 The Somerset herald. (Somerset, Pa.): May 26, 1880
At Berlin, April 8, 1880, William Knepper, aged 88 years, 3 months and 6 days… At
the age of 21 he took part in the War of 1812. He was one of the last of those old
veterans, who, one by one, have joined their battalion beyond the skies, to answer
the last roll call. Only two out of the two companies from Somerset county survive
him. He always took a lively interest in military affairs and the political event of
the country. He traveled considerably, having visited the principal cities of every
State east of the Rocky Mountains, and Canada several times. From his youth he was a
member of the German Reformed Church. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H.
F. Keener, of the Reformed Church. He was buried with military honors.
