© Carnegie Herald Carnegie, Oklahoma Wednesday, Sept 25, 1918 William Warren Shepherd W.Warren Shepherd First Carnegie Boy to Fall on Western Front Telegram Announces Sharpshooter Was Killed in Action July 30. William Warren Shepherd, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Shepherd of northwest of Carnegie is the first Carnegie boy to make the supreme sacrifice on the Western Front, according to a telegram received by his parents Friday stating that he was killed in Action July 30. Warren left Carnegie a year ago last November, going to Indiana to look after a farm which his father owns there. He joined the colors September 25 last years, and served his country as a sharpshooter. Warren was a crack shot with a rifle, and it is not presuming too much to say that he doubtless has the "bag limit" of Boches to his credit. In view of the fierce fighting in July when the Americans were thrust into the breech, turning the tide of the World War and dealing the Hun the most stunning blow that any army has ever met in the world's history, it is only placing credit where credit is due to honor Warren Shepherd for a big share in assuring an early victory for Democracy. The soldier who misses death by "the skin of his teeth' tells a thrilling story and always commands a column on the front pages of the big dailies, but the story of the soldier who is in the thickest of the fight, he who is in the most hazardous positions, he who takes the lead and who says with the artist Whitehead as he stands over the dead body of a Hun: "COME ON!". his story is never told in glowing headlines nor in letters written home. Sharpshooting, while one of the most dangerous, is one of the most efficacious departments in the army. Warren had the kind of American blood in his veins that made him want to fill the biggest job of which he was capable. He was not the boy who hunts trouble, but when the occasion demanded, whether it was licking a bully at school or turning the tide against the Hun, he was always ready to say "Come on!" Warren was 28 years old. He is survived by his father and mother, one brother, Ross, and a sister, Mrs. Ella Phelps. |

Shepherd and claimed their darling daughter, Edith, after a long illness and bore her spirit to the realm of the blessed. Edith was a patient sufferer and when she knew that the end was near she told her loved ones that she was going home where she could rest, that Jesus was coming after her. She will not only be missed by her loved ones but by the entire community as she was always ready to lend a helping hand and had a cheery word and a sweet smile for everyone, and we feel sure she is safe in the arms of Jesus where we shall meet her safe on the other shore. She has only gone on a little while before and heaven seems nearer and dearer since we know Edith has gone to live with Jesus. Stella Edith Shepherd was born at Jasonville, Ind. Aug. 10, 1900 and passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.t. Shepherd near Carnegie, Okla.
