KIEPE, ONE OF OLD
EST CITIZENS, DIES MONDAY

Conrad Chas. Kiope, one of the old
est residents Of this county, died Mon
day, Dec. 8, 1913, at his home near
Mount Zion church in the Liberty
vile ffeighborhood. The cause of his
death. was old age and general debil-
ity, probably coupled with influenza.
DECEASED was born in Germany on
August 90, 1923, and was, therefore,
aged 95 years, 8 months and II days.
When q years of age Mr.. Kiepe came
to America and settled at Iron Noun
tain and worked in the mines there.
At that time only sixteen men were
employed there. After working at
Iron Mountain for about year, Mr..
Kiepc returned TO Germany, but
stayed there only about six months,
when he again returned to the United
States. After returning to the
United States he again worked for a
short time at Iron Mountain, and then
was employed at Valley Forge as
Waterman for seven and one-half
years.. When the Civil War broke
out Mr.. Kiepe and his family moved
TO Pilot Knob. Mr.. Kiepc was not
actively engaged in either of the
armies but at one time drove a Gov
eminent wagon to Helena. Ark, and
was gone three months. In 1868 Mr..
Kiepe and family moved from Pilot
Knob to their present farm, where he
has lived ever since. Deceased was
first married to Louisa Garges, also
of Germany, and to this union were
born five children, three of whom are
living. Late in the COS his good wife
died and some time later he was unit
ed in marriage to Margaret Strahl-
man. To this union were born three
children, two of whom survive. Mrs.
Kiepe preceded him in death, dying
about twelve years ago.
Deceased leaves to mourn his
death five living children, Theodore,
Paulina, Lizzie, Annie and Conrad.
Three children, deceased, are Rudolph,
Henry and Louise, Mrs. Carl Gaebe).
Deceased also leaves many grandchil-
dren, several great-grandchildren and
many good friends who mourn his
passing. Deceased has always been
a prominent and active citizen in his
community, was a man of sterling
character and worth, and his loss will
be greatly felt in this community and
surrounding neighborhoods.
Funeral services were conducted |
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
by Rev. H. A. Mitchell at Copenhagen
church, where interment was made.
The Times extends sympathy to the |
bereaved.
