Obituary	Mrs. Maud Shepherd The death of Mrs. Maud Shepherd, 48, occurred Saturday afternoon at her home on Pleasant street, after a long period of ill health. Mrs. Shepherd was born in Candia, N. H., the daughter of Mrs. Sadie Moore Lovejoy and the late Charles Moore. She was educated in the schools of Portsmouth, N. H., attending both the high school and teachers' training school. She was principal of a school in Derry, N. H., for five years and in Cliftondale, Mass., for seven years. In 1917 she was married to Alvah Shepherd of Dexter and came to this town to live. She was a substitute teacher for several years and at the death of her husband ten years ago, took a regular teaching position which she held most efficiently until ill health forced her to resign. She was a member of the Congregational church in Portsmouth, N. H., and soon after coming to Dexter entered wholeheartedly into the life of the community. She served as president of the Woman's Literary club, assisted in the organization of the Onawa Literary Union, was a Past Grand Matron of Wassookeag chapter, 0. E. S., served as secretary of the Grange and of the local Red Cross Chapter. She was also helpful in organizing the public health service in Dexter and was a member of Martha Washington Rebekah lodge. The only near relative surviving is the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Sadie Lovejoy, who has made her home with her daughter in Dexter since the passing of Mr. Shepherd. Funeral services were held from the home Tuesday afternoon with Rev. Horace H. Hayes of the Baptist church in Milo, assisted by Rev. Kenneth P. Hutchinson of the First Universalist church of this town officiating. The ritualistic services of the Eastern Star were carried out by the officers of the local chapter. The Pleasant street school, where Mrs. Shepherd taught for a number of years, was closed in her honor and delegates from other schools attended the services. The bearers were Dr. L. E. Kelley, Clyde Mower, Charles G. Chandler and George Crocker. Out-of-town people attending the services were Mrs. Margaret Griffin of Auburn, N. H.; Mr. and Mrs. George Crocker, Mrs. Nellie Libby and Mrs. Charles Moore of St. Albans.
