Bio

Sherod William Mikel, b. 2 June 1835 in Wayne Co., Ky. He died 5 Nov. 1926 Randolph Co., Mo. Thursday, 18 Nov 1926, Vol 40, No 29, Pg. 2 Col. 1 OUR HUNTSVILLE LETTER, By W. T. Dameron. (Edited by compiler)--Sherod W. Mikel, a well known farmer and citizen of Chariton township for more than a half century, passed away on Saturday night, November 5th, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lon Harlan, north of Clifton, in the 92nd year of his life. His aged wife preceded him to the grave about four year ago. Mr. Mikel was born in Wayne County, Ky., in 1835, and was 91 years and nearly six months old. He was the father of ten children, seven sons and three daughters, and four sons and one daughter survive. He was an honest man, true and faithful to his children and friends. One of the painful regrets of his life was the unfortunate difficulties and casualties that occurred at a school entertainment at Brush Creek school house about twenty-five years ago, in which he lost a son by death and the wounding of another in gun battle with Constable Jesse Stamper of Macon county, who had been invited to the entertainment to preserve order. The shooting occurred in the school house and the affray caused wide newspaper comment at the time. The brave old man, with his wife and a few children, came to this county in 1868. His funeral services were held at Brush Creek Union Church Monday following his death, conducted by Eld. Ramsey of the Christian church. Burial in a cemetery nearby.
