  • Notes 
    • The obituary of William Jackson (Jasper) Shufflebarger: W. J. Shufflebarger was born November 12, 1832 in Pulaski County, Virginia. On September 21, 1854, he was married to Keziah Wygal, with whom he lived until February 13, 1907, when God called him to his reward. From the close of the Civil War he had been a great sufferer with rheumatism, brought on by exposure. He professed religion at Marion, Virginia in a meeting held by Rev. George Stuart sometime during the war. After the war he moved back to his home in Bland County. In 1870 he sold his home and moved to Lee County, near the Hurricane. He had been class leader at his home in Bland. He was Sunday School superintendent at the Hurricane for a number of years. He was postmaster at Dryden, Virginia for the last ten years of his life. His office was well kept. For six or seven years he went on crutches. His wife was a faithful helpmate indeed. He always held family prayers with his children, and was anxious for them to live right, and so advised them. He took la-grippe and did not seem dangerous until a day or so before he died. A good man has gone to rest. We know where to find him.
