Kentucky Post, 24 Jan 1995, Page 8A - Alphonse Scheper lived positive life.
Alphonse Scheper was one of the oldest World War I veterans in Kenton County.
Mr. Scheper, 98, of Ft. Mitchell, died Sunday at Florence Park Care Center.
"He was born at a time when he saw so many changes with the automobile and the
airplane and the man on the moon," said a daughter, Joan Burgheim of Erlanger.
"He had a wonderful positive attitude. That was the reason I think he lived so
long." Mr. Scheper was a secretary to a commanding general in Alabama during
World War I. He got the job because he knew shorthand and typing. He retired
from the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1962 after 50 years. After that, he worked
for the Internal Revenue Service for three years. He was a member of Blessed
Sacrament Church in Ft. Mitchell, the Holy Name Society at the church and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars Ralph Fulton Post No. 6423. A grandson, Jim Burgheim
of Erlanger, said Mr. Scheper was a "sweet old man." "He always remembered
everybody's birthday," Mr. Burgheim said. "He was real caring." Mr. Scheper
talked about how fortunate people are today. He reminded his grandchildren
that many people didn't have running water and indoor plumbing at the
beginning of the century. One of his fondest memories was watching baseball at
the old Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Mr. Burgheim said. In his youth, he rode
on a horse-drawn wagon to deliver furniture his father made in Covington. It
took a day to travel to Erlanger. "He remembered when the Dixie Highway was
just a dirt road and they would water the horses at Kyles Lane," his daughter
said. Mr. Scheper was an avid walker as a younger man, Mrs. Burgheim said.
"Whenever he rode the streetcar or bus to work, he would always stop in
Covington so he could walk the Suspension Bridge to Sixth and Main streets in
Cincinnati," she said. "He had a record that no one ever passed him while
walking the bridge." His wife, Eleanor Scheper, died in 1992. Survivors
include a son, Thomas B. Scheper of Taylor Mill; a daughter, Alice Zembrodt of
Erlanger; 17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
Mass of Christian burial will be at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the church. Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday at Middendorf-Bullock Funeral Home, Covington.
Entombment will be in St. Mary Cemetery Mausoleum, Ft. Mitchell.
