FREDERICK RUPE.

Frederick Rupe is now successfully engaged in the cultivation of sixty-seven
acres of land in Keokuk township, his farm being numbered among the profitable
agricultural establishments of his neighborhood. He was born in that township,
November 16, 1880, and is a son of Addison and Myrtie (McNair) Rupe, both
natives of Wapello county. Both are living in Wapello county. In their family
were nine children, of whom seven are living.

Frederick Rupe was reared under the parental roof and attended the schools of
the neighborhood, subsequently improving his knowledge by a college course. He
remained at home until twenty-one years of age and then taught school for two
years. At the end of that time he set himself up independently as a farmer and
now owns sixty-seven acres of fertile land in Keokuk township, to the operation
of which he gives his sole attention. He is a young man of modern ideas who
employs the latest methods in order to achieve the best results. His buildings
are in good repair and he has installed modern machinery in order to facilitate
the labor upon the place and to increase the yield.

On the 20th of March, 1907, .Mr. Rupe married Miss Hetty C. Streeby, a native of
Iowa and a daughter of H. D. and Lillie (Patrick) Streeby, both now living in
Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. Rupe were the parents of three children: Claud L.,
deceased; Ferol L., and one who died in infancy. The parents are members of the
Presbyterian church, generously supporting the local institution. Politically he
is a democrat, conversant with the principles and aims of his party, and at
present serves as township trustee, being in his second term. He has always
taken an interest in educational matters and has held a place on the district
school board. There is much that is commendable in the career of Mr. Rupe, for
he has achieved independence at a comparatively early age and entirely through
his own efforts. He has many friends in Keokuk township, all of whom appreciate
and esteem him for his high qualities of character.
