CARTER SHEPHERD DIES IN SAVANNAH
The Madisonian carried a statement last week that Carter Shepherd had been operated on Monday at the Oglethorpe Hospital in Savannah for appendicitis, and that he was recovering in a satisfactory manner. Thursday afternoon, however, complications set in and news came to the family in Madison that he could live only a short while. A eight o'clock the news came that he had passed away.
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Wallace were already on their way to Savannah, Messrs. Henry Fitzpatrick and Junius Atkinson carrying them to Macon in automobile, where they caught a Central train to Savannah, after a detour because of high water. They reached Savannah before noon the next day. The funeral party left Savannah Friday night at nine o'clock, reaching Madison with the remains at eleven o'clock Saturday. The body was taken to the home of Mrs. Annie Douglas, on South Main Street.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd were members of Christ Episcopal Church, Savannah, and Rev. A.G. Richards, of Athens, read the beautiful Episcopal service. It was one of the largest funerals ever seen in Madison. Services were held at the home of Mrs. Douglas Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A choir consisting of Mrs. Roy Wallace, Mrs. J.H. Purks, Mr. C.M. Furlow, Mr E.G. Atkinson, and Mr. Cornelius Vason, rendered favorite hymns, "Lead Kindly Light," "Asleep in Jesus" and "Abide With Me."
The pall bearers were Dr. Dickens, Messrs. William Baldwin, Tom Baldwin, P.C. Rhodes, Pierre Walker, H.H. Fitzpatrick, Jr., Cornelius Vason, Jr., Junius Atkinson. Seldom has so many beautiful flowers been seen in a funeral, wrought into such elaborate and exquisite designs. Interment was in the family lot of the city cemetery, with Hemperley Undertaking Co. in charge.
Carter Shepherd was the youngest child of the late Robert and Mary Moseley Shepherd, and was born in the ancestral home in Morgan county 35 years ago. He attended the neighborhood schools and later graduated from Madison High School. He enlisted in the world war and served overseas as an ensign.
Returning from the army he was married to Miss Adelaide Douglas. A year was spent in New York at the home office of the National City Co. He came from there to Atlanta and was later transferred to Savannah where he was manager of the local office.
