The Portland Review, September 23, 1948
Mrs. Elmer J. Shepard, 80, died suddenly at her home in Lansing last Saturday 
morning from a blood clot after an illness of less than an hour.  Funeral 
services were held at a Lansing chapel Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Julius 
Fishbeck, of Lansing First Baptist church officiating.  Burial was in Danby 
cemetery.  Bearers were all former neighbors, Richard and Robert Selden, Hugh 
Whitmore, Leo Kerr, Roy Dravenstatt, Mark Brokaw.  Burial was in Danby 
cemetery.

Mrs. Shepard’s maiden name was Lillian Dale and she was born at Owen Sound, 
Ontario.  She came to the vicinity of Eagle when a girl and married Mr. 
Shepard at the farm home of her parents, Henry and Mary Dale.  The couple 
lived in that vicinity for over 50 years, celebrating their golden wedding 
before leaving the farm to live in Lasing.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Shepard were 
active workers in Portland Baptist church for years, transferring to Lansing 
church when they moved to that city.

The husband survives, as do two daughters, Mrs. R. J. Parisian, Lansing, and 
Mrs. A. J. McCormack, Portland R3, and there is a grandson, James McCormack.
