The death of Peter Kirpes at his home in St. Donatus last Monday morning removes from this life one of the pioneers of Jackson County. Mr. Kirpes was born in Chappellen, Luxemberg, May 15, 1825, and was therefore nearly 82 years of age. He married Mary Lofen in that country and they emigrated to America in 1844, settling in St. Donatus. They were the parents of four children, Mike of Remsen, John of Colton, Wash., Mrs. J. S. Tritz of St. Donatus and Chris of Prairie Springs township. He was married a second time to Miss Pulver. They had no children.
