Harold and Martha Eppley

The recent visit to the home of 97-year-old Harold Eppley triggered a flood of memories about his life. He is a son of Chester, a farmer, and Grace Hieber Eppley. They lived in Seneca County until their son Warren was 7 and son Harold was 5, and then they moved to Heiber Road in Crawford County where John “Dick” was born.

Harold enjoyed the agriculture classes at Holmes Liberty and graduated in 1943 during WWII. He was drafted in 1944, but was declined because of a heart murmur. Yet, he was called back in 1945 and this time the Army sang a different tune — “You’re in the Army now.” He went to Ft. Knox for basic training, was sent to California and shipped out to the Philippines. Everyone on the ship was shocked by the news Japan had surrendered. Some Japanese didn’t get the word, and there was still sniper fire in the mountains, he remembers.
