Hepperly, Thomas Camion –
The subject of this sketch was born in Peoria, Illinois on April 12, 1840. He grew to manhood in that vicinity and was married in the fall of 1865 to the life partner with whom he walked for over fifty years. Mrs. Hepperly died in the fall of 1917, and since that time he has made his home with his son, Wade, in Vancouver, Washington.

Mr. Hepperly moved to Ringgold County near Clearfield about 1876 and was a resident of the vicinity until 1903 when he moved to Oregon. Six children were born to them, of whom one daughter died here and lies in Clearfield Cemetery. The others are John of near Clearfield, Curt of Norfolk, Nebraska, Frank of Omaha, Wade of Vancouver, Washington and Mrs. Grace Brown of Fort Gibbons, Alaska. The first two were present at the funeral.

Many of the old friends gathered at the Methodist Church to pay their last tribute of respect. Pastor Douglass conducted the services. The pallbearers were Jos. Doubet, F.C. Nickle, D. E. Moffett, N.W. Wolford, A. W. Cochran and Blanch Nevill. Interment was in Clearfield Cemetery.
