Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: Sheppard Family
Contributed by Samuel Weldon
My gg grand father Edwin/Edward Sheppard/Shepard and family (four boys and one girl) came to Indian Territory in 1860. They settled around Tishomingo and two additional children were born, but died young. The four boys and one girl married and started families; one of the boys, Jeremiah (Jerry Miah), my great-grandfather, moved back to Arkansas in 1879 the others raised their families in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Some descendants still live in Oklahoma.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
