I also found some of the same information in a rather round about way. Minnie's obituary didn't reveal much, but I found an obit for her younger brother, Joel T. "Joe" Shepherd. He died on February 24, 1912 of "Cerebro Spinal Meningitis" at the age of 15. Information listed: Parents: Daniel W. Shepherd and Lucy J. Shepherd Siblings: Three brothers and fours sisters George Walter Ray Mrs. Fred "Grisham" Henrietta Cecil Ida "The deceased boy was born in Wilson County, Tennessee but came to Collin County with his parents four years ago." The 1910 Census shows the order of birth as: Cecil, 17; Ida, 15; Joel, 13; Henrietta, 10; Walter 7; and George, 5 Minnie, having been born in Aug. of 1890, would have been 21 at the time of Joel's death. Ray would have to be the oldest or the youngest. Having trouble finding them in 1920. Collin County Marriage Records (on microfilm) show that Minnie Shepherd and F. P. Gresham were married in Collin County on March 17, 1910. I also found marriage records for G. H. Gresham and Grace Matlock and Otis Quinn Gresham and Alma Corene King. AND Obituaries for George H. Gresham, Grace Matlock Gresham, Otis Quinn Gresham and Alma Corine (King) Gresham. I can send copies if you would like.
