WILLIAM RODES SHACKELFORD, son of James T. Shackelford and Mary Keene, was 
born in Richmond October 26, 1869.  He was educated at Central University, 
from which institution he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts June, 
1887, and that of Master of Arts in 1888.  He taught school for two years, 
after which he attended the law school of the University of Virginia.  He 
was admitted to the Richmond bar January, 1891, where he practiced law 
until he qualified as Judge of Madison County, January 3, 1910.  He was 
reelected and qualified, January, 1914.  Judge Shackelford is in the prime 
of life.  Qualified by birth, education and training for a career of great 
usefulness, his friends confidently expect other and higher honors to come 
to him.
     He married his cousin, Miss Annie Louise Clay, daughter of Hon. 
Cassius M. Clay, of Bourbon County, and their home is one marked by 
simplicity and hospitality.
     Judge Shackelford received all the degrees of York Rite Masonry in the 
local bodies.  He was made a Master Mason February 12, 1901, and the same 
year was exalted a Royal Arch Mason.   He was elected Master of his Lodge 
December, 1903.  He was elected High Priest of his Chapter first September, 
1901, and has been reelected four times, having served oftener in that 
position than any Companion in the history of the local Chapter with two 
exceptions.  He was elected Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter October, 
1914.  He was Knighted in Richmond Commandery April, 1901, and became 
Commander April, 1905.  In Masonic positions as in all others entrusted to 
him, he has been found faithful in the discharge of his duties.
