Three generations of Sheltons:
In the front is J Z Shelton, 1889-1989; behind him, his grandson, Von Toble Shelton, Jr., 1951-1974; and holding the fish, Vonette's father, Von Toble Shelton, Sr. 1914-1987.

All are buried in Springdale Cemetery, Sebree, Webster Co., Ky.

J Z Shelton's wife and Von Toble Shelton's mother was Zula Farmer Shelton.

Oh, yes - the catfish weighed in at thirty pounds!
