Mr. Kappen is. a native of Germany, born November 5th, 1858, a son of Ludwig and Hannah (Welletz) Kappen, also natives of that country, the former of whom died in Germany. To their union were born five children: Fred, of this review; Minnie, the wife of F. Sharving, of Germany; Sophie, who married John Shocknecht, a resident of Illinois; and Mary and Caroline, deceased. Fred Kappen came to America in 1882 and located in Illinois, where he remained until 1890. He then moved to Franklin county, Iowa, and in 1893 bought one hundred and sixty acres on section 13, Lee township. This is known as the East Lee View Farm and has become, under Mr. Kappen's able management, one of the finest agricultural properties in his locality. It is equipped with substantial buildings and modern machinery and nothing has been neglected which would add to its appearance or value. Mr. Kappen has been twice married. He wedded first Miss Caroline Matzenburg, and they became the parents of three children: Carl, a resident of Illinois; Bertha, the wife of George Diercks, of South Dakota; and Ida, who married F. Powers, of Hampton. Mrs. Kappen died in 1884. On the 6th of November, 1886, Mr. Kappen married Miss Wilhemena Matzenburg, a sister of his former wife. In this family were six children: Mary, the wife of William Christian, of Illinois; Christ and Caroline, who have passed away; Fredericka, the wife, of William Westfall, of Illinois; Sophia, deceased; and Wilhemena, the wife of the subject of this review.
