FATHER JAMES SHEPHERD.
The subject of this notice was born
in the state of Maryland on the loth
day of March, 1800. He moved to
Clinton County, Ohio, with his par.
ents in 1803, where he resided till
1827. March 7th, 1821, he was uni
ted in marriage to Jane Sherman
with whom he lived a joyous and
happy life till Sept 22nd, 1870,
when death came and took his com
panion from his side after a journey
of almost fifty years togather. In
the spring of 1872, lie emigrated from
Ohio and settled in sangamon county
Illinois, remaining there till October,
1844, when he again went west and
lucaiuu m xveubnuquu, xu a. r hub
i i i tr t "nn :i a!
living in Illinois, ne neia several po
sitions of honor and trust, having
been several times elected assesor
and colector of Sangamon county,
and was Colonel of the State Militia
for several years. He was an inti
mate of both Douglass and Lincoln,
and he had on several occasions met
and discussed the political issues of
the da' with Mr. Lincoln and other
whig speakers on the stump. In
1840 he became a resident of Spring
field, Illinois, and assisted in the ed
itorial department of the "Illinois
State Register." In July, 1843, he
fitted out an office and sent his oldest
son, J. M. Shepherd, and J. L. T.
Mitchell, both young men, and prac
tical printers, with the office to Keo
sauqua, Iowa, where he had been
and made all necessary arrange
ments for the starting of a paper to
be called the Iowa Democrat. The
name of the paper was changed by
the jublishers, however, and was
called the Iowa Democrat, and Des
Moines River Intelligencer, and run
as an independent paper, Mr, Mitch
ell being a whig. In July, 1844, he
again visited Keosauqua and bought
the interest of Mr. Mitchell and
started the paper on its second year
as- a democratic paper, as it was first
designed. In October, 1844, he
ipoved co Keosauqua with his fam
ily, and continued the publication of
the' 'Iowa Democrat,' 'which was the
only paper off the Mississippi river
and south of Iowa City, till 1850,
when he sold the office. In 18O0,.
he with his son, J. S Shepherd;
(now editor of the Cory don Dem--ocrat,)
bought the Des Moines News
office at Keosauqua, which paper
they continued to publish tiU lS,
when they sold the office and went
out of the publishing busineps. Col
Shepherl was a prominent politician
in his younger days; was elected to
the territorial council in 1846, and
in later years was several times sup
ported by his party for the legisla-'
ture and other positions.
He was extensively known iri
Southern Iowa, having been engag
ed in the hotel business" at Keo
sauqua for many years, when travel
by stages was the only mode of con-
Veyance;
He united with the M. E. Churcli
about the year 1836, arid continued
a consistent and zealous member till
the hour of his death. In 1872 he
was licensed to preach, and the latter
years of his life he dedicated almost
wholly to . the work of the 'Divine
Master. Ho was also an honored
and worthy member of the Masonic
order,having been a worker in spec-'
ulative masonry for up-rc a'ds of forty
vears. He was a charter member of
Keosauqua Lodge, No. 10, and was
its Master for Many years. He was
also a R. A. Master and a member
of the council. He filled the offie'e"
of Junior Grand "Warden of the
Grand Lodge of Iowa, and was Dep
uty Grand High Priest in 1864. He'
was a lover of the institution and
his counsel was sought by the breth
ren of the fraternity on many ritual
istic points and disputed ancient
landmarks. He was alwavs warmlv
greeted when present at the meet
ings of the Grand Lodge, and was
called a "father in Masonr," as
well as a "father in Israel."
He was the father of thirteen chil
dren, six daughters and seven sons.
The six daughters have been called
hence one by one, tillithey have all
gone before, the last oiie proceeding
him only two weeks, and two sons'
were taken away in their in'fonc'
leaving five sons, two of whom live'
in Oregon, to mourn his departure.
He made two trips to the Pacific
t COftst Qne in lg70 and jn lg78
returning the last time in October,
1879. His last hours were like the'
still waters of the Jordan, calm not
a ripple on the face and the breath
of life pmssed away like the strains
of sweet music he went to .sleep in
the arms of Jesus, who, he said a
few hours before, was his hope and
his salvation, and all was bright be
yond. His remains were laid away
by the side of his carnpanion, in the
cemeteiy at Keosauqua Iowa, by the
Masonic fraternity, under the direc
tion of Keosauqua Lodge, No 10 on
Wednesday afternoon, September
15th, 1880 , J. S. S,
