Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   A. Lemp, jeweler, Covington, who has by his own efforts fought his way to a
good standing among the most successful of Covington's merchants, and the oldest
dealer in the line of jewelry in the city, is a native of Alexandria, Hamilton
county, Ohio. He came to Fountain county with his people in 1847, his father
being a teacher of music. He first began at clerking and then learned the trade
of a stone-cutter, which he also gave up, and in 1857 engaged in his present
line of business. In June, 1879, he became the agent for the American Express
Company, and in 1880 he also became agent for a full line of Madam Demorest's
patterns. Mr. Lemp is a member of Covington Lodge, No. 21, I. O. O. F., and has
passed all the chairs of the order. His political views are democratic. He has
never held any office farther than being a member of the city council.
