Leppo, son of John and Mary Leppo, was born in Bedford county, Penna., February 25, 1844, and passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie Vaughn, at Barnes City, Sept. 8, 1921, at the age of 77 years, 6 months, and 14 days. When yet a child he came to Iowa with his mother, where he spent his entire life. On January 4, 1864, he enlisted in Co. E, Second Iowa Volunteers, and faithfully served his country until he was honorably discharged on July 12, 1865. On Sept. 19, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Martha McCartney. To this union was born eight children, five of whom with the wife have preceded him in death. Mr. Leppo was well and favorably known here, having spent the greater part of his life in this community. He died after a short illness, death being caused by ptomaine poisoning. He is survived by three children, C.W. Leppo of Libertyville; Mrs. F. F. Vaughn, of Barnes City, Iowa; Mrs. C. E. Ward of Dubuque; eight grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. The remains were shipped here for burial. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church, Saturday at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. R. T. Richards. Interment in Fell Cemetery. ------- Note: The Leppo family headstone is double-sided with inscriptions. On the west facing are inscriptions for Daniel and Martha Leppo. On the east facing are name and date inscriptions for three of their young children: Joseph Leppo, John Leonard Leppo, and Bertha B. Leppo. John Leonard Leppo also has an individual headstone on this lot. Two other young children of this couple were Ida M. Leppo and Mary M. Leppo. They share a double-entry headstone that is separate from the others on this plot. These account for the five children who died prior to the deaths of their parents. -------- Note: Grace Emma Leppo married Charles E Ward on Feb. 27, 1907 in Jefferson County, Iowa.
