Kessing, Clemens. The subject of this sketch was born in Germany, January
22,1839. In 1844 his parents emigrated to the United States, settling in
Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr. Kessing was educated, and from which place he moved
to California, in 1858. After three months' residence in San Francisco, he came
to Santa Rosa, arriving in September, 1858. Here he at once joined partnership
with Mr. Russell, under the style of Kessing & Russell, carrying on a general
merchandising business till April, 1859, when the firm was changed to Kessing
Brothers, Mr. Russell retiring. Again in November, 1863, the firm was changed to
Kessing & Tupper, which continued until August, 1877, when the subject of this
sketch bought the entire interest, and is at the present writing the sole
proprietor, doing business on Main street.
