The Belding Banner, Wednesday, June 20, 1917

Warren Shepard passed away at his home on the north side Tuesday morning, aged 
seventy-seven years, after a continuous sickness of about two months, during 
the most of the time, being confined to his bed.

Mr. Shepard was born in Oneida County, New York.  He and his family came to 
Belding about twenty-six years ago.  He was a soldier in the Civil war, having 
enlisted in 1862 in the ninety-third New York regiment, and was obliged to 
leave the service on account of impaired health.  A few years ago he was 
granted a pension.

Beside his wife, who is in feeble health, he leaves three daughters—Mrs. W. H. 
Eckler, Maude and Bessie, and two sons—Clarence and William.  Mr. Shepard was 
a member of Dan S. Root Post G.A.R. and affiliated with the Latter Day Saints’ 
church of this city.

The funeral will be held Thursday from the house at two o’clock and at the 
M.E. church at 2:30 p.m., with burial in the old cemetery.  

Thus the old veterans are passing and answer the last roll call one by one.
