Clupper, a progressive and enterprising agriculturist and a citizen who has done much to promote the welfare and advancement of his community. Mr. Clupper was born August 20, 1874, and is a son of Louis and Mary (Schrantz) Clupper, and a grandson of Christian Clupper and John Schrantz. The home of Mr. Clupper was originally settled by John Schrantz, who emigrated to the United States about the year 1849 or 1850, from Switzerland, and here passed the remainder of his life. The paternal grandparents of Mr. Clupper had the following children: John; Christian; Louis; Henry; Elizabeth, who married James Tyner; Mary, who married Fred Maurer; and Anna, who married Hainlen. By his first wife, who died in 1877, Louis Clupper became the father of two sons, W. F., and one who died in infancy. He was married (second) to Maria Putman, a daughter of Joseph Putman, and three children were born to this union, namely: George, who married Ethel Whitlock; Harley, who married Grace Unger, who is now deceased; and Hugh, who married Letha Sutton. W. F. Clupper was but three years of age at the time of his mother's death, and he was then taken by his maternal grandparents to rear. He received good educational advantages in the public schools of Noble township, and grew up to agricultural pursuits, which he has always made his life work. On his present farm, a tract of seventy-three acres, he has done all the clearing that was not done by his grandfather, and has remodeled many of the buildings and replaced others with new ones. The present turnpike has been put through here during Mr. Clupper's residence, and he was superintendent thereof during the time of its building, a piece of work which was accomplished under the most unfavorable weather conditions, and which took two years in its completion. All of the machinery on his property is of the most modern construction, and indicate the owner to be a most progressive and enterprising farmer, and such is the reputation he bears throughout the community. In addition to general farming he also successfully carries on stock raising, and his business is so carefully and systematically managed that he has won a high degree of prosperity. Mr. Clupper's grandfather Clupper was a republican, and his father also supported republican candidates and principles. Mr. Clupper himself has exercised his prerogative in voting independently, preferring to support rather the man he deems best fitted for the office than to give his vote because of any party allegiance. He has never sought nor cared for public office, finding his whole time and attention demanded by the duties of the homestead place. However, he has always shown his public spirit in helping movements for the advancemeit of his section. His religious connection is with the Christian church at Treaty, to which his wife also belongs, and of which he has served for some time as a member of the board of elders. In 1898 Mr. Clupper was united in marriage with Miss Ida Long, daughter of Jacob and Mary (Burgett) Long. For one year after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Clupper made their home at Treaty, where their eldest child, Merlin, was born. Since their return to the farm they have had two children: Cyril and Noel, and all three are now attending school. Provided by: Clupper Family
