George Thomas Kepler, youngest of a family of three living children of Peter 
and Mary M. (Rader) Kepler, and grandson of Peter Kepler, Sr., Elizabeth 
(Shafer) Kepler, George Rader and Elizabeth (Ater) Rader, and great-grandson 
of Mathias Kepler and ___ ___, John Shafer and ___ ___ , Adam Rader and ___ 
___, Henry Ater and ___ ___; this is as far back as his ancestry can be 
traced, and this with his present inability to fill the above blanks shows how 
quickly, and alas commonly, one loses all knowledge of his parentage. Mr. 
Kepler was born Feb. 16, 1844. He obtained a good education in the country 
schools, and Feb.16, 1868, was married to Mary C., daughter of Isaac N. and 
Matilda M. (Swope) Beard. They have two children---Lynn E., born March 14, 
1869, and Ida M., born Jan. 13, 1871. He received a farm of 100 acres from his 
father in 16-16-13. He was very successful in his farming operations, and now 
owns his home farm, well watered and improved, of 139 and one-half acres, 
situated in 13-16-12. He also owns the "postoffice corner," besides other 
property in and near Cambridge City, and has fully demonstrated the fact that 
when one has a good start he may, by industry and good management, rapidly 
accumulate property and make a good living, especially on as fertile soil as 
that of Wayne County, Ind.
