DAVID E. SHEPPARD

  David Edward Sheppard, aged 55 years and 11 months, a veteran barber of 
Meyersdale, passed away this (Thursday) morning at 5:45 o'clock at the Sheppard 
family home on Large Street, following a brief illness.  While his health had 
been impaired for some time, his condition did not become serious until this 
week.
  He was a son of the late David R. Sheppard, a pioneer barber of Meyersdale.  
He learned the barbering trade under the tutelage of his father, and after the 
latter's death nine years ago, he and three of his brothers took over the 
business founded by their father and have continued it since under the firm name 
of Sheppard Bros.
  Surviving are these brothers and sisters: Isabel, of Baltimore, Md.; Emma, 
Mary Jane, Mervin, Reese and Theodore, all at home; Mrs. William Furst, of 
Washington, D.C.; William, of Baltimore.
  Mr. Sheppard was an upright industrious man, and a first class workman in his 
vocation.  He was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church.  Funeral services 
will be held at 11 o'clock Sunday morning at the family home, Rev. Tollie 
Caution of Cumberland, Md., officiating.  Interment will be in union Cemetery, 
in charge of Undertaker W. C. Price.
