LLEWELLYN G. KLEPINGER, M. D.
Dr. Llewellyn G. Ivlepinger, who is widely recognized as a successful and popular representative of the medical fraternity of Montgomery county, has offices in the Arcade building in Dayton, while his home is on Fairview avenue, just outside the corporation limits of the city. He was born on the 24th of June, 1870, his parents being Henry and Elizabeth (Miller) Ivlepinger, both of whom still survive and enjoy excellent health. George Ivlepinger, the paternal grandfather, was the first representative of the name to come to Ohio, making the journey from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. Henry Ivlepinger, the father of our subject, was born on the old Klepinger homestead in Montgomery county and has long been numbered among the most prominent and influential citizens of his community. He holds membership in the German Baptist church and his life has ever been in conformity with its teachings. Unto him and his wife were born nine children, namely: David; George, deceased; Alfred; Ellsworth; Charles; Mary, who has also passed away; Llewellyn G., of this review; Edwin; and Howard.
Llewellyn G. Klepinger obtained his preliminary education in the district schools of Madison township and when not busy with his lessons he worked at farm labor, thus earning enough money to enable him to go to college. For three terms he was a student in the Northern Indiana Normal School and subsequently was connected with manufacturing interests for about two years. He afterward pursued a course in the Miami Commercial College of Dayton and then, having determined upon the practice of medicine as a life work, entered the Ohio Medical College, from which institution he was graduated in 1901. In 1905 he took a special course of study in Chicago and on returning to Dayton opened an office in the Arcade building, where he has remained to the present time. An able and skilled practitioner, his labors have been attended with well merited success and, although still young in years, he has already gained an enviable reputation as a representative of the medical profession.
On the 15th of October, 1901, Dr. Klepinger was joined in wedlock to Miss Grace Markey, a daughter of Nathaniel and Anna (Wampler) Markey, of Montgomery county. By this union there is one child, Paul Markey. The-family attend the United Brethren church, while fraternally Dr. Klepinger is identified with the Modern Woodmen. He is a worthy and respected native son of Montgomery county and his life has been actuated at all times by high and honorable principles, manifested in his professional labors and in his private life.
