"Louis Haring... married Margaret Kepler, who was a daughter of Andrew Kepler, who came to Green Township in 1809, where one of his brothers had settled one year before, Mr. Kepler and his brother being the first settlers in what is now known as Green Township. They entered 320 acres of land lying one mile north by one-half mile east and west, and this they divided length-wise, Andrew taking the east half, and on this the remainder of his life was spent. The Keplers were friendly with the Indians, who often came to the home of Andrew for food, for which they gave him lead, which they found around Turkeyfoot Lake. The old log barn erected by Andrew is still standing, and is still in use and in good condition, being one of the oldest barns in Summit County."
