"Mr. Shepard was foremost among the printers and publishers of this city. He combined with a thorough knowledge of his business, a fund of tact, energy, and good judgment which could hardly fail to command success. He was a clear thinker, conservative in his views, and had a happy knack of expressing his thoughts in words. He won an enviable reputation among the members of his craft, not only for ability, but for sterling honesty and high—mindedness, and his death will be deeply regretted by his many personal friends and by the numerous members of the United Typothetae who have recognized in him a leading spirit in their association. In 1891, he was elected president of the American Typothetae for the ensuing year, and in August, 1892, when the annual convention of the order was held in this city, he gave evidence of his executive capacity and fluency of utterance in the management of the meetings and the able address which he delivered. He had been connected with the Mail Job Printing department since 1881, and during the intervening period had continued to exercise the same discretion and business ability which had previously marked his career."
