He leaves besides his immediate family five brothers and two sisters, namely; John, Walter, Omer and Glenn of Joy and Chancey of Aledo; Emma Thornhill of Davenport, Iowa and Catherine Geesey of Aledo; two grandchildren, Letha and Lawrence Epperly and a large circle of relatives and friends who will ever hold him dear in memory.

Interment will be in the Oak Ridge Cemetery at Millersburg. Editor's Note - H. H. Epperly was a good citizen, conscientious and dependable. In his time he was one of the leading cattle feeders of his community and a man of good judgment. His influence will be missed by the entire community."
