LAKE STREET COUPLE
 MARRIED 60 YEARS
MT. and Mrs. James Shepard Will Observe Wedding
 Anniversary Thursday.

On Thursday, September 25, MT and Mrs. James Shepard, of Lake street, will observe the 6Oth anniver- sary of their wedding. The couple are undoubtedly the oldest living in this city.
 MT. Shepard is a native of South on May 16, 1898. He resided there until 1861. The common schools and the Lewis academy gave him the be- ginning of an education and later he entered a factory, where he learned tOolmaking. In 1866 he received his final instructions as a machinist and began to work for himself
 Mir. and Mrs. Shepard were mar ried in Bristol on September 25, 1859. Mrs. Shepard is the daughter of the late MT. and Mrs. William Gaylord Curtis, of that city, and spent her early life there. The couple moved to this city for the first time in 1861, and in 1862 they moved back to Bristol. While in that city MT. Shep- ard began the business of solicitor of patents, which occupation he has never changed, excepting that, since 1873, he has frequently testified as a patent expert before the United States circuit courts.
 After a third of a century of expe- rience in soliciting patents, MT. Shepard ranks as one of the best and most sl1illful solicitors in the country Statistics filed at the national capitol show that there is not another soli- citor or agent for patents in the New England States who has been in the business as long as he has. His repu- tation as a mechanical expert has gained him prominence throughout the country, as he has testified in cases in the United States circuit courts from California to Oregon in the West, from Pennsylvania to Maine in the East, and from Wiscon- sin in the North to Louisiana in the South.
 Although MT. Shepard first opened his office in New Britain in 1868, he did not remove from Bristol to New Britain until 1876. When in Bristol he was one of the leaders of the re- publican party and has been a strong supporter of this party for many years in this city.
