called when she suffered an attack
tried unsuccessfully to revive her.
Mrs. Shepard was widely known
as the social editor of the Spokes-
man and Recorder papers and had
been so employed since 1858.
A native Of Starkville, Mississ-
ippi, she was brought to Minneapo-
lis by her parents while she was a
small child. She was educated in
the Minneapolis public schools, was
a graduate of South High school
and attended a business school.
She was the widow of John r.
(Shep) Shepard, veteran Great
Northern R.R. man. The couple
were perhaps the first Negroes to
construct a new house on the Min
neapolis Southside.
When the home was constructed
in the late 1920's it was a Twin
City showplace.
Mrs. Shepard was for years a
trusted office employee of French's,
an interior decorating and furnish
ings firm catering to a wealthy
clientele. Furniture and appoint
ments in her home indicated her
knowledge of the business.
In the early 30's she left the
firm which succeeded French's
and retired to become a full-time
housewife. A few years after the
death of Mr.. Shepard, she became
one Of the early Negro sales clerks
at Dayton's, working part-time.
She joined the staff Of the
Spokesman and Recorder in Janu-
ary, 1858 and worked on these
papers until the time Of her death
She became known to thousands of
Twin Citians by her work in this
field.
She gained the reputation Of be-
ing the most thorough social and
personals writer in the field, being
particularly well known for her ex-
cellent coverage Of parties and
weddings.
Mrs. Shepard for years was a
member of Bethesda Baptist
church and was the first Negro
woman elected to the board OF
directors of the Minneapolis wv
CA.
Her sudden death resulted in a
flood Of calls Monday to the news
paper offices in Minneapolis Tues
day as word of her demise spread
Many expressed profound shock
and praised her for the work she
did on the newspaper and in the
community.
Survivors include two brothers,
William Ambrose and Charles w.
Glenn both Of Minneapolis, a sister,
Mrs. Minnie Alexander and a
nephew, Charles all of Minneapolis.

some controversy, has developet
With the Council of Clubs
all-time high of 48 clubs, and m
demanded of it, interest is mou
regarding this years election of
officers. The concern is especially
strong this year - apparently for
the reason that almost a complete
new slate Of officers are to be
chosen. Only two incumbents of the
outgoing administration are on
record as being candidates for re-
election.
Nomination Committee Slate
The nomination committee of
the Council, headed by Wayne
Glanton, a pioneer figure Of the
Councils development, presented a
very representative slate of offic-
ers at the December meeting of the
Twin City Council of Clubs. The
proposed slate included representa-
ton from Is organizations.
It includes persons well-Enown
in the community for club and civic
activity. Persons names were SUBJ
mitted after quite bit of consul
tation by the committee with presi-
dents of affiliated groups.
The suggested slate is as follows:
president, Earl MCGEE, Loafers,
Inc; vice president, Rosemary
Micheau, Les Amies; treasurer,
Queen Taylor, Happy Birthday
Club; secretary, Virginia Tinsley,
Urban League Guild; asst. sec'y.
Mary Ann Faison, Cresiteundo
Club; parliamentarian, Bea Hall,
Unique Cosmetology Unit; sgt-at-
arms, Carl Claiborne, Cameo Club
and public relations director, Matt
hew Little and Royal Twenty.
Executive Committee nominees
are: Erma Mazingo, Cameo Club;
Verda Horn, Paradise Club and
Edward Greene, Johnny Baker
Post 291.
Variance OF Opinion
OF late there apparently has de-
veloped a variance of opinion relat-
ing to the various officer selec-
tons.
For example, a representative of
one Of the smaller social clubs, who
requested that her name be not
disclosed, stated rather fatty that
she and her representatives would
push more strongly for the cleo
ton of more officers from the
smaller clubs.
Another club representative con-
tacted was concerned about the
balance of officers between Min
neapolis and st. Paul. His concern
was that either city did not domin-
ate the key offices. These and
other Inducements seem to in
dicate that virtually every office
will be contested; with strong par
tison support for all candidates.
Wayne Glanton, Of the nominal
ing committee was encouraged by
the concern being shown by the
clubs. He emphasized that the slate
of his committee is a mere re-
commentator to the assembly. The
actual nominations, he pointed out,
must be approved by the body at
the meeting Monday night.
At that time additional names
may be nominated for all posi-
tons, he said.
Urged To Be On Time
Because Of the interest being
shown, club representatives, presi-
dents, and other interested men,
bers are urged to be on time. The
meeting will be called to order at 8
pm. sharp. Presiding will be out
going president, Matthew Little.
The host club will be the Nacirema
Club, Thomas Johnson, president.

Background
