Abstract Railroad chef Cornelius Orville "Boots" Shepard was born on July 11, 1915 in Sedalia, Missouri. Shepard traced his ancestors back to slavery, and many of his relatives attended George R.

Shepard attended Franklin Elementary School and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1935. He moved to Lincoln, Nebraska working as a cook on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) in 1937.
