Henry R. Shelton
Died Aug 1890
Posted by Jean

Frisco Herald - 7 Aug 1890
On Sunday night H. R. Shelton who lives on the NW quarter of Sec
8, T 13 R 6 and about five miles northwest from this place, was
shot and almost instantly killed by W. P. McCarling, who has a
claim adjoining Shelton's on the south. It appears that
McCarling suspected that there was an improper intimacy between
Shelton and his wife and but a few minutes before the shooting,
a sister-in-law of McCarling warned Shelton that his visits to
McCarling's home would create trouble. When Shelton in a
laughing way made light of it, McCarling discovering Shelton
went out and obtained a shotgun loaded with buckshot and killed
him while sitting in a chair, the charge taking effect in the
breast. Mr. McCarling immediately went to El Reno to deliver
himself to Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald.
Frisco Herald - August 28, 1890
Mrs. Henry Shelton, widow of the man killed by McCartney, three
weeks ago, has been heard from. She and her five children are
at Stockton, Mo., and are in absolutely destitute
circumstances. She will now come to this county and take
possession of her late husband's claim, as well as the horses
and cattle which he owned. Shelton had deserted his family and
the notice of his death was the first they had heard of him in a
year or more.
