Obituary: Sioux City Tribune, Sioux City, Iowa: Thursday 23 July 1914: Mrs. P. Lepper dies at age 86 years. (She) was one of pioneer residents of Leeds, coming to Iowa in 1839. Funeral services of Mrs. Phylinda Lepper, pioneer resident of Leeds, Iowa, will be held Friday at 2:00 p.m. from the McEwen undertaking establishment. Interment will be in Logan Park Cemetery. Mrs. Lepper died yesterday at noon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. E. Mote, 4425 Central Avenue, of senility at the age of 86 years. She was the widow of Ira Lepper who died at Leeds seven years ago. Since that time Mrs. Lepper has been living at the home of her daughter. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lepper were members of the neighboring New England (sic- NY) families, the romance which finally culminated in their marriage beginning when they were mere children. In 1829 the Walrods, Mrs. Lepper's family, and the Leppers moved to Pennsylvania. Later both families removed to Clinton County, Iowa, where Mr. and Mrs. Lepper were married in 1847. Thirty-seven years of their life was spent in the locality in which they were married, living the first few years of this time in a log cabin built by Mr. Lepper. After spending nine years in Tama County, Iowa, the Leppers removed again to Woodbury County in 1887, establishing themselves on a farm. Many interesting features were told by Mrs. Lepper regarding their adventures in the early Iowa settlements. Mr. Lepper took and active interest in the growth of affairs at Leeds and earned a very estimable reputation. He was at that time one of the few living sons of a revolutionary soldier, although never accepted invitations to become a member of the Sons of the Revolution. Three sons and four daughters survive Mrs. Lepper: Eugene Lepper of Leeds, Iowa; J. H. Lepper of Mason City; Frank Lepper of Knierim, Mrs., W. H. Denton, Mrs. W. H. Irons, Mrs. Mote of Leeds and Mrs. Thomas Alderdice of Milan, Kansas.
Phylinda was the one whom her brother refused to give to an Indian for his squaw after the Indian had pranced up the lane on his pony showing what a fellow he was and giving other tests that he was a fit husband for her.
