The following article taken from a Decatur paper will be of interest 
to many people in this section of Illinois since both the bride and 
groom are from this vicinity. "Miss Gladys Howard second daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Howard of Winchester and J. Harvey Sheppard, 
son of Mrs. C.S. Sheppard of Whitehall were married Saturday 
afternoon at Covington, Ind by Rev. J.C. Johnson, pastor of the 
First M.E. Church of Covington. The wedding took place in the 
church, the wedding march being played by Mrs. Rayneer. The 
couple were unattended. Mrs. Sheppard was a graduate of the 
Blue Mound HS and attended the State Normal University at 
Normal. She taught in Christian County three years and one year 
in Macon County, 8 miles north of Decatur. The bride wore a 
wedding dress of "flash" color georgette and carried an arm 
bouquet of roses and sweet peas. Her traveling suit was of beige 
with accessories to match." Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard came to 
Whitehall Sunday for a visit with the groom's mother and will visit 
here and in Winchester and then go to Chicago where they will 
reside and where Mr. Sheppard is completing a course in electrical 
engineering and tower house operating.
