I currently reside in Gurdon, AR. I now suffer from poor health and don't have the stamina to walk around cemeteries too often anymore. But I'm still doing research on my own family and historical events (like the New London disaster) that touched my heart.

I firmly believe that no one, no matter how "minor" he or she may have been, should EVER be forgotten.

Some of my close relatives:
My Father:
Brad Shepherd
My Grandparents:
Nelva Jean Shepherd
Aaron Beene
Frances Beene
My great-grandparents:
W. O. Beene
Ida Beene
Jasper Sheffield
Stella Sheffield
F. L. Shepherd
Helene Shepherd
Edgar Thurston
Opal Thurston

My young friend:
Teresa Walczak

If you have any additional information on any of the people whom I have added, or would like me to take down any of the people whom I do have so you can add that person yourself (no one knows family better than family!) please let me know. I will be happy to comply with your requests.

Thank you to everyone who has left flowers for my family and the others I have added. I appreciate your remembrance of them, and I'm sure they would appreciate it, too.
