James & Jimmie Marie Jordan Shephard shared their lives in silence.
The couple was deaf.
James was from Hazlehurst, MS. He was born about 1895 and died Sept 1970 in Detriot, Michigan. He was an uncle to my aunt Annie Bell Shephard Ealy.

I work in the area of special education--and have often wondered what it was like to be deaf (or have other disabilities) in the era before the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
James received his education from the Mississippi School for the Deaf. I have another deaf relative who did not attend school.
