Nepper, Peter (p. 503), chairman of the town board of Minnieska, and
descended from two families prominent in the annals of the county, is
farming 240 acres in section 32, and is not only making a success of his
chosen vocation but is also doing active work in public affairs which is
tending toward the progress and upbuilding of the community in which he is
making his home. He was born on the place where he now lives, February 23,
1865, the son of John Peter and Annie (Agnes) Nepper, the pioneers and
great-nephew of Michael Agnes, the first settler. He was reared on the
home farm, received excellent training, and early took an interest in
public life. After attaining the years of manhood, he occupied many local
offices, has been a member of the town board for twenty-one years and
chairman since 1901. His fraternal relations are with the Catholic
Foresters. Mr. Nepper was married in 1860 (This date is incorrect if he
was born in 1865) to Mary Heaser, daughter of Michael and Catherine
(Davidshofer) Heaser, who were early settlers of Trout Valley, Winona
County. He was a Civil War veteran (This statement is incorrect if he was
born in 1865), and this union has been blessed with six children:
Veronica; Margaret; Katherine; Minnie, died during the winter of 1919 with
influenza; Frederick and Mary. Veronica, now deceased, married Harry
Thompson, and left two small daughters, Mary and Margaret. Margaret
married Alfred Johnson, of Watopa Towhsnip, this county, and has three
children: Roy, Veronica, and Lovetta.
