I've recovered an old photograph of Howard Curtis SHEPARD
and Alyce Mae SHEPARD which was taken by the Central Post Card Co. in Waterloo,
IA on 11 Jun 1913.? Howard is identified
as 8 months old at the time the photograph was taken, and Alyce is 2 years and
4 months old at the time. The photograph was sent to Gordon SEWELL in Waverly,
IA.? Based on limited research I was able
to gather the following information regarding the children and their family:
?
Howard Curtis SHEPARD was b. 11 Oct 1912 in Janesville, IA
to Howard Simeon SHEPARD (1885-1945) and Anna Mae SEWELL (1885-1971).? Howard had four siblings, Delbert “Dell” Winfield
SHEPARD (1906-1969); Alice Mae SHEPARD RANDALL (1911-1990); and Bonnie Y.
SHEPARD (1915-1916); and Betty J. SHEPARD STRUBLE (1923-1993).? Howard married twice, first to Margaret
Violet Helen HANSEN (1917-1999) on 16 Feb 1936 in Waterloo, IA and they had a
daughter Martha or Marsha Jane SHEPARD FALZBOT (1936-1996) and one other
daughter.?
?
His second wife was Elizabeth “Betty” L. VIVONE (1912-1998).
?Howard died 25 Apr 1996 in Marshalltown,
IA and is buried in the Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines, IA.
?
Alice Mae SHEPARD was b. 13 Feb 1911 in Janesville, IA to
the same parents and married Glen Alexander MARSH (1911-1996) on 10 Dec 1931 in
Waterloo, IA and they had a son, Carlyle Curtis MARSH (1933-2000) and they later
divorced.? Then on 4 Apr 1964 she married
Ralph Alfred RANDALL (1895-1972) in Seattle, WA.? Alice died in Auburn, WA on 28 Feb 1990 and
is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn, WA.? Her obituary lists her surviving family
members including a son who is unnamed and living in Auburn, WA; a brother in
Des Moines, IA; and a sister in Clarksville, IN.
?
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the
photograph can be returned to their care.?
If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who may be,
please contact me.
?
Thanks,
Shelley
