Mothers' Allow- ance is Investigating the Circumstances Jan, 27---The Moth- Board. of Durham jcounty, and of the Children's Aid Society, are investigating the case of Mrs. John Sheppard and her four children, who are said to have been left destitute by the death of the husband and father, aged 60. About twelve and one half years ago, Sheppard came to Canada from England and settled on a soldiers' settlement farm near Englehart, where he lived happily and prosper- ed until the forest fires in 1922 swept away his home and farm buildings. With his wife and children, Shep- pard went to North Bay, where the family, with other homeless fami- lies, lived some months in a church shed. He worked for some time for $1 a day, and then sold his farm for $1,000, with which he bought a Ford truck and camping equipment. For several months he made a liv- ing selling wicker and wood chairs along the highways of Ontario, as he made his way south. Last sum- mer, however, he was stricken with an attack of seiatic rheumatism, which ended his traveling. At the time of the attack, the Sheppards were traveling along the Millbrook highway and finding an abandoned house on the farm of Mr. Ed. Gar- diner, near Campbelleroft, they took possession of it.
