Notes for Morgan C. Shell
Morgan C. was a clerk in and near West Point for a few years after becoming grown... Morgan C. Shell entered the Confederate army in 1862, and belonged to the 31st Mississippi Infantry, army of the Tennessee, with which he took part in the various campaigns and battles until the engagement at Franklin, when he was wounded in the ankle by a ball, which resulted in the loss of his leg. After the war he followed the calling of a clerk until he was elected to the office of county and probate clerk, in 1866, serving until the spring of 1869, when he re-engaged in clerking. This calling occupied his time and attention until 1872, when he and his brother and Mr. Smith, P.W. Shell's brother-in-law, opened a mercantile establishment in Houston, Mississippi... The various members of the Shell family have been strict adherents of the principles of democracy and he is a member of the Masonic fraternity and served for a number of years as master of the lodge of Houston. He is a charter member of the Knights of the Golden Rule, and he, as well as the other members of his family, is a member of the Methodist Church South.
