Ralph was the 4th child born to Caroline [Lena] and Christoph Wilhelm [William] Aupperle and their first son. He married later in life to Orpha [Orphie] and had no children born of their union.
I had visited their farm in Council Bluffs, IA where he seemed to enjoy being a farmer, took good care of his 'stock' and allowed we kids to ride on his pony when there on vacation from CA.
