Jacob C. Shepley passed away at his home here Saturday last. Mr. Shepley had been poorly for over a year from the effects of successive strokes of paralysis and during the last few months failed rapidly. Friday he began to sink and passed into unconsciousness from whch he never awakened. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, services being conducted at the residence by Rev. D. E. Martin, and the remains were interred in Greenhill cemetery, the pall-bearers being Ernest Grant, Newell Woodwiss, Wm. Wigle, Clarence Bruner, Sol. Coatsworth and Isaac Whittle. The funeral was under the auspices of the A.O.U.W., of which order the deceased was a member. The Shepley family is among the most substantial in Essex County. Solomon Shepley, father of Jacob C., was born in Harwich township, in 1797, and during his young manhood lived for a time in Gosfield township, where he married Sarah Wigle. She died January 10th 1868; he, May 17th, same year, in Raleigh township, where they followed farming.

W., died in Colchester in 1878; James D.G., died in Colchester in 1909; Solomon, died in Essex in 1909; Charles W., died in Kingsville; Mrs. John Parks, in Malden, Friday, October 29th, 1909; Jacob C., born September 22nd 1843, twin brother of Charles. Mr. Shepley took an active and earnest part in municipal affairs for some years, being a councillor Gosfield South in 1888-89-90-91-92, and Agricultural Society, and South Essex Farmers Institute, being president of both those organizations. He toured the county on several occasions addressing meetings of the Institute. He was an ardent Liberal, and in the Federal election of 1908 was Returning Officer for South Essex. Mrs. Shepley's maiden name was Alvira Wilcox, daughter of the late Asa wilcox, of Malden. They had a family of seven, five of whom are living--Ivan, of the W.E. & L.S. railway, Windsor, Elva, at home; Althea, teacher Kingsville Public School; Ethel, at Normal school, London, and Nellie, Mrs. Dundas, Mersea, to whom the sympathy of their large circle of friends is extended.
