My Family Tree

March 19, 1895, 36 year-old Mary married 24 year-old Noah Shepardson, the son of a Union Civil War surgeon.

They had three children:
1. Charles Noah Shepardson (b. 1896 – d. 1975)
2. Margaret M./C. Shepardson (b. 1897 – d. 1965)
3. Marcia L. Shepardson (b. 1899)

"Mary was Nathan Stoddard Chatfield and Margaret Prudentia Herrick's last child. Her February 14, 1859 birth in Middlefield, Ohio, occurred during the middle of James Buchanan's term of office, when the Compromise of 1850 could no longer quell the nation's mood, clouds of discontent looming on all horizon. In Arapahoe County, on March 19, 1895, 36 year-old Mary married 24 year-old Noah Shepardson, the son of a Union Civil War surgeon.

They had three children:
1. Charles Noah Shepardson (1896 – 1975)
Their first child, Charles became the Dean of Texas A & M University School of Agriculture. President Eisenhower subsequently appointed him to the Federal Reserve Board to represent agricultural farming interests.
2. Margaret C. Shepardson (1897 – 1965)
3. Marcia L. Shepardson (b. 1899)

Six months after the tragic accidental March 1901 death of Noah, Mary and her children moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, and settled near her brother, Isaac Newton Chatfield and his family.
