The Elisha Stewart house is part of the Wild Rose Historical Society Museum. The building was started in 1883 and occupied in 1884. After Elisha moved to King and died 1900, Louis Glover lived in the house and ran the harness shop. By 1910 Theodore Keppler's family lived there. The picture shows Theodore (March 5, 1870- June 24, 1945) behind the tree with daughter, Ruth (June 5, 1907-September 9, 1991) in front of the tree. Bertha Jockman Keppler (Nov. 27, 1875- Sept. 20, 1970) is in the chair. Archie( Aug. 17, 1904-Sept. 17, 1978) is in the front center. Henry (21 June 1896-Dec. 1968) is on his side on the right. If anyone knows the person near Bertha we would appreciate know who it is. The Keppler's had another daughter Evelyn in 1911. The Kepplers moved to Racine and were buried in Sheboygan County in Mosel. Theodore ran the harness shop. The harness shop was next door to the house and now the museum's gift shop, general store and weaving room.
