St. Louis Railroad Man Wins
Heart of Millionaire Bach
elor Maid.
LAKEWOOD. N. J„ Dec. 16. —Miss
Helen Miller Gould, daughter of Jay
Gould and sister of George J. Gould and
noted for her philanthropic work, will
be married to Finley J. Shepard, a
prominent railroad man, connected with
the Gould lines in St. Louis. Announce
ment of the engagement was made by
Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould at their
residence here.
Miss Helen Millet Gould and Mr.
Shepard will be married in January.
The marriage will not lessen the phil
anthropic acts of Miss Gould, her
friends stated today, and she will keep
up her connection with the various In
terests to which she has given so much
of her time and money.
The couple will take a honeymoon
trip to southern Europe and upon their
return will take up their residence in
the mansion owned by Miss Gould at
579 Fifth avenue.
Miss Gould remained In seclusion at
her home today while numberless mes
sages of congratulation were received.
The announcement of the engagement
came as a complete surprise to her
friends, who had believed after Miss
Gould passed the age of 40 that she

Wilson in Washington March 4.

never would marry. She is now 44 and
her fiance a year older.
Mr. Shepard, who Is now assistant to
T. L. Brush, president of the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain and Denver and
Rio Grande railroads, is expected to
become ultimately a dominant power in
the Gould lines.
Upon the death of her father. Jay
Gould, in 1592, Helen Gould, then 24
years old, inherited a fortune of about
$10,000,000. It has been estimated that
by investment she has trebled this for
tune, and at the same time devoted
fully half of her time to benefactions
which brought her into world promi
nence.
Mr Shepard met Miss Gould so>n
after entering the operating department
of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
lines in June, 1911. He accompanied
Miss Gould and her party last March
over the Denver and Rio Grande lines
when she made a tour of inspection of
the railroad Y. M. C. A. buildings. A
close friendship sprang up from the
trip.
Mr. Shepard first saw the heiress
when she was in St. Louis last spring.
“Up to that time,” he said, “I had no
more Idea than you have what she
looked like. I hope you, too, have had
the pleasure of meeting such a grand
and good character. Previously I had
admired her in an impersonal way for
her wonderful humatjjty and the beauty
of her nature. Then I was charmed by
her remarkable personality. Her ac
ceptance of me has flattered me highly
and made me happy. I am thoroughly
delighted now that our engagement has
been announced.”
