Rev John STREEPY (Abner McDowell STREEPY, Edward C STREEPY, Johann Georg, Hans Michael) was born on 10 OCT 1852 in Indiana. He died on 15 FEB 1897 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla Co, Washington and was buried on 17 FEB 1897 in I O O F Cemetery, Waitsburg, Walla Walla Co, Washington.

After John Streepy's marriage to Ellen Lukenbeal, they apparently headed west, first to Montana where their daughter Ada was born in 1881, and then locating just outside Waitsburg, Washington, near Prescott.

The obituary in the Waitsburg Times dated February 19, 1897 for Reverand John read as follows:

"John Streepy, a farmer whose home is near Prescott, died at St Mary's Hospital in Walla Walla last Sunday of Peritonitis, resulting from appendicitis. An Operation was performed upon him last Thursday in the hope of saving his life, but is was too late. Deceased was brought to this city on Tuesday morning for burial. Funeral services from the Methodist Church."

It is not known how he acqquired the title "Reverand." It may well be that he was a lay minister, preaching the gospel when he could.

John married Rachael Ellen LUKENBEAL, daughter of Andrew LUKENBEAL and Sarah Elizabeth HOUSER, on 27 MAR 1877 in Livingston, Appanoose Co, Iowa.
