Kephart, Horace, 1862-1931 -- Family

Kephart, I. L. (Isaiah Lafayette), 1832-1908

This September 2, 1888 letter from I. L. Kephart to his son Horace Kephart lays out the Kephart family tree in what is a rudimentary genealogy of the paternal side of Horace’s family, seemingly at Horace’s request. In addition, Isaiah recounts to Horace he was invited to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania to preach at a “campmeeting,” or church meeting, with all of the expenses paid by the church. Afterwards, he writes a few brief paragraphs on how Horace’s family in Massachusetts is doing, and discusses briefly the upcoming election, before signing off.
