HOLD FUNERAL SERVICES FOR FRED KLEPPER SATURDAY.

Funeral services were held at Salem Reformed church in Ludlow last Saturday afternoon for Fred A. Becker, 56 year old former Ludlow resident, who passed away at Worthington, Minn., last Tuesday. The Rev. DeBuhr officiated at the rites and burial was made in the Salem cemetery.

Mr. Klepper was born in Ludlow township Jan. 1, 1883, and in his boyhood had attended the public schools and received his religeous education in the catechetical school of Salem Reformed church.

On Apr. 28, 1897, he was married to Mattie Becker of Ludlow and two children were born to them. Mr. and Mrs. Klepper soon after their marriage settled on a farm northwest of Postville and after two years moved to a farm in Ludlow. They then moved to a farm near Burr Oak, but again returned to Ludlow where they remained until Mrs. Klepper's health failed, when they went to Colorado and then moved to Dubuque where Mrs. Klepper passed away in a hospital in October 1918.

He is survived by his son, Edgar, of Preston, Minn, the daughter, Mildred of Madison, Wis., three brothers, Simon, Winthrop, William in Ludlow, and Theodore in Wadena; two sisters, Mrs Herman Hansmeier of Ludlow, and Mrs. Henry Snitker of Postville.
