula B. Shelton, d. 9 Aug 1914, age 29, in Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 45, #22188.
