We traveled to Wayne County for the first time this week and completely enjoyed the trip, the Pioneer Motel is a pleasant surprise and a great place to stay. The motel rooms are clean and nicely furnished. I will definitely return for more research. Have any of you heard of Gravel as a cause of death? This is what was listed for Hester Booth Shepherd, who died on Nov. 22, 1896, in Wayne County,WV., who supposedly died from drowning. After returning home, I have noticed another Shepherd, or Shepard, death on the same page in the register of deaths for Wayne County, who is a mystery person to me. This is what's on the page: Shepard Anna E. died Mar 23, 1911, Female, age 53 years and 23 days, Cause of death nervous, occupation Housewife married and the person giving the information was Harvey Shepard. Did Harvey Shepherd marry again after the death of Hester? Are there any other Booth or Shepherd researchers that could help me? I bought the books from Evelyn Booth Massie, which are excellent but have no clue to this Anna. Pat Shepard
