Daniel Jenkins, son of Isaac Jenkins, was born in Boston, December 25, 1840, died. Au- gust 3, 1887. When a young man he ob- tained a position in the war department at Washington, being connected with the quar- termaster-general's office during the Civil war. After withdrawing from the govern- ment service he engaged in the periodical business at Worcester, Massachusetts, as a member of the firm of Jenkins & Whitcomb. He married (first), December 25, 1861, Maria Augusta Jenkins, who was born in Boston, September 13, 1842, daughter of Henry and Ann Maria (Veazie) Jenkins. Henry Jenkins was a brother of Alvin Jenkins, M. D., of Eliot, Maine, and of Mrs. Caroline Fuller, wife of Henry Fuller. Ann M. (Veazie) Jen- kins was a daughter of Thomas Veazie, of Brentwood, New Hampshire, and her mater- nal grandmother, whose maiden name was Margaret Wiggin, came from Greenland,
New Hampshire, to Somerville, Massachu- setts, about 1834. Mrs. Maria A. (Jenkins) Jenkins died in Roxbury, July 8, 1877. She was the mother of two children: Nellie, born in Boston, July 23, 1863, died in Malden, Sep- tember 13, 1881. Henry Isaac, see forward. Mr. Jenkins married (second), September 3, 1878, Margaret Wiggin Veazie, who was his first wife's maternal aunt. She was born in Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, August 13, 1833. She is now the wife of a Mr. Town- send and resides in the state of Ohio.
Henry Isaac Jenkins, only son of Daniel Jenkins, was born in West Newton, Massa- chusetts, February 4, 1867. "He acquired his education in the public schools, and at an ear- ly age turned his attention to mercantile pur- suits. He is now employed as a salesman by the well-known leaf tobacco house of J. F. Davenport, No. 7, Custom House street, Bos- ton, and stands high in the confidence of the firm .. He is an enthusiastic sportsman, and at his beautiful home on Mountain avenue, Malden, has a large and unique collection of mounted specimens of his prowess in the for- est. His hunting expeditions have extended to the most remote parts of North America, and the most notable feature of his collection of trophies of the chase are the heads of a pair of mountain sheep, very rare specimens of their kind, which he was fortunate enough to secure in a portion of the wilds of Alaska, which had hitherto never been visited by a white man. In politics Mr. Jenkins is a Re- publican, but has never participated actively in public affairs. In his religious belief he is a Universalist. He affiliates with the Ma- sonic order as did his father, the latter having been a charter member of the Royal Arch Chapter in Malden, and also of the Knights of Pythias. He is a member of Converse Lodge, the chapter, commandery of Knights Templar, and Aleppo Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine; the local lodge of Odd Fel- lows; Spartan Lodge, Knights of Pythias; Winnepoykin Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men; Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; National Lancers of Boston; Malden Club.

was in Haverhill as early as 1667 and was killed by the Indians there in 1691.

(VI) Luther Eastman Shepard, son of Jesse Shepard (5), was born at Raymond, New Hampshire, December 28, 1820, and died in Lowell, Massachusetts, March 9, 1890. His early life was one of great suffering from sciatica from which he was not relieved until his tenth year, when he began to use his legs with the aid of crutches. He never, however, fully recovered and always had to use a cane. His opportunities for education were limited, but being naturally studious he read every- thing within his reach and saved his money for more schooling. In 1842 he attended Phillips Academy at Exeter, New Hampshire. When his funds were exhausted he went to work again. For two years he' was employed at East Abington, Massachusetts, and then for a time had to give up work on account of his ill health. A few months later he entered Pembroke Academy, and completed his prepa- ration for college. In 1848 he finally entered Dartmouth, being the oldest member with one exception in his class, which included many men who later achieved prominence in public life. Among them were: Edward Ashton Rol- lins, of Philadelphia, commissioner of internal revenue at Washington; Joshua Gilman Hall and Charles Wesley Willard, both congress- men; Jonathan Ross, judge of the supreme court of Vermont, and Senator Redfield Proc- tor, of Vermont. Mr. Shepard was an ear- nest student and during his four years in col- lege had many financial problems to solve, but he managed to keep his place in his class and graduated in 1851. He became a teacher in Grafton Academy for one year. In 1853 he took charge of Westford Academy at West- ford, Massachusetts, and for four years labor- ed hard and successfully for the welfare of that institution of learning. He next accepted a position in charge of a department of a Bos- ton book store, but the financial embarrass- ment of the firm which employed him caused him to resume teaching and for a year he was head master of the academy at Franklin, New Hampshire. While there he decided to
study law and in 1859 entered the law office of Isaac Morse and George Stevens at Lowell; continuing as law clerk in the office of H. G. Blaisdell, in whose employ he remained dur- ing Mr. Blaisdell's life. In December, 1862, he was admitted to the Middlesex bar and be- gan the practice of his profession in the offices of his former employer at the corner of Mar- ket and Central streets. In the course of time his practice grew to large proportions and be- came very lucrative. He invested shrewdly. in real estate and his holdings became very large and valuable. He made a specialty of real estate and was frequently employed in transactions calling for expert knowledge of real estate values and real estate law. In politics Mr. Shepard was a Republican from the time that party was first organized. He was elected a member of the Lowell school board in 1866-67. He was a member of the Kirk Street Congregational Church.
The career of Mr. Shepard affords a strik- ing example of the possibilities open to young men. Notwithstanding the affliction of con- genital disease and the handicap of poverty Mr. Shepard achieved a liberal education and raised himself to a foremost position in the social, intellectual and business world. Like most men who have won success under diffi- culty he was eager to help others, generous always to the extent of his means not only to the young seeking education and a foothold in the world, but to the sick, suffering and un- fortunate, with whom he had the greatest sympathy. He was kindly and approachable in his manner. Gifted with common sense and having gained from his wide experience a thorough knowledge of human nature, he ad- vanced rapidly in his chosen profession. He was interested in public affairs, ready at all times to work for the interests of the city of his home and always displaying a keen public spirit.
He married, May 18, 1870, Louise C. New- hall, daughter of Cyrus and Louisa (Miller) Newhall, of Hinsdale, New Hampshire. She survives him. Children: I. Mamie Louise, born December 21, 1871, died young. 2. Frederick Dana, born September 2, 1873. 3. Anna Newhall, born May 19, 1876, married Fred Hart.
