Barney Wilson Shockley
1921-1987
Gospel Preacher In Northwest Kentucky
Barney W. Shockley was a gospel preacher in the northwestern region of Kentucky. He lived in the small Ohio River village of Carrsville, and proclaimed the ancient gospel to those in the area. His wife Virginia and himself were key links to the message of salvation to many of those who came to know them. Their dedication should not be forgotten.
My first knowledge of brother and sister Shockley came about in October, 2013 while my wife and I were visiting with the church in Marion, Kentucky where my son was preaching at the time. I was visiting with one of the members, Virginia Quertermous, when she revealed to me that her father, Barney Shockly was a gospel preacher in that region years ago. To this I suggested that a website to honor him would be a great blessing to all those still living who remember his kindesses in their lives. She told me he was buried in the Carrsville Cemetery, and I made arrangements to go and find the grave. It is a great pleasure to be able to add this webpage to remember this hero of faith to many in the area surrounding his home.
Special thanks to James Shockly of Portland, Tennessee for providing the photo of his parents for this site. -12.2013
