Query: My grandmother and grandfather were married in Norton, but both families had homes in Norcatur, Decatur County. My grandmother, Mattie Vernon (b. 1909) was the daughter of Clint and Emma Vernon, who were well known around those parts. My grandfather, Floyd David Shepard was the son of John D. Shepard and Cora Mason Shepard who had come to Kansas from Indiana. They had an older son, Carl Mason Shepard. The father and /or possibly sons owned a service station during the teens or twenties. John D. Shepard (b. 1874) died young-he had a neurological disease that he passed on to his sons- and Cora remarried a man named Wickham. In the thirties the entire family (including my grandmother) moved west to Colorado and eventually Washington State. But I still would like to find the final resting place of John D. Shepard, and what became of him through his illness. In fact, I do not even have a year for his death. If anyone has any clues for me I'd be most grateful.
