    Notes 
    • Newspaper item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Nov 6 1913:
      "Shortly before four o'clock Tuesday morning, Mr. L. C. Shannon's barn was discovered to be on fire by a couple of fox hunters returning home. The alarm was quickly given but a few moments and the four tons of unbaled hay was a mass of flames and nothing could be done to save either the building or its contents.
      "A valuable pair of young horses worth $40 to $500 were burned to death. In all some nine or ten tons of hay, about 100 bushels of unthrashed oats, and about 100 bushels of unthrashed wheat was destroyed. Mr. Shannon also lost all of his working and driving harness.
      "The total loss is estimated as something over $2000, the barn being a good serviceable structure with cement basement and foundation."

      Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, October 7 1915, in its entirety:
      "Carl S. Pease has just erected a splendid granite monument at the I.O.O.F. cemetery on the L. C. Shannon lot."
