The body of little five-year-old Francis L. Shepard, the son of Mr. F.B. Shepard, of 30 East avenue, arrived in Atlanta yesterday morning from Brunswick, where the child died very suddenly Sunday. The death of the child was very sudden and entirely unexpected. Last Friday night he with his two brothers left for St. Simons in company with friends of the family. About 8 o’clock [or 3?] in the morning Francis became sick and when the party arrived in Brunswick he was immediately taken to the Oglethorpe hotel. At first it was thought he was not seriously ill, but later he grew worse and his father was sent for, arriving there Sunday morning. At 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon the child died. The funeral will take place at the home on East avenue this morning at 11 o’clock and this afternoon the body will be sent to Summerville, Pa., where it will be laid to rest beside his mother.
