General Notes: Husband - Michael Kepple

---

He was born on the family homestead farm was indebted to the public school system of the county for the educational privileges he enjoyed. He was also early trained to farm life and when still quite young took charge of the farm, continuing its management for his father until 1862, when he and his brother, George, purchased the farm and in partnership continued its operation for fifteen years or more. Michael Kepple then purchased his brother’s interest and became sole owner of the property. He was a Democrat in politics, and was a member of the Lutheran church, while his wife belonged to the Reformed church. He served as church officer for a number of years.
