Father John A. Hemlock, Kinsman, was born in Cedarburg, Wis., in 1851; he is 
the second youngest child of William Hemlock, a native of Ireland, who follows 
the occupation of a farmer at Cedarburg, Wis., and who has a family of four 
sons and two daughters. The subject of this sketch received his elementary 
education at St. Joseph's College, Bardstown, Ky., afterward finishing his 
studies at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, Wis. His first charge was St. 
Bridget's Church, Chicago, from which he was transferred to St. Columbkill's, 
and thence came to his present charge, in October, 1880; he has been in the 
ministry since June, 1878. Since he has come here, he has established a new 
mission in Norman Township, which already consists of at least thirty 
families, and a church will be built there in a short time. Father Hemlock has 
also built their parsonage since he came here, and has done much to advance 
the welfare of the people.
