Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 April 1915 — Grandmother Kepner and Her Great Great Granddaughter. [ARTICLE]

Grandmother Kepner and Her Great Great Granddaughter.

Mrs. Rebecca Kepner was 87 years of age on March 29th and her grand children had her picture taken with her little great great granddaughter, Mildred May, sitting on her lap. Mildred is a year and 8 months of age. The line of descent is as follows: Mrs. Rebecca Kepner, Mrs. Mary Jane Webber (afterward Wright), Mrs. Alice Potts, Mrs. Mary May and Mildred May. It is a fifth generation picture, but Mrs. Webber is dead and therefore the entire chain could not be photographed. Mrs. Kepner is the widow of Robert Kepner, who died a number of years ago and who will be remembered best, probably, because of his long service as janitor of the Rensselaer schools. Although past 87, Grandma Kepner is enjoying quite good health.
