Ionia Standard, 13 Oct 1916

Alden Lepper Dead.

Passes Without Warning, on Country Club Grounds, Tuesday Afternoon.

Alden Lepper, a life-long resident of the city and county dropped dead at 4:20
Tuesday afternoon, on the Country Club grounds where he was working with George
Pettingill.  The two men were doing spading together, near the south porch, when
Mr. Lepper suddenly lurched and then fell under the porch.  Mr. Pettingill
pulled him out and spoke to him but got no response.  Dr. H. B. Knapp was
summoned from the grounds, and said that he was dead before he fell.  He had
said on Saturday that he was not feeling well, but his indisposition was not
considered serious.

Mr. Lepper was 66 years old and was born in Ionia.  Most of his later life was
spent working for the Electric company and afterward for the late H. R. Wagar
personally.  His wife, who survives him, was Miss Hunter of Lowell before her
marriage.  Four children are living: Mrs. Henry Quigg of Hillsdale, Mrs. Max
Wilson of Grand Rapids, Iva of Detroit, and Eugene Lepper of the city.  There
are six grandchildren.

The funeral will be conducted by Rev. C. D. Hoag at 10:00 a.m. Friday at the
residence, 639 Prospect Street.  Burial in Highland Park.
