Ottertail, July 12 -
Martin Epler was born at Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 21, 1859. He was married to Caroline
Nevil in 1878. In 1895
he came to Otter Tail County where he bought his first farm in
section 22 of Ottertail Township, where he and his wife lived near
the beautiful shores of Otter Tail Lake for almost fifteen
years.
In 1909 he rented the old
home farm and went to Montana, settling at or near Craig, where he
purchased a cattle ranch of some eight hundred acres. There he enjoyed the life of
a cattle rancher for some six years. In 1915 he sold out the
ranch in Montana and moved back to this county, settling in Otter
Tail where he built a nice home and where he and his wife resided
until 1927 when he made his last move out west to the state of
Oregon where he bought a new home in the city of Medford.
May 26 he was stricken
with apoplexy. He lay
in a state of unconsciousness most of the time, with two doctors and
two nurses attending him.
He passed away Friday evening, June 30, at 8:30 p.m. at the
age of 74 years, 5 months and 9 days. He leaves to mourn his wife
Caroline, who has been his faithful wife and helpmate, all these
years. Also the
following sisters and brother:
Mrs. Annie Shrimp, Dushore; Samuel Epler, New Albany; Mrs.
Lizzie VanHorn, Mrs. Emma Bahr of Cherry
township.
The remains were brought
here from Medford and interment was in the Ottertail cemetery, the
funeral taking place Saturday, Lester Whiting who was in charge read
the above brief history of his life and gave a prayer. Mrs. Alvin L. Schultz, Mrs.
Lloyd
Schultz, Geo. Schultz and
Walter Brutlag as a quartet sang “Nearer My God to Thee.” Those from
a distance who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Rieman, Mr. S.B.
Irwin and daughters Frances and Carrie, all of Fergus Falls, Judge
and Mrs. Anton Thompson and son Owen of Henning, Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Parker of Girard. The
pallbearers were Henry a. Schultz, G.A. Schultz, Wm. Burmeister,
S.B. Barnett, Henry Jones, and Mert Barber.
Deceased had many friends
here. He never had any
children of his own and yet one remembers seeing all the little boys
in the village accompanying him to the train when leaving after a
visit here. A great
sportsman, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially fishing in
winter and he would fish in every kind of weather.
Sympathy is extended to
Mrs. Epler, who after a visit with friends here expects to visit in
Montana before returning to her home at Medford.

Never

The Sullivan
Review
September 1, 1904
As a result of a shooting
affray on Railroad Street, in this place, on Sunday evening about
nine o’clock, Jacob Epler is dead.
Gertrude, the divorced
wife of Samuel Epler, is shot through the leg, and Frank Yanney is
confined in the county jail charged with murder. Some years ago Gertrude
Stahl, a foster daughter of Henry Stahl, was married to Samuel
Epler; the couple lived happily for a time, when Frank Yanney
appeared on the scene, and Mrs. Epler appeared to prefer him to her
lawful spouse. The
couple was, we believe, divorced and remarried, and then Epler again
applied for a divorce.
The woman has for some time been living with Yanney about
three miles from Dushore, and a ten month old child went through the
fracas with her Sunday evening without a
scratch.
Yanney and the woman went
on the excursion to Harvey’s Lake Sunday, and Samuel Epler and his
brother Jacob also went.
It appears that the parties had met and quarreled at the
lake, and that the quarrel was continued on the train, and that
promises had been made on both sides to settle the affair when
Dushore was reached. It
is but fair to the murdered man to state that he had generally acted
in the capacity of peacemaker and had repeatedly besought his
brother to have no trouble with Yanney. They were but a few rods
from the station when it is alleged the woman remarked that if they
were ever going to settle the matter it was time they begun. Yanney and Jacob Epler
pulled their coats and started toward each other. Immediately there were a
number of shots fired, the woman sprang between them, and Epler fell
to the ground. He got
up and walked a few rods farther and again fell into the ditch. His friends got a cot and
carried him to Dr. Randall’s office where an examination showed that
he was shot through the abdomen, the ball entering low down and
ranging downward. The
doctor was unable to find the ball, and the man was finally removed
to the home of Warden Bahr, a brother-in-law, who lives about a mile
from town. He died
about nine o’clock the next morning.
The woman was taken to Dr.
Herrmann’s office, and an examination showed that she was shot
through the thigh, the ball going clear
through.
Yanney was taken into
custody. Taken before
J.H. Bohn, Esq; and remanded to jail without bail. He was immediately taken to
Laporte and placed in a cell.
After Jacob Epler’s death
Coroner McHenry empanelled a jury and held a post mortem. It was discovered that the
bullet had ranged across the abdomen from left to right, struck the
hip bone and glanced back, crossing the abdominal cavity twice and
completely riddling the entrails. The man was beyond earthly
help when the trigger was pulled. The jury consists of Ira
Cott, Lincoln Cox, Frank Cox, B.P. Hunsinger, Wellington Graifly,
William Fairchild, and they adjourned until Thursday evening at
eight o’clock, when the hearing will be
resumed.
The funeral of Jacob Epler
was held Wednesday afternoon at the Evangelical church, and the
interment was made at Bahr’s Hill. Deceased was about thirty
years of age, unmarried and was known as a quiet, hardworking and
peaceable young man. He
was a son of D.K. Epler, of Forks Township.
The Sullivan
Review
December 22, 1904
Frank Yanney was declared
“not guilty” of the murder of Jacob Epler, by the jury in the case,
at Laporte, on Thursday evening last. The next morning he appeared
before a justice of the Peace at Laporte, armed with the necessary
license, and was united in lawful wedlock with Gertrude Epler, first
wife of Samuel Epler, the brother of the man who was killed at the
Dushore railroad station on the night of August 28
last.
According to the evidence
produced by the commonwealth, Yanney, on arriving at Dushore,
challenged the two Eplers and John Bahr to fight, and called them
vile names, and when Jacob Epler took off his coat and started to
comply with the request for a scrap, Yanney drew his gun and fired
three times, one shot taking effect in the bowels of Jacob Epler,
and another in the leg of the woman the wife of Sam Epler, who was
in company with Yanney.
Epler died the next morning.
According to the evidence
produced by the defense, and the witnesses were principally Yanney
himself, his relatives, and the woman in the case, Yanney had all
along conducted himself in a very patient and exemplary manner. After Sam Epler and his wife
parted she went to the Redburg farm, about two miles from Dushore
and opened a boarding house, and Frank Yanney was one of her
boarders. Sam Epler,
and his brother, the dead man, had annoyed them frequently, and
often made remarks to and about them. It was even asserted that
Sam had threatened to whip Frank Yanney, a good and law abiding
citizen, who was doing nothing more than living quietly in a
boarding house and, we presume, paying his board. On Sunday, August 28,
Gertrude Epler, the boarding house mistress, decided to go on the
excursion to Harvey’s Lake and as her boarder, Frank Yanney also
wanted to go, they walked to the station together, and he very
obligingly carried the baby.
On the train were the Eplers, and it is in evidence that when
Sam saw the boarding house mistress, the baby, and Frank Yanney,
that he made faces at them.
Before the train got back to Dushore some very ugly remarks
had been made and the Eplers and Yanney had interchanged such
courtesies as “scab,” dago, and “s___of a b__” At the station,
according to Frank Yanney and the boarding house mistress, the
Eplers and John Bahr piled on them and Yanney was forced, very much
against his will, to shoot, in order to save his own life. Gertrude says that Sam Epler
shot her. The arrest
and trial followed, and now Jacob Epler is dead and buried, Samuel
Epler is alive, and Gertrude, his two times wife, has gone out of
the boarding house business and married Frank
Yanney.
The evidence was
voluminous, and we cannot very well reproduce it and have room for
any thing else. The
verdict was a surprise to people in this part of the country, and
some very uncomplimentary remarks have been made in regard to the
jury. However, there is
nothing to do about it.
Frank Yanney is innocent, or at least “Not guilty” and has
been so declared by a jury of his peers.
