Francis "Frank" M. Shepherd died 16 Aug. 1913. In his obituary, Amanda's surname is again stated as Shepard.

Mountaineer, 22 Aug 1913: "Frank M. Shepard - At 6:15 p.m. Monday evening, Frank M. Shepard, 68, a bachelor and Civil War soldier, succumbed to creeping paralysis from which he had suffered for several years. On Wednesday night of last week he was stricken and never regained consciousness. Mr. Shepard was born in Wetzel County.

A niece, Miss Manda SHEPARD, who has been his housekeeper for 20 years, also survives. Services were conducted at the home by Rev. Hopson of Sandyville. Interment in the family cemetery."

General Notes: OBITUARY - IRENE GORBY - Irene Bucher Gorby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis P. Bucher, was born near New Martinsville, West Virginia, May 1, 1884. Her education was limited to what she received from short terms of rural schools. The last one attended was Fluharty Run. - At the age of eighteen she began training as a nurse in the old Wetzel County Hospital, under the direction of the late Dr. J. D. Schmied. In reiterating her early experiences she frequently referred to the strenuous hours of work, when in cases of emergencies and epidemics, she would work for four or five days and nights, relaxing only an hour or two each day. She continued nursing until 1908, when she was married to J. H. Gorby, who had recently been appointed superintendent of the New Martinsville schools, and with the exception of one year resided in New Martinsville the remainder of her life. Mrs. Gorby found pleasure in attending different school activities with Mr. Gorby. - As a child, she learned to cook, bake and sew, and through extensive reading and careful practice became highly skilled in these household arts. She thoroughly enjoyed working with a new recipe, or an untried pattern in crochet, tatting or knitting . A hobby of hers was sewing draperies, slip covers, cushions and fine embroidery. Anything she made was as perfectly finished as possible, and she was very generous in using her talents and time for others. - Childless herself, Mrs. Gorby was a lover of children, and was loved by them. For their first foot wear, scores of babies wore booties made by her. She was unusually happy when she did an act of kindness or gave service for others. Not only did she spread her happiness to children, but older folk as well, whether it was taking some flowers, a plant or something she had made. She always had time to enjoy a morning chat with her different neighbors. Birthday anniversaries of her relatives and friends did not pass her notice. She shared in others' sorrow as well as happiness. - Mrs. Gorby was a very extensive reader in such fields as health, nature study, history and general literature. She had a very retaining memory and scanned carefully current magazines and the daily paper. She could discuss intelligently the proceedings of the United States Congress, and was following the World War in detail. It was her belief that the United States should assist England, both for the safety of our country and the moral problem involved, and never doubted for a moment that the Allies will not win.

General Notes: From her online obituary: "Her parents supported and encouraged her to realize her dream to become a prima ballerina with the Ballet West and the San Francisco Ballet Company which was sent by the U.S. State Department to tour throughout the world. She was able to speak multiple languages because she lived in many foreign countries. While in Europe she met her husband Peter Ruchti of Switzerland and they married in 1966. They made their home in Rome, Italy where Gerrie was most comfortable and where she continued to live for the next 27 years. It was in India where she first learned of Siddha Yoga and where she studied and practiced with her beloved 'Gurumai' whose pictures fill her residence. Gerrie has always loved and cared for animals from her poodle Seri1 in Italy to her many cats Moroni, Puchessa and Xena Warrior Princess. She championed the rights of the elderly and was always helping members with their condo association rights and beautifying the building and grounds of her condominium. Always one who spoke her mind directly and with confidence she was a true friend. She walked in beauty and from her tiny and delicate frame she could exude elegance and, in the next moment, tell you directly and truthfully what you just probably needed to know. Her frankness will be missed along with her search for truth, peace and love in this world."
