Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [400]

           PHILIP KAPPLER, farmer, section 24, Verona Township, is one of
        the substantial agriculturists of the township where he resides,
        being the proprietor of 140 acres of land located on sections 24
        and 25. He came to Huron County when he was 19 years old, in com-
        pany with his brother, DANIEL KAPPLER, reaching here in January,
        1866. He engaged in lumbering for JEREMIAH LUDINGTON during the
        remainder of that winter, and in the spring he went to work with
        his brother, who was a carpenter and builder, remaining with him
        until the beginning of the next lumbering season, when he was again
        employed by MR. LUDINGTON in his saw-mill. He remained in his last
        situation chiefly for five years. His brother settled meanwhile in
        Paris Township, where he has since resided.
           MR. KAPPLER was born April 10, 1847, in Waterloo Co., Ont, and
        is the son of PHILIP and MAGDALENA KAPPLER. He was brought up on a
        farm. In the spring of 1871 he purchased 140 acres of land of MR.
        LUDINGTON, which was covered with standing timber.  He has now 90
        acres cleared and in good cultivation.  His place was in most pros-
        perous condition, with excellent farm buildings, and the recent
        harvest of crops in winter quarters, when all the accumulated farm
        fixtures and supplies were destroyed by the fire of 1881, entailing
        a loss of $3,000, with no insurance.
           MR. KAPPLER was married Dec. 28, 1876, at Port Austin, to MARY
        A., daughter of PETER and MARY A. MURRAY.  The children of this
        union are as follows:  CHARLES, WILLIAM, MARY E. and THOMAS.
