General Notes: Husband - Clarence R. Kepler

---

After attending the public schools and high school, he completed a course in business college. He began his career in the employ of the Spirella Corset Company, with which he remained for nine years, and at the death of his father in 1917, became manager of the Kepler Hotel. With his mother, he planned and completed the addition of a third story to the hotel annex in 1923 and the complete renovation of the older section. The completion of these improvements, celebrated on May 31, 1923, gave Meadville a fine modern hotel with all conveniences. After his mother's death, he continued as manager of the Kepler Hotel and as co-owner with Mrs. Lotta Kepler, who acts as hotel hostess; Nellie Truran, his mother's sister, who is dining room manager; and Mrs. Thomas Lomangino, his sister, dining room hostess. The old traditions of hospitality long associated with the family name were faithfully observed in the management of the hotel.
