Mr. & Mrs. Levi Shepard

 

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The residence of Dr. and Mrs. John E. Hurlburt, on West Main street, was the scene of a very pleasant gathering on Monday evening last, when Mrs. Hurlburt entertained a few relatives and old-time friends in honor of the 62d anniversary of the wedding of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Levi N. Shepard, who recently returned to Norwich form Chicago to make their home with her.  Supper was served at 6 o'clock and the evening passed most happily, an enjoyable part of the entertainment being several vocal solos by Miss Esther Wade.  Mr. and Mrs. Shepard were old-time residents of Norwich who left here in 1886.  Mr Shepard is now 87 years old, hale and hearty, and enjoys excellent health.  Mrs. Shepard, who was Miss Caroline Olendorf before her marriage, is now 79 years of age, and though her health is not as robust as that of her husband, she is rejoiced to return with him to the scenes of their younger days and the society of her daughter.  Mr. Shepard during his active years was a cutter of custom clothing and before going west was in the employ of Benjamin Slater.  While in Chicago he was for over 25 years connected with one firm as cutter. Their son, the late Henry O Shepard was at the head of the H.O. Shepard-Printing Company and owner of the Inland Printer.
