She joined the Dayton Presbyterian Church early in childhood and later became a member of the Mulberry Reformed church, taking an active part in all of its activities. She was a member of the church missionary society, Aid society and was also affiliated with the W.C T.U. and the Pythian Sisters and Rebecca lodges of Mulberry.

Note: Her gravestone incorrectly lists her DOB which should be 10 April 1861. Multiple documents, the US Census, and her twin brother (John C. Shepherdson) all list DOB as 1861.
