Sheppard was born at Otter |Lake, P.Q., on Feb. 24th, 1902 He was employed at Smooth Rock Falls | for a number of years previous to his coming here to work at the Dome. He was a member of the L.O.L. and the 1.0.0.F., and it was the wish of his widowed mother that the Oddfellows conduct the funeral. Hence at 2 p.m. a large number of his brother Oddâ€" fellows assembled and conducted the cortege to the 1.0.0.F. Hall where the Ven. Archdeacon Woodall, conducted a service that will linger in the memories of those who could gain even standing room. When those old wellâ€"loved hymns were sung, "‘Nearer my God to Thee,‘‘ ‘‘Peace, Perfect Peace,‘‘ and ‘‘Abide With Me,‘‘ the tears were very close to the eyes of every one present, and while some showed their grief in a concrete way, still others were able to control their feelings, but on every face deep and personal sorrow.was to be seen. W hile leaving the Hall, Mr. H. Martin played the Dead March in Saul, and procession, headed by a truck literâ€"â€" {lally covered in wreaths and other | floral tributes, was formed; then the motor hearse, then over 90 Oddfellows in marching order were followed to the cemetery by over 80 wellâ€"filled automobiles. At the graveside the Archdeacon read the services for the dead; then the Oddfellows‘ funeral service was also given by Mr. F, Reynolds, acting Noble Grand, and Rev. McVitty, â€" acting Chaplain. When the words were spoken the brothers of the order each dropped a sprig of evergreen on the coffin, with the heartfelt utterance, **Farewell, my Brother."" The total attendance has been conâ€" servatively estimated at 500, and there were fortyâ€"eight floral offerings of great beauty, testifyving to the love and respect and sympathy of the donors.

SHEPPARD VERY LARGFLY ATTENDED Death of Young Man at Dome Rouses Sincerest Sorrow and Symâ€" pathy. Dome Mines, April 28th. Special to The Advance. On Tuesday, April 21st, a stranger in and around South Poreupine would have noticed®a feeling of gloom,â€"a sense that some great disaster had occurred,â€"and on inquiring, would have been informed that Robt. Shepâ€" pard was to be interred that day. The stranger would immediately have come to the conclusion that he was to witness the funeral of some great officer of the district, some great man noted for his work in some business or charity. Instead of that, it was Our Bob Sheppard, a young man of 23, who had gained the respect of all by his cheery disposition, a willingâ€" ness to help without reward, and who had been cut down in the flower of his manhood in the exereise of his duties as an electrician at the Dome Mines. ‘‘Bobby,"" as he was affectionâ€" atel) named by all with whom he came in contact, had left home on Saturâ€" day morning with happiness in his heart. At half past twelve, midâ€"day, he was gone from this life. His workâ€" mates who discovered him, tried to bring life back to him. The best of medical attention was commanded to save him, but Bobby was dead,â€" killed by an invisible force, electriâ€" city. The blow to everybody who knew him was intense and expressions of sorrow were heard from every side, and on Tuesday a great gathering of friends met at the home of the deâ€" ceased to show by their presence a respect for the dead. n t a1d Beulah Rayner places ih town we: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO scores of others who wished to attend the funeral but were prevented througch unavoidable cireumstances. closed until 4 o‘clock, and there were Annual Firemen‘s Dance at Schumacher a Big Success.
