Bev and I want to visit our family cemeteries in Pennsylvania. The first person to search for is Samuel, our great-grandfather. The first thing to do is look at what we already know. Bev has compiled information online at ancestry.com so I will begin there. This will be much easier than searching through my file cabinets and trunks!
This is what we know.
Samuel U. Kepple was living in Greensburg, PA in 1946, with Minnie E. at 305 Eicher. Greensburg, PA city directory 1942.
In 1944, Charles Wilbur Dick's obituary listed "Also surviving is his grandfather Samuel Kepple of New Alexandria". The Daily Courier (Connellsville, Pennsylvania) Feb 14, 1944.
John Thomas Dick’s obituary listed his widow as Bertha Kepple Dick and stated that “he was predeceased by a son Wilbur in 1944”. “Interment will be in Oak Grove Cemetery.” The Daily Courier (Connellsville, Pennsylvania) June 15, 1963.
Whoohoo! Obituary of Samuel U. Kepple – Greensburg, Aug. 2 – 82 years old, lifelong resident, 305 Eicher Avenue. Leaves his widow, seven children, one brother and one sister. The Daily Courier (Connellsville, Pennsylvania) Aug 2, 1946.
No cemetary listed, so the search will continue online with cemetery records online.
