KEPLER, aged 68, pioneer automobile dealer of this city, died at 2:30 o’clock Tuesday morning in the Woodlawn hospital from heart trouble and other complications. He had been in ill health for one year and bedfast four weeks. He was taken to the hospital from his home, 1024 South Madison street, last Sunday. The deceased was born in the Pleasant Hill community in Miami county, March 6, 1872. His parents were Martin V. and Martha J. (HOOVER) KEPLER. In a ceremony which was performed in this city, May 6, 1896, he was married to Julia Ann YODER who preceded her husband in death. Mr. Kepler was a member of the Presbyterian church at Deedsville. Mr. Kepler had been a resident of Rochester for 40 years moving here from his birthplace where he had lived on a farm. While in Rochester Mr. Kepler engaged in various business enterprises among them was a grocery and meat market in East Ninth street, and a realty agency. Mr. Kepler was one of the first to see the possibilities of Lake Manitou as a summer resort and with his father the late Martin Kepler plotted what is now the Lily Park and Poet’s Point additions on the north shore of the lake. Mr. Kepler operated the first motor bus to Lake Manitou in 1907 which was a Winton chain driven vehicle. This Winton was popularly known as a “rubberneck wagon” as it was about eight feet high and had no top. Mr. Kepler first entered the automobile business with his brother, the late Charles KEPLER, who succumbed in 1936 and who had the Chevrolet agency in Rochester.
