An Afflicted Family.

The affliction which has of late been visited upon the family of our esteemed neighbor and townsman,(GEORGE) Hiram Shedd, deserves more than a passing notice. In the short pace of ten days, three families have been desolated. A father and mother well down the decline of life, bereft, as it were at one stroke, of four children and two grand-children, a young wife and two small children left widowed and fatherless, and a husband in life's early morning robbed of all that made life dear. And now six new made graves on a hitherto unoccupied lot in our beautiful cemetery at Delanti (Stockton) tell the sad tale of suffering and anguish which has fallen upon this hitherto happy and unbroken family. For the ages of the deceased and dates of deaths, the reader is referred to a brief article in a late number of the Advertiser. Perhaps a word of eulogy, even at this late date, may not be out of place or uninteresting to the many friends of the deceased. The death of Miss Helen, second daughter of Hiram and Laura Shedd, would have made a sad inroad to the heart and home had all the others been spared. Tender, loving and affectionate, and of a deeply pious temperament, she won the love of all. In the church of which she was a faithful member, will her presence be long and sadly missed. In the death of George Shedd and his two lovely children, Luna and Gracie, a thrice double bereavement is sustained. An only son and brother, a loving husband and father, and withal a genial friend and companion, his loss will be felt in the community where he resided. Mrs. Emma Phillips, the fourth daughter, was the wife of Mr. Wm. Phillips, living in the western part of the town. Of her it might be said, she came back to the home of her childhood to die. Her unselfish love would not permit her to absent herself from her loved ones in their distress, and, true to the instincts of her better nature, her willing hands ministered to their wants until palsied by the terrible disease which claimed her too as its victim, and smilingly she yielded to the mandate of Him who had taught her to say ?Thy will be done.? And Flora, too, the youngest lamb of the flock, what shall we say of her? Guileless, loving and obedient, the hopes of the parental heart must have centered largely on her. But she too is gone. Gone to a fairer home where no dark night of suffering and sorrow intervenes to dim the light and pleasures of the bright eternal day. The old adage that death loves a shining mark was never more truly exemplified than in these cases. Young, loved and respected by all, with an apparent career of usefulness spread out before them, it is hard for human wisdom to reconcile itself to these mysterious Providences, and nothing but the assurance that God rules in love and doeth all things well can shed a ray of light upon this afflicted household. Let these stricken parents, wife, husband, and two remaining sisters be assured they have the sympathy and respect of this entire community in their hour of darkness, and may He who only can, heal their wounded hearts and be to them more than earthly friends. The funeral services were largely attended last Sunday at the church of the United Brethren, in Pleasant Valley, conducted by Rev. Mr. McIntyre of the U.B. church.

Hello, Cousin! Be prepared to be "Wow-ed". Give me a few moments and I will email to you a "few" generations.
The information was WONDERFULLY extracted and compliled by the poster ahead of me on this thread. (Mary V.) Her Husband Keith comes from this line as well, and they have done some awesome stuff! I am at work, so I'm not all sure what I have here. I will take a peek at my files at lunchtime and continue to forward what I have. Specifically,..I don't recognize some of 7 children names you list, and you don't have my link...Cora Mae Suits-Darby.
How exciting to get your email though!
Stand by!

Not sure I can help going back but I am researching this line as Rosetta Shedd is my gg grandmother. Daniel Suits (I have it as Daniel Shull Suits) and Rosetta had 7 children if my records are correct.
Hiram b. circa 1868/69
Gina M. b. circa 1870
Ames C. b. circa 1872
Mina D. b. 4/3/1873 (Mina was my great grandmother)
Ernestine S. b. circa 1877
Homer A. b. circa 1879
Elmer Suits (circa 1878, Elmer also married into my family)

Mina D. Suits married William E. Crow in Agnew MI at the home of Williams father John M. Crow. (William is my great grandfather) They married 10/3/1894.

They had 5 children, the first being my grandfather Edwin L. Crow 5/4/1895.

Edwin married Francis Raak in Grand Haven, Mi and they had two boys, Edwin Jr. and Richard Eugene Crow (my father). Richard married Carol R. Graham in Grand Haven and had 6 children. I am the 3rd. I am Lynwood "Lynn" Crow. I can give more details on my line if you would like but I am still researching Rosetta liniage going back. I would be happy to share any info I find.

FrancesMGreene — 2008-06-16 01:10:28Z

Do you have any idea of the names of the given names of the Shedds in Mississippi? Your line apparently originates in VA and then into SC and on into GA (Madison, Oglethorpe, Bibb CO, etc.)

I know that Kizzie was my dad's aunt and I know of some of the Shedds in A.P. TX but I don't know any of them personally.

Thanks so much for the info. I do live in the Nashville area andI have actually talked to Brenda and Lucy both some time ago. Haven't worked on this in a while so I have to refresh my memory a bit. I didn't know about Lucy's son Gus who got killed. Do you know about when that happened?

Hello Karen:

It has been quite a while since I read your post, and was looking over the Shed board again. I looked and I do have info on the Doughty and Shedds you asked about.

Specifically what would you like. While I do not have much data on your grandmother, I do have data on the Shedds, quite a ways back with some photo's. I know someone else who has many photos as well.

Please contact me at gregory107@centurytel.net for more info if you like.

khollingshead_1 — 2006-04-28 18:51:59Z

Posting in "The New England Farmer " Sep. 21 1867.
" C.W. Shedd was attacked by highway robbers on Monday evening, the 9th, while between Mt. Holly and Ludlow, Vermont, and made a narrow escape with his life and with a considerable sum of money he had upon his person. He was stabbed in the side, but the knife struck and penetrated the back, doing him little injury."

Re: Shedd/Holliday Jackson/Barrow/Clarke CO, GA

FrancesMGreene — 2008-06-15 19:42:11Z

I believe that the Shedd book is now out of print, but I'd be glad to do look-ups from mine for you. I looked and do not see either one of your grandparents listed in the book. Maybe looking them up in the census records might reveal who his parents were and then they might be listed in the book. Did your grandfather perhaps have siblings named Melvin, Elsie and Miles.
I see the following family in the 1930 census. Looks like it could be them.
Name: Claude W Shedd
Home in 1930: Beaverdam, Oglethorpe, Georgia
Age: 12
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1918
Relation to Head of House: Son
Father's Name: Clarence
Mother's Name: Nanie
Parents' birthplace: View Image
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Clarence Shedd 29
Nanie Shedd 30
Claude W Shedd 12
Elsie M Shedd 10
Melvin Shedd 6
Miles Shedd 3

My g grandfather and my grandmother were born in Athens, Clarke CO, GA so I'll bet there is a connection.

Is there an email address where I can send it? Do you have a picture of Lurline? I have a picture of Dora, Lurline, Rose Mae and Pauline, but not sure which one is Dora and which is Lurline. They were in my dad's belongings when he passed away. Julia, his mother, had written the names on the back of them, but no left to right order to the names. I would love to see any Shedd information, I got a lot of mine from the Shedd book and some from grave markers, as well as census records, etc. Do you know if there is a picture of Sallie Holliday? We went to Winder a year or two ago and located her grave.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Shedd family in Beaverdam, Oglethorpe Co., Georgia 1930's

ichemstar — 2006-08-03 06:15:23Z

I am looking for the Shedd/Shed families living in the Beaverdam area during the early 1900's.
In the 1920 Census for Beaverdam, Oglethorpe, Georgia
Dudley G. Shedd is listed. I believe the G. stands for Gilbert
Dudley is living with his wife Blanche and his mother Harriett E. Shedd. Both Dudley and his mother were born in S.C. I believe in the Oconee Section of S.C. if I have the correct family.

If this is the correct family, Gilbert would have the following brothers and sisters: Ella, Ida, Della, Clarence, Henry, Merret, and Hubert. His mother would have been Harriet Elizabeth Thrift Shedd and his father would have been Hiram Thompson Shedd all of Oconee Co., SC

I would love to hear from family members or anyone knowing this family. Thank you. Gail
