Many ask what the history is behind the log home on the property, well here is the story: Few log homes if any have had as dramatic a history as the one that resides on the property. Due to no records currently available all we have to go on is the house being built somewhere around 1818. After changing hands through the ages the house was purchased in the 20's by Henry and Myrtle Bepler who had three children: Helen Isabelle, Myrtle Elizabeth (Betty) who married Meredith G. ...Neal and a son who died young. A grandson named Noel belonged to Elizabeth and Meredith Neal. Henry and Myrtle did not get along very well with Meredith because he had eloped with their daughter. January 22, 1949: Meredith Neal arrived here at the log home and told the Beplers that he was taking Noel back to live with him in Seattle. A fight began and Meredith shot Mr. and Mrs. Bepler twice with a .32 caliber revolver. Henry Bepler passed away the next day at the age of 66 his wife Myrtle (63) survived. June 1949: Trial is held with the judge and jury visiting the home and the plea is self defense. Eventually, Meredith is found not guilty. Extensive searches of Google news archives have brought up many articles about the shooting as well as the trial along with photos.
