Jones Withers Shuford (1861-1949) was a prominent businessman, banker, city and county official, church trustee and member of numerous fraternal organizations. Shuford was the son of Robert M. Shuford and was born in Shelby County, Alabama. His family removed to farms in Lincoln County and later settled in Catawba County – adjoining the farm of Dr. Frederick Foard – after a brief residence in Carrollton, Georgia. … Shuford attended a school in Hickory taught by Rev. Jeremiah Ingold and Professor George W. Hahn. At first he taught school and sometime thereafter worked in the Field Brothers store, but eventually established a general merchandise store with J.S. Setzer. In 1903 Shuford bought a furniture and undertaking business from J.E. Haithcock which he operated until his death. The businesses survived him. A former mayor (1915) Shuford was also a city alderman, county coroner, and member of the County Board of Commissioners. … Shuford purchased the property on which the house was built from W.S. Stroup in 1898 and 1900. It wassold at public auction in 1950 in the settlement of Shuford's estate to Mr. and Mrs. Claude S. Abernathy.Photographed By Duane and Tracy Marsteller, February 3, 20242.
