Mrs. Eugenia Adelaide Shepard, wife of M. S. McKee, died on Friday evening Jan. 2, 1903, at her home in this village (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.).

On Tuesday of last week a second stroke left her unconscious, in which condition she remained until final dissolution about 9 o'clock Friday evening. She was highly respected by all who knew her, and everything possible was done by an affectionate family and devoted daughter for her comfort. She was born at Belvidere, Ill on Dec. 10, 1854, and united in marriage with M. S. McKee at Cameron, Mo. June 13, 1872. The family removed to this village about ten years ago. The funeral occurred from the Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon last. Rev. Colby officiating. Deceased leaves a husband and four children, C. E. McKee of Tony, Oiver, Pearl and Fred of this place, also one sister, Mrs. M. J. Robinson of Los Angles, Cal.
