General Notes: Husband - William G. Sheppard


He came from east of the mountains and during the civil war was sergeant in Company L, Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. He saw much hard service and was wounded while at the front. For many months he was con­fined in the Andersonville and Libby prisons and his death was the result of hardships en­dured during his military career. After the close of hostilities he was a teamster for the Standard Oil Company for a time, but event­ually moved back to his old homestead in Ve­nango county, where his death occurred at the age of sixty years.
