From the 1900 census, Peter & Kate (Adolf) Kripplebauer were born in the neighbourhood of 1870 & married c.1892/3. The only Peppers in Ashland then were my family. In 1890 Peter & Kate lived on opposite sides of the 500 block of Centre St. (within a block of this photographer's studio!). My great-grandfather Thomas Pepper lived another 5-6 blocks up the hill. The only one of the younger Peppers married by 1893 was Thomas's eldest, Frank, b. Jan 1865; the couple in the photo COULD be Frank & his wife Loretta Sweeney (b. c1868) whom he married Nov 1890. Or the Peppers could be brother & sister; in that case there are candidates closer to Peter's & Kate's ages: Thomas R. (b. Feb 1871), & either Hannah (b. Feb 1867) or Mary/"Mame" (b. c1873, d. 1897 of a brain tumour). I don't know how to choose among these, & unfortunately I have no idea what any of them looked like! John M.
