Notes:

Steuben County history names Eleanor as Eleanor Dow, born Tompkins Co.,NY. Newspaper marriage notice of Eleanor Dow and Joel Russell at Tompkins Co. Clerks office shows Eleanor "of Hector". The only Dow from that area for decades was one Hon. John Dow. John Dow stated in a autobiography that he married twice and had two children, both from his first wife. The children were Polly who married John Dunham and Lucy who married Greeley Davis. The mother of these two daughters would have been to old to be the mother of Eleanor. County histories state Roswell Shephard of Reading Center, married one of John Dow's daughters and resided in Reading Center. The daughter couldn't have been John's natural daughter, but an adopted daughter from his second wife Temperance Leek, who is shown as living in Hector in the 1820 census. In the 1865 census she is living with her son-in-law Roswell Shephard and daughter Anna Maria. The census indicates she had a total of 5(five) children. In Anna Maria Shephard's death cert., her parents are listed as Daniel Leek and Temperance Corwith. Back to Eleanor, as her name is given as Eleanor Dow, much like her sister, Anna Maria Dow, Eleanor Dow is in fact Eleanor Leek, daughter of Daniel and Temperance Leek. One additional note, in the 1855 Census, Eleanor is shown as being born in New Jersey, versus Tompkins Co.,NY as stated by the history. I would have to believe the Census record more because she was most likely present when the census taker came around. The history was written almost thirty years after her death and was given to the author by Joel Russell, who would believe she was born in Tompkins Co., because that is where she was from when he met her.

Mrs. Roswell Shepherd, whose death occurred at the home of Cyrus Roberts, Esq., in Watkins, N, Y., Sunday, Dec. 28th, 1890, following a stroke of paralysis on Dec. 23d, was one of the best known and most highly regarded residents in this locality. Her maiden name was Maria Leek. She was the daughter of Daniel Leek, and was born at Peach Orchard Point, March 15th, 1814. When she was thirteen years of age, her widowed mother became the wife of Judge John Dow, the first settler on the site of Watkins, and also of the town of Reading. Her home from that time until her marriage was near Reading Centre. October 19th, 1833, she became the wife of Roswell Shepherd, residing subsequently in Altay, and in 1853 taking up their home in Reading Centre, where on July 20th, 1888, Mr. Shepherd passed away. Since that time Mrs. Shepherd has resided for a considerable portion of the time with her daughter, Mrs. Roberts. Of her four children, but one, Louisa, had preceded her to the beyond. Those living are Lev Shepherd of Reading Centre; Frances, wife of Cyrus Roberts of Watkins, and Charlotte, wife of Amasa H. Nichols of Brooklyn. Seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren complete the list of her descendants. The deceased was a woman of most exemplary character. Her life was characterized by kindly deeds. Her memory will long be cherished by those so fortunate as to claim her acquaintance, and come within the influence of her loving nature. She was a woman of exceptionally strong mind who by much reading kept abreast with the literature of the times. To her children and grandchildren a loving minister, patient and tireless, a real " Mother" in every sense of the word, and with a face sweet and strong, made placid by the experience of a lifetime.

"Homeward serenely she walked with God's benediction upon her; When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music."

The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Reading Centre, on December 30th, Revs. Mr. Bogart and P.J. Bull officiating. Preliminary services by Rev. B. K. Douglas were conducted at the house of Mr. Roberta. The burial was in the family lot at Reading Centre.
