1. Copied from the History of Vernon County:
"SHELBY BROCKMAN (Of the Firm of Pierce, Brockman & Co.,
Dealers in General Merchandise, Moundville).
Though Mr. Brockman has only been established in his present
business but a comparatively short time, a sufficient period has
elapsed to render him widely and favorably known as a merchant.
The firm of which he is a member is composed of Mr. Brockman,
John N. Pierce and W.E. Jones, all men of energy, determination
and good business characteristics, and the trade which has been
accorded the house speaks well for its reputation as well as its
management. Mr. Brockman owes his nativity to Adair county,
Ky., where he was born October 14, 1844, the fifth of eight children
resulting from the union of his parents, Carey and Rebecca
Brockman, formerly Perkins. The father was a farmer by calling,
and a representative Kentuckian, his wife also being a native of
that State. Most naturally, therefore, young Shelby was early
taught the rudiments of agricultural life. Growing up in the Blue
Grass country, he finally left there and came to Missouri, settling in
Johnson county, from whence in 1872 he moved to this county. A
location was chosen in Moundville township and here he devoted
himself to farming for a number of years, or until revoving to town,
where he entered into the butchering business for one year. In
1886, as stated, the present firm was organized, and since then all
his efforts have been placed towards the successful conduct of
this establishment. It is the truth to say that as a merchant Mr.
Brockman is held in high esteem. He has done considerable to
give the house the large patronage which it now enjoys, striving
at all times to keep well stocked and to sell at prices which will
come within the reach of all. Besides his connection with the affairs
of Moundville in a business capacity Mr. B. has also held official
positions, and at this time is mayor of the town. He is a member
of the A.O.U.W. In 1872 Miss Harriet Glenn became his wife, and
to them four children have been given: Dora A., Clemmie H.,
Franklin and Tenia W. Mrs. [B.] was born and reared in Johnson
county, Mo."
2. Shelby served in Company C, 13th Regiment, KY Infantry (Union)
in the Civil War.
3. Shelby's death was due to tuberculosis.
