SHEPARD.--The ability and enterprise
of Jo. H. Shepard have materially aided the growth and
advancement of Sacramento and as yard superintendent of the Friend & Terry
Lumber Company his capabilities have been utilized in various directions with
gratifying results. Sacramento is his native city, where he was born May 28, 1891, a son of L. G. and
Elizabeth Maude (McDermit) Shepard, the former born
in Yreka, Cal., and the latter in Nevada. L. G. Shepard was identified with the Friend
& Terry Lumber Company for over thirty years. He passed away in April, 1922.
Jo. H. Shepard received his education in the grammar
and high schools of Sacramento, and his first position was as a yard man with the
Friend & Terry Lumber Company; he has steadily advanced through the many
departments until he now occupies the responsible position of yard
superintendent for this extensive firm, the largest of its kind in this section
of California.
The marriage of Mr. Shepard united him with Miss Edna Frances
Morrill, a native of Boston, Mass., and they are the parents of one daughter, Louise
Gertrude. Mr. Shepard is a Republican in
his political preference.
