Since writing the above I have been
making more researches, and in the
cemetery near Dea. Bakers in Green's
boro, | find on an old double head
stone the following inscription: ASH
bel Shepard, died June 4, 1903, aged
As years; Mary. wife Of Ashbel Shep-
ard, died June 9, 1909, aged 46
years." And in the same yard I find
on an old stone placed between two
granite posts, some four feet apart
and three feet wide, the following
inscription: "Susan Shepard, wife of
Col. Levi Stevens died September 26,
1902, aged "a years Sally, daughter of
Col. Levi and Susan Stevens, died
November 8, 1894. aged one year !;
Matilda. daughter of Col. Levi and
Susan Stevens, died October 7, 1902.
aged II years; Mary, daughter of Col.
Levi and Susan Stevens, died Sep
TENDER "a, 1902, aged 2 years Loisa,
daughter of Col. Levi and Susan Ste
vens. died September 80, 1902, aged 8
years." So it appears that one
daughter died September "a, the moth
err died September 26, and another
daughter died September 30, and still
another daughter died October 7

eleven days.
