THOMAS PEPPARD
THOMAS PEPPARD, EARLIEST SETTLER OF MEEME, IS DEAD
Pioneer Resident of County Who Would Have Been 90 on February 1, Summoned by Death Yesterday Afternoon
FATHER OF FIRST WHITE MAN BURIED IN TOWN OF MEEME
Thomas Peppard, one of the earliest settlers in the town of Meeme, died at his home there yesterday afternoon. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, Feb. 1, 1827 and had he lived until the first of February, he would have been 90 years of age.
When not more than a year of age, his parents came to this country, and settled in Ohio. In 1847 they came on to Wisconsin, coming to Chicago where the family took passage on a Goodrich boat as far as Sheboygan, and walked from Sheboygan to the point where they settled.
His father, Thomas Peppard, was the first white man to be buried in the town of Meeme.
Mr. Peppard cleared his farm and improved the property. In the early days of the shipbuilding industry in this city he became an expert caulker and was employed in the yards here considerable time. He also sailed the lakes for a time but spent most of his life on the farm and in this city. In the early days the pioneers walked when they made a visit to the city and Mr. Peppard made many trips to Manitowoc and Rapids, the later place at that time being the principal trading post of this section.
Married in Chicago in 1847 to Mary Furan, who preceded him in death five years ago, Mr. Peppard was the father of 11 children, all of whom survive, being Mrs. A.J. Clark, John Peppard, this city; James, Dan and Mary Peppard and Mrs. James Shallue, of Meeme, Nellie of Chicago ; Mrs. Geo. Pollard of Malmo, Neb.; Thomas of Seattle and Mrs. Alice O'Connor of Oklahoma.
The funeral of Mr. Peppard will be held Monday morning from St. Isador's church at Meeme.
