LEPLEY Prominent Victor Man Succombs After an Illness of Three Weeks John B. T. Lepley died at his home in Victor Monday at 12:30 o'clock after three weeks of heroic battle with pneumonia. The end came suddenly, though not unexpected. The deceased was a few months past 47 years of age, and has been a life-long resident of this vicinity. For a greater part of his life he was a successful farmer and resided two miles west of Victor. Two years ago he purchased a grocery business here and moved to town, where he has since resided. For a number of years Mr. Lepley had been troubled with a serious affection of the eyes, and it was while taking treatment for his eyes at a Chicago hospital that he contracted the pneumonia which was the cause of his death. Mr. Lepely was a man loved and respected by all who knew him; he was a man devoted to his family; was prominent in secret society circles; and was indeed one of Victor's leading citizens. He was a Past Grand in the local lodge of Odd Fellows and was a Past Chancellor of the Knight of Pythias, and was a member of the grand lodge of both orders. He was also a member of the local Pythian Sisters and the Rebekah lodges and always took an active part in the deliberations of the societies to which he belonged. He will be sadly missed by the surviving brothers and sisters. He leaves to mourn his demise a wife and two sons, an aged father and mother, and many other near relatives, besides a host of many friends and acquaintances. The funeral was held today under the joint suspices of the Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows lodges. The services were held at the M. E. church and the sermon was preached by Rev. W. S. Kight, a lecturer in fraternal circles. He was assisted in the services by the Rev. W. J. Hamilton, pastor of the church. Burial was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Surviving him are the devoted wife; two sons, M. C. and Joseph, both of Victor, the aged father and mother, one grand-child, and five sisters, Mrs. Flora Lockhart, Miline; Mrs. S. P. Gaumer, Des Moines; Mrs. John Harden, Victor; Mrs. G. B. Drew of Wisconsin; and Mrs. George Winchester, Rocky Ford, Colo. All these relatives were in attendance at the funeral except Mrs. Winchester who was detained at home on account of illness in her family. The whole community mourns with the bereaved ones and the sympathy of hundreds of friends are extended to the family in their sorrow.
