THANK YOU! We have several contacts in the area and I need to connect with the historical society and plan a visit.  We have collected several different items connected to the school.  My aunt and uncle have one large framed certificate from the school - it's about 3 ft x 5 ft - you don't see things like those any longer - which is why I jumped at this one. I hope I can connect with this gentleman or with others that may have them.  I would love to find any with any of the Shepards as either recipients or as the signator.

And to pacify those seeking 'documentation'....I'll happily supply copies of wills, birth certificates, Civil War pension records, property deeds, etc. -- a lot of which is visible on my family tree at ancestry.com.

Thank you for the recommendation to contact him via his email address. I found this forum via a google search on the Medical Institute as a part of family tree research! I do collect antiques so, it's been nice to find this site as well. Will keep you all posted!
