CHARLES NEPPER,

An aged and esteemed resident of Clappertown, died at 3 o'clock 
Wednesday afternoon of diseases incident to old age.  The deceased was 
born in Reading, Pa., and was aged 81 years.  He came to Blair county 
when quite young and had lived in the vicinity of Clappertown all the 
balance of his life.  For a time he was employed by the Cambria Iron 
company, but most of his life was spent in farming.  He was always 
industrious and well-to-do.  He will be especially missed by the 
Methodist Episcopal congregation at Royer, of which church he had long 
been a faithful member.  He was married to Miss Hannah McCarl of 
Huntingdon county, who survives him with the following twelve children: 
Mrs. Frederick Mosel, Mrs. Lavinia Isenberg and Alexander Nepper of 
Williamsburg, Mrs. S. C. Wertz and Mrs. Jesse Davis of Altoona, Mrs. A. 
M. Lykens of Newry, Mrs. Levi Brumbaugh of Foxton, Huntingdon county, 
Mrs. William Treese of Clappertown, Ernest of Youngwood, Ohio, Edward 
of Steubenville, Ohio, Frank of Charter Oak, Iowa, Joseph of Los 
Angeles, Cal.  Forty-four grandchildren and twenty-eight great-
grandchildren also survive.  The first death in this large family was 
five years ago, when a son, Hartley, was killed on the railroad. The 
funeral services were held at his late home at 10 o'clock this morning, 
conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. G. Steel of Williamsburg.  Interment 
was made in the Mountain cemetery at Royer.
