JOSEPH M. NEPPER.

THE DEATH OF Joseph M. Nepper brings to an end a most active and 
fruitful life. Mr. Nepper was one of the city's successful business 
men, holding a partnership in the concern, Keatley & Nepper, which has 
prospered through the years in this city.  Never electing to enter the 
limelight, Mr. Nepper was devoted to his business affairs as well as 
fraternal and religious affiliations, yet he was always a staunch 
supporter of every worth-while movement tending for civic betterment. 
He was a good citizen and a progressive business head. His death brings 
sorrow to those who knew and admired him.
