      Some of the information on the Certificate of Death is in error.
      Addie's Date of birth was Sept 1, 1901 not 1903
      Name of Father Dennis Shepard not Shipard
      Maiden name of Mother was Laura not Clara

      The date of death on the Certificate of Death is correct (Oct 16, 1926 at 5 P.M) The date o f burial (Oct 17th) is incorrect. The date of burial in her obituary is given as the 19th , a date that then makes sense.

      Addie's obituary written by her own mother gives her birth date as 1 Sep 1902 instead of 1901 . However the age given on her marriage licence places her birth date as 1901. Her life spa n was 25 years 1 month and 15 days.


      Notes about Addie (from talks with her younger brother Fred C Shepard):
      She was very good with Algebra, She was good at drawing horses, She liked to play the guita r and sing songs like "Tenderfoot", "Arkansas Traveler" and others.
      Fred also said her facial features looked like she might have some Indian heritage. Her young er sister, Alice Irene also showed some features that were similar. The other siblings did no t have the same features particularly Lettie who was light complexioned.
