South Bend Tribune 5 Dec 1912
Three Men Drop Dead In 24 Hours
Heart Disease Extracts Unusual Toll in Single Day 
Andrew A. Ebersole, David Hepler and Niels Rasmussen, All of South Bend, 
Succumb Suddenly
Three South Bend men have droped dead from heart trouble within the last 24 
hours, a circumstance probably never before duplicated in this city.  The 
victims are:
ANDREW A. EBERSOLE, aged 65, of 1130 East Calvert street, a laborer
DAVID HEPLER, aged 59, of 124 North Spruce street, foreman at Oliver Chilled 
Plow works.
NIELS RASMUSSEN, aged 70, of 525 North Studebaker street, a retired farmer.
    The latest victim of the disease was Mr. Hepler, who succumbed suddenly at 
his home shortly after 10 o'clock this morning after a two days illness.  Mr. 
Ebersole dropped dead while at work in the milling room of the Mishawaka 
Woolen Manufacutring company, an hour before, while the other man died 
suddenly in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Catherine Nelson, late yesterday 
afternoon.
     Mr. Hepler had suffered but two days with heart trouble.  He was a 
foreman in the plant of the Oliver Chilled Plow works and had lived in South 
Bend for 35 years.  He was born in Pensylvania Aug. 18, 1853, coming here from 
Shamakin.  Those who survive include his wife, Julia Kuss Hepler; five sons, 
Harvey, Clarence, Frank, Howard and George Hepler, and two daughters, Valley 
and Minnie Hepler..... 

Additional Comments:
Obit lists name as David Hepler but according to marriage record and census 
records, his name is Daniel Hepler.
