    • AGED WOOLWICH PIONEER DIES LIVED IN THIS DISTRICT ALL HIS LIFE - DIES AT HOME OF DAUGHTER

      Another of the old pioneers of this district was laid to rest on Sunday afternoon in the person of Jacob S. Peppler, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E.S. Beisel, last Thursday evening after only about a week's illness. Deceased was born in Woolwich and lived all his life, nearly 86 years, in Woolwich and Elmira. In 1861 he was married to Catharine Kuhl and for many years they lived on the farm now owned by his son-in-law, Mr. George S. Miller, near West Montrose.

      Later they lived in Elmira for about 18 years. Then when the infirmities of advancing age began to make themselves felt, they went to live with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E.S. Beisel, just west of Elmira, where Mrs. Peppler died about six years ago.

      Of the five children, one died in infancy. The remaining ones are: Elizabeth (Mrs. Henry Heipel), Catharine (Mrs. George S Miller), Mary Ann (Mrs. David Lichty), and Ida (Mrs. Ervin Beisel), all of this neighborhood. Thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive. There are also living, of a large family, two brothers and three sisters, namely, Charles Peppler in the West, Henry Peppler, Hanover, Annie (Mrs. Menno Strohm) and Minnie (Mrs. Wm. Oswald), both of Kitchener, and Louisa (Mrs. Martin Brubacher) of Woolwich.

      The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon and was attended by a large number of old neighbors and friends. Besides many relatives from Kitchener, Waterloo, Heidelberg and Linwood, the following were present from a distance: Mr. Clarence Strohm, of Detroit; Mr. Henry Peppler and sons Milton and Norman also Mrs. Norman Peppler, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hahn and son Harold.
