Hans Jeppersen Dies at Kennard; Funeral Services Held Sunday for Pioneer Farmer Mr. Jeppersen was born September 25, 1850, in Denmark, and was married to Metta Johanna Nelson in Denmark in April, 1881. Following their marriage, the couple came to the United States, where they lived for a few months with friends. In August of that year, they moved to Washington County and established their home in a log cabin on a farm south of Kennard.
In April 1931, Mr. and Mrs. Jeppersen observed their Golden Wedding Anniversary by holding a reception at the Kennard Lutheran Church, more than 200 attending. Mr. Jeppersen treasured this memory and often referred to the pleasant occasion.
When the present Lutheran Church was built, Mr. and Mrs. Jeppersen, presented the bell which is now in use and for years to come it will serve as a continuous memorial to the genial, kindly and helpful pioneer.
Mr. Jeppersen is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Laura Caldwell of Beverly Hill Calif., Harold of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Anna Frank, Omaha, and Miss Nora Jeppersen of Kennard. All of the children were at his bedside when he died, except Mrs. Caldwell, and she was in route from California and arrived in time for the funeral rites.
One brother, Martin Jeppersen of Michigan, and two sisters, Mrs. Dora Johnson of California and Mrs. Christina Mathos of Pennsylvania also survive, as do seven grandchildren.
