the morning of the funeral
Seldom has this community been so
shocked as on Tuesday morning of last
week when it was reported that Carl NJ
Shepard was dying. During the past nine
months Carl had been in the bookstore of
ID. F. Long in Montpelier and had also at
tended the Union school. By his genial
good nature and gentlemanly conduct he
had endeared himself to all with whom he
came in contact. Here, in his native viii
lage, where he had always lived, he had
friend in everybody. His smiling face, his
had endeared himself to every one. He
always had good word for everybody he
met and was general favorite. His sud
den death is great shock to the family
To say that the bereaved relatives have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire community
but family expresses the sentiment of our
people. The funeral was held on Wednes-
day, with interment at the center of the
town. The flowers were elegant and pro-
fuse, many of them coming from Mont
pelier.
