He was active and industrious, a good manager and in independent of circumstances. He had an equitable temperment which permitted him to accept conditions as they arose. He never complained when yields were poor or prices low. He was intensely devoted to his family and fond of home and farm life. He was hospitable to a high degree and those who came under his rooftree were welcome with warmth which will always be with them. Unassuming he occupied a strong position within Madison Citizenry. he was good hearted and loyal to his family and his friends. Worthy trails of character predominated with him. Mr. Shiflett was a helpful member of Bethel Methodist church, Rochelle, for many years. Mr. Shiflett was born Feb. 7, 1859 and was therefore 74 years ? months and 22 days old.

ODIE O. SHIFFLETT
The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Wed, May 28, 2014
Odie O. Shifflett October 2, 1925 - May 25, 2014 Pictured here with his wife, Mattie B. Shifflett, deceased 2 years ago. Odie joined the Marine Corp. at age 17. His father had to sign giving his permission. I asked him years later why did he enlist. He said his brother and many friends were overseas and he wanted to do his part. When he came home he learned the Plumbing and Heating trade under the G. I. bill. Later he went in business for himself. He had many of the same customers for 40 years. He thought of his customers as good friends. After doing one job for them no one ever asked how long it would take or how much it would cost, because they had found an honest man. After retiring many of them would invite him to have dinner with them. When his friends were ill, he would put a bathroom on the main floor, so they didn't have to climb the stairs, and would not accept any pay. He leaves three sons, Carroll W. Shifflett and his wife, Helen, Steve Shifflett and his wife, Peggy, and Glenn Shifflett and his wife, Irene. I had the privilege of knowing my father for 68 years, and he never said anything bad about anyone. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. There will be no funeral.

Dr. Shiflett was a professor of Library and Information Studies at UNCG-Greensboro. He was born on August 1, 1947, in Melbourne, Florida, the son of James Winfield Shiflett and Elsie May Davis, now both deceased. Lee grew up in Malabar, Florida, and was a 1965 graduate of Melbourne High School. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Education from the University of Florida in 1969, a Master of Library Service from Rutgers University in 1971, and was awarded a doctorate in Library Science from Florida State University in 1979. Dr. Shiflett launched his professional career as an Acquisitions Librarian at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse in 1971. In 1976, he became Coordinator of Technical Services at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse library. After receiving his PhD, he began his work in library education as an Assistant Professor at the Louisiana State University School of Library and Information Science. He was awarded the rank of Professor in 1994 and retired from LSU as Professor Emeritus in 2001. While in Baton Rouge, Dr. Shiflett was active in the American Library Association, serving on various ACRL and Library Research Round Table committees and as Chair of the Library History Round Table. He also served the Association for Library and Information Science Education in various capacities, including co-chairing the 2002 ALISE conference. He was an active member of the Louisiana Library Association and a frequent presenter at its annual conferences. Dr. Shiflett was a scholar, a researcher, an editor, and an author.

He is remembered for his kindness, his caring, his generosity, and his dry sense of humor. He loved to read and always had a book, or two or three, in hand. He enjoyed playing the trumpet and had fond memories of his days with the South Brevard County Hurricanes Drum and Bugle Corps under the direction of Mamie Barnes. He loved car travel, particularly on the backroads away from the bustle of today's busy world.
