died February "a, 1899. aged 72 years
and 8 months. She was married to
jeremiah Asher, November 26, 1887.
To them were born.three SONS and two
daughters-Nancy J., Joseph 8. L
Mary ", Cassius N B. and Cortez H.,
all of whom have preceded her but one,
Cassius N. Her husband, Jsrem iah
Asher, died August 2. 1852
In September 1858, she was united in
marriage to William Shepherd, who
died February IA, 1871. To this union
was born one daughter, Helena Ellis
Atkinson. Mrs. Shepherds maiden
name was Austin, being the last survi-
vor of family of thirteen. Her parents
Josiah and Sarah Austin, settled or
what is now known as the Milton Greer
farm, in 1919. Mr.. Austin and hi
family had much to do, not only il
making garden of wilderness, but il
shapeing the moral sentiment of thi
community. 4 am persuaded, that il
no family that it has been my privileg
to know, is the spirit of honesty ant
integrity more fesrlessly fixed.
Mrs. Shepherd was an invalid fo
m any years, yet she was hopeful, cheer
full and sympathetic, and generous t

Patriotism,

Rev. s. s. Adams preached q sermon
last Sunday evening, at the Lutheran
church, on Patriotism. He belives that
our best Christians makes the best
patriots, and that our brave patriotic
volunteers in the late Americans Spanish
war are not only patriotic, but philan
thropic as we'll.
Patriots will 60 to war in defense Of
their own country and homes, but these
did more. They not only gave their
service for the honor of their country,
but for the defense of the God given
rights of other people. and other homes
in which they have no selfish interests
These soldiers have no better friend
and defender than Rev. Adams,
