DAUGHTER OF FORMER PASTOR DIES FROM INJURIES

Word has reached here of the death of Miss Ada Shepherd, of Lakeville, Ind., daughter of the Rev.- and Mrs. M. H. Shepherd, residents of this city about twenty years ago when the Rev. Shepherd was pastor of the First Christian church. - The death of Miss Shepherd was caused by injuries received in an automobile accident on September 1 as she was returning from a Sunday school picnic with her cousin and a friend. The young man who was driving the car was racing with another car and in attempting to pass a farm wagon, which was loaded with poles, collided with the vehicle, Miss Shepherd being thrown from the machine. She sustained internal injuries and lived but a short time. Burial was made at Lakeville two days later. Rev. Shepherd and family returned to Indiana only a few months ago after spending a number of years in California. At the present time he and his wife are teaching school, Rev. Shepherd also having three preaching appointments.
