Montgomery Advertiser – October 12, 1916 Transcribed and Contributed by: Frances Cooley Sheppard – Crawford Vermillion Republican: A campus romance at the University of South Dakota reached its climax last week with the appointment of the approaching wedding on July 7 of Miss Pauline Sheppard, daughter of Mrs. Mary Sheppard of Vermillion and Captain Irving Crawford, a son of former United States Senator Crawford, of South Dakota and commanding officer of the recently organized cavalry troop at Huron, which probably will go to France with the American Army in a few months. The wedding will be at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Jason E. Payne. The Rev. Graemo Davis, pastor of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, will administer the vows. Miss Rinnie Vaugh will play the wedding march and Miss May Sheppard, the bride’s sister, will sing. Miss Sheppard has been a student at the university several years and is a popular member of the Kappa Phi Alpha Sorority. Her father, the late J. W. Sheppard was a pioneer news paper man in South Dakota. Irving Crawford received his diploma from the University of South Dakota this spring. He is a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and is known to all former students of recent years. Aberdeen Daily News – July 3, 1917 Transcribed and Contributed by: Frances Cooley
