Franklin Recorder - 10/13/1886

Stewart Sheppard, grandson of Amos Shepparrd, died last Thursday morning, (October 7, 1886), after a serious illness of but a few days. We are without particulars but we would have liked to have been able to tell something about him, whose little body was laid to rest in the Maysville Cemetery.
(He was 11 years old and died of Menengitis, according to death certificate.)
