CONRAD SHUPPERT, farmer, was born in Baden, Germany, March 8, 1838, and came to this country 
with his parents, George and Mary (Braun) Shuppert, in 1848, and landed at Baltimore.  His 
parents, who brought four children with them (four having died before leaving home), remained 
in Maryland until their death, the father dying in 1865, aged sixty-eight years, and the mother 
in 1869, aged fifty-eight years.  Conrad had attended the schools in Germany, and, after 
arriving in this country, he attended the English schools for several months.  In April, 1861, 
he was married at York, Penn., to Sophia Bush, also a German, and has eight children:  
Margaret, Mary, Rosa, Katie, Annie, Joseph, Dora and Augusta.  The family ?? belong to the 
Catholic Church, in which he had been brought up.  In 1868 he removed from Baltimore County to 
his farm in Shrewsbury Township, containing about 140 acres, where he now resides.
