TWO ALDEN RESIDENTS PASSED AWAY THIS WEEK
JESS SHEPARD
Jesse Shepard passed away Sunday evening at the family home
northeast of Alden. Mr. Shepard suffered a severe illness about
two weeks ago but had recovered from that and had for a couple of
days been visiting with his sister, Mrs. Fred Parker. He returned
to his home Sunday morning and that evening suffered a stroke.
Mr. Shepard received a broken back a number of years ago and was
only able to get about in a wheel chair.
Funeral services were held from the home yesterday morning at
10:30, being conducted by Rev. Suckow and burial was made in the
Alden cemetery.
Deceased is survived by four brothers: L. C., Eugene, R. G., of
Ohio, and Deloss at home; and by three sisters, Grace and Mrs.
Fred Parker of Alden and Ollie of Los Angeles. He is also
survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Augusta Shepard.
The many friends of this family extend deep sympathy to them in
their sorrow.
