Art,   I checked out your picture of the Shady Rest stone, do you know if that is still there? I used to drive route 13 about once a week to Harrisburg but never seen anything about the location being marked. I always imagined the Sheltons flying overhead dropping what is called the "first aerial bomb on U.S. soil" over Shady Rest. I work in Mt. Vernon Illinois, a town about 20 miles west of Fairfield. Been talking to some of the older guys about the Sheltons brothers. They have been telling me the location to Pond Creek Bottoms and that Fairfield has a place in town depicting the Sheltons era. Benton has the Franklin County jail house that they have turned into a museum and it has information from the Charlie Birger days. I would say the day of his hanging was quite an event. With all this history so close I think I will make a day of finding out and seeing more of it. Thanks for keeping the history alive!
