Lake Odessa Wave-Times December 21, 1923

GEO. KEPNER, FORMER LAKE ODESSA RESIDENT DIES

Set Out Boulevard Trees - Dug Own Grave

A quiet unusual man was George Kepner of Woodland but who for many years lived 
in Lake Odessa.

Mr.Kepner lived int he home now occupied by Mr and Mrs Jame Reed on north Sixth 
avenue.

He was a good citizen ever living up to what he believed was right. His wife 
died several years ago and since then he has lived with his daughter Mrs. Cora 
Shopbell in Woodland.

Mr.Kepner set out the trees on the boulevard of this village. He prepared his 
lot in the cemetery here 17 years ago buying a stone and preparing stone vaults 
for the remains of himself and his wife. These were refilled to await the coming 
of death when they were opened and their occupants laid to rest.

Aside from Mrs. Shopbell he leaves another daughter, Mrs Laura Dorman of 
Petoskey.

The funeral was held Wednesday at Woodland and burial at Lakeside.
