General Notes: Husband - David Keppel


He was born on the old family homestead in Parks town­ship, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he passed all his life. He built the residence on the place in 1861. The land lay along the Kiskiminetas river, opposite Vandergrift. Mr. Kepple served as justice of the peace and school director, and at the time of his death was an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He was a highly es­teemed citizen of his neighborhood. By hard work and well-directed energy he made his farm one of the best in Parks township, and his success was recognized by all as the result of a life of industry and integrity. His long­est absence from the farm was a period of sixteen days when he made a journey out to Iowa to visit his sister Mary. In politics he was a Democrat.
