ward Depping was born in Germany,
July 22d, 1885, and at an early age was
confirmed in the Reformed church of
Germany, of which he ever remained a
faithful and consistent member. In 1870
accompanied by his wife and two small
children they came to America and es-
tablished themselves on the farm in
western Ludlow which has since been
their home, and which has by careful
and patient industry been gradually add
ed to and enlarged until at the time of
his death he owned and enjoyed one of
the most commodious and comfortable
homes in Ludlow. He leaves to mourn
his loss his wife, six sons, three daugh-
tiers and two grandchildren. One son
and one daughter preceded the father to
the home beyond. Two brothers, one in
this country, Charles Depping, living
near Waukon, and one in Germany also
survive. The sorrowing family have the
sincerest sympathy of their many
friends.
