Sarah Jane Williams & William Lucien Kepler of Crawford Co., PA; + WI & FL
If anyone has additional information about this couple and their family, I'd appreciate hearing from you. William Lucien Kepler was the son of William Albert Kepler and Elizabeth Shearer.Sarah Jane Williams was a sister of my great-great-grandmother, Susan or Susannah Williams. Their parents were Nathan Williams, Jr. (1765 - 1851) and Sarah Jane "Sally" Huff (1786/7 - 1870/9), of Crawford County, Pennsylvania, who married there in 1807. Sarah Jane Williams was born 29 Dec 1831 in probably Woodcock or Summerhill Twp., Crawford Co. She married William Lucien Kepler about 1859, probably in Crawford Co. She died 7 Feb 1922 in DeLand, Volusia Co., Florida, but may be buried in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Her husband was born 11 May 1827 in PA and died before 2 Feb 1917 in Eau Claire, Eau Claire Co., PA (buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Eau Claire). The 3 children of Sarah Jane Williams & William Lucien Kepler were:
Maud M. Kepler, born June 1860 in Meadville, Crawford Co., PA; died after 1920, perhaps in DeLand, Volusia Co., FL. Maud married Dr. John Van Reed Lyman on 7 June 1881 in Eau Claire, WI. They had a son, John Van Reed Lyman, and another child who may have died in infancy. It appears that they were divorced before 1910, as she moved to Volusia Co., FL, around 1905 with her parents and sister and married James E. Alexander before 1917. Dr. Lyman was in the 1910 Eau Claire census with a new wife, Mary S.
Katherine Blanche Kepler, born Apr 1862, probably in Meadville, PA; died after 1930, perhaps in Woodcock Twp., Crawford Co., PA; never married. She had resided in Volusia Co., FL, until about the time her mother died.
Herbert Leon Kepler (or Leon Herbert), born about 1871/2 in WI, died 18 May 1905, probably in Eau Claire, WI. He married Bertha Mildred Botsford on 5 Sep 1893. I could not find them in the census in 1900 and do not know if they had children.
