Her aged parents and two sisters still reside at Keosauqua. One brother, Walter V., who lived at Mt. Ayr about three years ago, now residing at Bentonsport, and a brother in Colorado also survive her. Mrs. Shepherd was mild and affectionate in her disposition, a loving wife and mother. It was her lot to pass many long years in affliction. She earnestly hoped to visit her parents in June, but was compelled by her illness to give this up, and on the evening of May 28, 1890, her spirit passed away from earth, all her family being near her excepting Mrs. Hartshorn. After funeral services at the residence on May 30th, her remains were accompanied by loving friends to Keosauqua for interment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
