The Current Wave - Shannon County, Missouri, June 4, 1892
Killed in Self Defense - Perry Andres kills C. T. Chilton at Winona
Three Shots Through the Heart Seal the Doom of a Well Known Shannon County Man
The Result of an Old Fued - Andres Exonerated by the Coroner's Jury.
Son-in-law kills Father-in-law on Saturday just about half past 1 o'clock p.m.
Perry Andres shot and killed Charles Chilton at Winona, this county. The nature of the quarrel, as well as can be learned, was about as follows: Sometime last summer the only daughter of Chilton's married Andres contrary to the will of her parents, and since that time Chilton and Andres have been enemies. Early in the morning Charlie went over to Winona to the election, and learning that Andres was there, imbibed freely and threatened the life of his son-in-law. Parties knowing the ill-feeling existing between them managed to keep Andres away from Chilton until in the afternoon. Andres went into Church & Kissel's store to transact some business, and Chilton met him as he was coming out the door, and accosted with 'Where is my girl?' to which Andres replied 'She's at home!' 'God damn you, I'm going to kill you.' retorted Chilton, and smiting his action to his word threw his pistol on Andres and fired. Andres, by quick movement, struck Chilton's arm just as he, Chilton, pulled!
the trigger, knocking the pistol to one side, thus avoiding the charge, and quickly drawing his own weapon, a 34-caliber, placed it against Chilton's breast and fired three times in rapid succession. Chilton turned away, walked ten or twelve feet and fell on the sidewalk and expired without speaking, but still holding his pistol in his right hand with a firm grasp. Andres was promptly arrested and tried before Justice Evans and acquitted on the ground of justifiable homicide, as it was shown by the evidence that he acted in self defense. The corpse was removed home, which is about five miles north of Winona, the same night soon after the post mortem examination, and interred the next day in the family grave yard on the old Chilton farm, about one-half mile north of Eminence. Charlie was well known in this community, having been born and reared in this neighborhood. He married Miss [Josephine Arminta] Josie Singleton, daughter of the late Lyle Singleton, in 1869 or 1870, an!
d has two children, the eldest a young man in his 21st year, and the y
oungest a daughter, the wife of the man who murdered him. Mrs. Chilton has been in delicate health for several years and it is feared by her many friends that she will not survive the shock. We were well acquainted with the deceased, having known him for the last twenty-two years. He was kind and affable in manner, and affectionate to his wife and children. He has a host of relatives and friends, with whom we deeply sympathize in their sad hour of affliction. Murders are getting to be common occurrences in Shannon County nowadays. We have had no less than ten or twelve in the last ten years, and crime is almost daily on the increase. This is a sad state of affairs, and steps should be taken to prevent a repetition of such fearful tragedies.

This DNA project is open to any male with the last name of Shelton,
Skelton, Chilton or any other spelling that may have been written in
records where there is some confusion. This is a cheek swab test, no
needles. A kit is sent right to your home. The results take up to 6
weeks from when the kit is returned. Having your results published is
optional. You can keep your results totally private. Please start
with the 25 marker test as there is not enough information given in the
12 marker test to separate you out from several of the lines.
To see if your DNA matches anyone who has already tested, you can order
a kit here:

This page may also answer some of your questions.

Because the complete list is getting too large to send in its entirety,
I will only show new results. To view all of the
results, please see our web page.
The information on this page is only accurate on this particular date
using information that has been received and is subject to change at any
time with more and continuing information. If you have any questions,
