Our town and community were shocked Saturday last as word was passed from lip to lip that Dr. Albert J Hepler, New Bethlehem's oldest medical practitioner, had been called from time into eternity. Dissolution came peacefully at 12:45 pm Saturday, November 13, 1926 after eighteen hours of intense suffering caused by embolism.
Friday evening at 7 o'clock, the Doctor was in his office ministering to a patient; at 7:15, he called his son, A.M. to his office and remarked that he was very ill. Dr. Hilton A Wick was hastily summoned and did all in his power to relieve the sufferer. His son, Dr. C. V. had been at Pittsburgh that day and did not arrive home until almost an hour after his father had been stricken. He and Dr. Wick had him removed to his home in Wood Street and Dr. Longwell of Seminole was summoned. All night long the three physicians worked over him, and all next forenoon; but the pale horse and his rider claimed him and medical skill met its Waterloo.
Albert J Hepler was born in Limestone Township, June 6, 1858 and was a son of the late Jesse and Elizabeth (Mohney) Hepler. He received his early education in his district school and prepared himself for teaching. He taught several terms during the winter, working on his father's farm during the summer. He finally decided to enter the medical profession and to that end matriculated in the office of Dr. Johnson of Limestone. After reading for some time under Dr. Johnson, he entered the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, graduating therefrom in June 1886.
After his graduation the Doctor, who had been married in February 1881 to Miss Luella E. Stahlman, located at Hawthorn, this county, where he practiced his profession with signal success for three years. He then located at Fairmount City, Pa., where he practiced eleven years. At the end of that time, 1900, he moved to New Bethlehem where he resided ever since. In all he practiced forty years, and in that time his patients numbered in the thousands. He was widely known as one of the best physicians for fevers in all the country.
Dr. Hepler by strict adherence to duty amassed quite a fortune. He was known as a successful financier as well as a successful physician and was universally loved and respected. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of New Bethlehem and was also affiliated with the following: The Maccabees, the Protected Home Circle, and the Independent Order Odd Fellows. He was also a Director of the New Bethlehem Trust Company, a member of the Bostonia Country Club and alternate surgeon of the P.R. R. The Clarion County Medical association honored him by electing him as its President.
To his union in marriage with Miss Stahlman in 1881, were born seven children, namely:
Dr. C V Hepler
A M Hepler
A F Hepler
E H Hepler
Mrs. Clarence Lower
Mrs. A J Mase
John J Hepler
John J preceded his father in death in 1914. His wife also preceded him in death, August 28, 1924. All the other children survive. He is also survived by one brother, Raymond Hepler of Hawthorn.
On September 1, 1925 he was married to Mrs. Clarinda Longden of Pittsburgh and the two went to housekeeping in the Doctor's Wood Street residence, this place, where he crossed over at the age of 68 years, 5 months and 7 days. Their married life was very beautiful and happy.
A large concourse of people, friends and neighbors, viewed the body as it rested in his late home amidst a profusion of floral offerings from his immediate family and numerous friends till Tuesday, November 16 at 2:30 at which time services were held there by his Pastor Rev. J W Fraser and his former Pastor Rev. Maxwell Cornelius of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Elma Sulzner of Pittsburgh and Mrs. Charles Fitzgerld of Clarion sang "Abide With Me". Mrs. Sulzner also sang "In The Garden", and Mrs. Fitzgerald "Face To Face". Mrs. L R Himes accompanied them on the piano, at the conclusion of which interment under the direction of Mateer and Heller was made in the local cemetery beside kindred dust.
The following named physicians attended the funeral, the first six named being the pall bearers:
I Dana Kahle, of Knox; B J Longwell of Seminole; C E Sayers of Hawthorn; Hilton A Wick of New Bethlehem; Charles Fitzgerald, S J Lackey, C C Ross and J T Rimer of Clarion and F M Stahlman of Pittsburgh. The directors of the New Bethlehem Trust Company also attended in a body.
The following out of county friends were present: Mr and Mrs Jas Smiley, Verona; Mr and Mrs Harry Scott, Jr, Mrs Harry Scott, Sr, Mrs. Elma Sulzner, Mrs T E Perry; Mrs Wm H Ritchey; Rev. Maxwell Cornelius and Stanley Longden, all of Pittsburgh; Mr and Mrs Paul Stahlman of Indiana, Pa; Foster Hepler of Butler and Ralph Hays of Ford City.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sorrowing wife, children and brother in their bereavement.
