33.  I found in Indianapolis, Indiana, an abandoned gravestone with the name Ivey A. Klepfer, dated Oct. 18, 1884. I yr, 4m, 1d old daughter of Jesse and S.J. Klepfer. Can anyone help me locate the resting place or family members of this little girl?  

I located a small Klepfer family cemetery on 79th and Fox Road in Indianapolis, IN. Simon Klepfer had a farm on this land before Geist Reservoir was built. Many family members are buried here dating back in the late 1800's. Simon and Jesse Klepfer, (brothers) and Savila Klepfer (wife of Jesse) are buried here as well as others. Many of the gravestones have been vandalized. Savila's name is on Jesse's marker with no date of death. I'm trying to verify that Ivey A. Klepfer, 1 year old daughter of Jesse and Savila is actually buried there, does anyone have documents showing that Ivey A. Klepfer did exist and/or was indeed buried there? I have her gravestone that I'd like to place back at her resting site...

Here is a listing of names recorded from a survey done on the Klepfer family cemetery at 10910 Fox Rod, Indpls, IN: Mary E.

41.  Looking for Ronald George Kloepfer.  He would be 65 or 66 at this time. He and I served on active duty with the Marine Corps from 1957 to 1961. His family, lived in Deerfield, Illinois. At the time he had a younger brother, George Kloepfer with George probably being around 50 or 55 of age at this time. To my recollection, the family had strong ties to the Deerfield, Illinois area.   I do know that Ronald George Kloepfer also was a crewman on several sailing yachts in Florida so I'm not sure if that may have been his ultimate destination. In the Marine Corps, he was called "Regg" which emanated from the initials of his first and middle name, "RG."   VincePhD@aol.com  Vince   NOTE:  Contact has been established.  Please disregard.
