James M. Murray m. Elizabeth Morrison Shepherd?
Irwin James Shepherd was born in Lebanon, Kent County, Delaware, on February 23, 1874. He was the son of James Henry and Mary Jane (Jester) Shepherd.
After the death of his father and the remarriage of his mother, he lived in Delaware City, Delaware, with an uncle who was a druggist. Young Shepherd became a licensed pharmacist before he entered medical school.
He attended the public schools of Delaware, graduated from Delaware College A.B. in 1894 and the University of Pennsylvania M.D. 1899. He interned at the U.S. Marine Hospital Station, Stapleton, Staten Island, New York, from 1899 to 1900.
On June 3, 1903, he married Logan Locker (supposed to be Hocker not Locker) Warner at LaFollette, Tennessee. The couple had three daughters: Logan (Mrs. Herbert M. Richards, deceased), Carolyn Warner (Mrs. Harold S. Burr) and Elizabeth Morrison (Mrs. James M. Murray).
Dr. Shepherd arrived in Honolulu October 4, 1910. He engaged in private practice, being associated with Dr. William C. Hobdy from 1910 to 1920 when Dr. Hobdy left the Territory. Within two months after his arrival in Hawaii, he was on Maui directing and setting up treatment centers for the epidemics of smallpox and scarlet fever which broke out in December of that year. Dr. Shepherd was General Health and Sanitary Officer for the Territorial Board of Health, Bacteriologist, Pathologist, Medical and Sanitary Officer for the Territory in 1911. During 1911 and 1912 he was acting Assistant Surgeon, U.S. Public Health and Marine Hospital Service.
Dr. Shepherd died in Honolulu on October 21, 1937, at the age of 63.
