Surnames: Shepley, Cahill
According to federal and state censuses, John Wesley Shepley (1889-1980) was living in Charles City, Iowa in 1930. The SSN Death Index claims his last place for benefits was in Charles City. He had previously lived in Chickasaw & Worth Counties. He was married to Pearl E. Cahill. She must have died between 1925 & 1930, because she is not present in the 1930 census. They had 3 sons, Lawrence F.; Cleo W.; & John D. I have been unsuccessful in locating John W. & Pearl's burial places. Information from an obituary may prove to be helpful. Thanks!
