Biography

Rev. William Finn Shepard was born in 1797 in New York. The monument at the Shepard Family Cemetery could be read as giving his birth year as either 1791 or 1797. Shepard Families of New England (Source 370) gives it as 1794. The order in which it is listed on the monument suggests that it is 1797. His age of 62 in the 1860 census also tends to confirm the 1797 birth year. The cemetery records give his death as January 1864 at age 65, which would make him born in about 1799.^1,2,3 He married Sarah H. Thrall. William died on 16 March 1864, in Contra Costa County, California, at age ~67.⁴ He was buried in Alhambra (aka Pioneer) Cemetery, Martinez, Contra Costa County, California, in Lot 5.

From: Don Shepard

I finally located William Finn Shepard's grave at Martinez Cemetery, near their home at Clayton, Contra Costa County, California. I don't have all my info with me, but I think his death was the 16 or 18 of Jan 1864, and I have a letter he wrote to (can't remember) telling of the death of a (???) Stevens. William Finn Shepard's wife Sarah Thrall's mother was a Stevens, as was one of his son's wife. When I get home, bug me till I come up with the facts, not memories. At 80 I have a hard time with lots of these things. Anyway, some of the family went west to get all that GOLD, but I think that most stuck to farming and ranching.⁵

Ethel Margie Shepard+ (b. 7 March 1881, d. 21 August 1962)

Biography

Herbert was born on 25 May 1859 in Osage Township, Mitchell County, Iowa.

Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard married Adelaide (Addie) A. McDuffee, daughter of Daniel McDuffee and Laura Ann Renslow, on 28 July 1878 in Auburn Township, Fayette County, Iowa.

Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard died on 3 March 1892 in Farmington Township, Lake County, South Dakota, at age 32. He was buried on 6 March 1892 in Graceland Cemetery, Madison, Lake County, South Dakota, in Block 17, Lot 7, Grave 11.¹

Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard appeared on the census of 1860 in the household of Luther David Shepard and Margaret Jane Shepard in Osage Township, Mitchell County, Iowa, which lists the Shepard family (Luther, 26, Margaret, 18, and son Herbert, 1).² Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard appeared on the census of 1870 in the household of Luther David Shepard and Margaret Jane Shepard in Auburn Township, Fayette County, Iowa.

Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard and Adelaide (Addie) A. Shepard moved from Auburn Township, Fayette County, Iowa, to to Farmington Township, Lake County, Dakota Territory. in May 1878.

On May 17, 1880, Herbert A. Shepard filed Application No. 13230 for a Homestead on the Northwest Quarter of Section 9, Township 107, Range 53, containing 160 acres, at the Madison, Dakota Territory, Land Office. On May 20, 1880, he paid $14 for entry of the land. On May 22, 1885, he filed his Homestead Proof for the land. He was 26 years old. On May 15, 1880, he had established residence and built a 14 x 20 feet, 1 1/2 story house on the land, a 14 x 24 feet barn, valued at $500, and broken 75 acres. He was married to wife Addie and they had one child, Ethel. He had cultivated the 75 acres for three seasons. His last name and signature on this Homestead Proof (and some of the later documents) is Shephard. On May 26, 1885, he made the $4 balance of payment required for entry of the land. The Homestead Application was approved on October 15, 1885.

Herbert Arthur (Burt) Shepard and Adelaide (Addie) A. Shepard appeared on the census of 15 June 1880 in Farmington Township, Lake County, Dakota Territory, which shows Herbert, 21, and Addie, 20, "Allen" [sic; should be "Shepard"], with Herbert listed as being a farmer and Addie as keeping house.³

By Certificate No. 5767, dated 30 June1886, Herbert A. Shephard [sic] obtained 160 acres of government land (legally described as the Northwest Quarter of Section 9, Township 107 North, Range 53 West ) in Lake County, Dakota Territory. His father, Luther D. Shepard, acquired the East 1/2 of Section 9, and his brother Edson C. Shepard the SW1/4, so together they owned all 640 acres of Section 9.⁴

The Friday, 4 March 1892, issue of the Madison [Lake County, South Dakota] Sentinel carried the following obituary under "Ramona Department":

Death of Bert Shepard
This community [Ramona, Lake County, South Dakota] was shocked to learn of the sudden death of Bert Shepherd [sic] at his home near Ramona, early Thursday [3 March 1892] morning. The deceased had been unwell for a couple of weeks, but took to his bed only two or three days previous, and rheumatism of the heart was the immediate cause of his sudden demise. Being a robust man of powerful physique, the very picture of health, his death was the less expected, and the report seems almost incredible. Mr. Shephard [sic] was one of the early settlers of [Lake] county, and is well and favorably known as one of the leading young farmers of this section. The deceased leaves an invalid wife [Addie McDuffee Shepard] and one child [Ethel Margie Shepard]. Also, parents, brothers and sisters living near him. The community extends sympathy to the sorrowing family. The funeral will be held from the home at 10 a.m. Sunday [6 March 1892], and Rev. C. E. Hager, pastor of the Methodist church of Madison, will conduct the services.

Shepard, one of Madison's most accomplished and popular young women, occurred here this morning [16 July 1901]. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett left for Minneapolis immediately after the ceremony to spend their honeymoon.

The Madison [SD] Daily Sentinel wrote warmly of the couple:

"The bride is one of Madison's most highly accomplished and estimable young ladies, and had surrounded herself with a large circle of admiring friends, among whom she was a general favorite. She had acquired a excellent education, graduating from the High School in this city [Madison, SD] with the class of 1901 with high honors. The groom is equally well known throughout the community . . . He is a young man of exemplary habits and rare business ability and enjoys the confidence and good wishes of all his associates. The Sentinel joins with their hosts of warm friends here in extending to Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett heartiest congratulations, and trusts that their full share of all the good things and prosperity will be heaped upon their heads."

Hiram Belknap and Sarah Rosella Eastman appeared on the census of 1840 in Fowler, Saint Lawrence County, New York.⁵

In 1856, the Hiram and Sarah (Eastman) Belknap family moved from New York to Wisconsin, which was a great undertaking in those days. From there they moved in 1863 to Aubrurn, Fayette County, Iowa. At this time, Auburn was one the the largest towns in Fayette County, and Hiram plied his trade, that of a shoemaker, with great success.
A peculiar feature of this family was that both parents were cripples, Hiram having lost a leg in early life, and Sarah having suffered a paralytic stoke at the age of sixteen years [in about 1824] from which she never fully recovered. Hiram died in December, 1873, as the result of a fall on the ice, while returning from the village store. After the death of Hiram, Sarah lived with her children the rest of her days. She died at the home of her daughter Edith at Madison, South Dakota, at the age of eighty-four years. [Source: 1910 History of Fayette County, Iowa, page 1171].
