I agree that the second word is 'keeper', but there is an 'i' in the first word, so I don't think it can be 'shop'.

Hi All,

I don't think it isn't an "i" , the dot I think is a mark on background paper, there is another below the signature. I definitely going with Shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper. I to think the dots are just random, the "h" is spread, misleading with the random dot.

Could it be Horse Keeper?

No, I am wrong.  Shop Keeper looks a better bet although I do not understand the dot above what looks like an i -

or is it ship   something?  Suppose it all depends on the area the person lived in - hey ho
