TRAMPLED TO DEATH BY BULL (Essex Free Press)
This community received a distinct shock on Sunday last when it was announced that Asa E. Shepley, for over forty years a resident on the Malden Road in Colchester North, had passed away at 8:30 that evening... Mr. Shepley was one of the best-known and most estimable residents of the township. He was a son of the late Sol. R. Shepley and was born in the Iler Settlement in Colchester South 58 years ago on the 21st of April. The family moved to Colchester North forty years ago and deceased has resided in the Malden Road ever since, for the past thirty three years on the farm on which he died. He was married 34 years ago to Emma Rupert, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. James W. Rupert, now of Gosfield North, and to the union were born twelve children, all living, as follows:--Asa Jr., Bert, and James, of Colchester North; Milford, of Harrow; Bruce, Olive, Ray, Clifford, Velma, Pearl, Carl, and Roy, at home... The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon and the esteem in which he was held was attested by the large number who attended same. Service was held at the family home with interment later in Kingsville Cemetery. Rev. T.C. Wilkinson officiated and the pall-bearers were R.A. Brush, A.E. Boyle, C.C. Boultinghouse, Jos. Calhoun, Geo. R. Weller and V.W. Jones. The honorary pall-bearers Wallace Shepley, Garnet Shepley, Howard Switzer, Everett Moore, Clifford Moore, Gerald Rupert. The funeral was one of the largest held in these parts in years.
