Sarah Belden Shepard was born November 24, 1826. The daughter of Edward Shepard and Mary (Ayrault) Shepard. She died at the age of 17 on August 5, 1843 (See F.A.G. Link). How did she die? We need help connecting her to the wikitree family and adding sources for her. I have taken photos of her gravestone to help in her genealogy research.
Note: The middle name “Belden” is found in this cemetery; possibly she was married or given the name from an ancestor of hers? Thank you

I found out how she passed it was Typhus Fever!
Not typhoid easy to confuse the two diseases
Her father also died on the 5th but in September
Her mother died on Valentine’s Day
