EDWARD J. KEMPF (Rep.) was born February 21st, 1862, at
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and received his education in the
public schools of that city. At the age of 14 years he
worked during the season in a brick yard. The next three
summers he was a sailor on Lake Michigan, working at the
shoemakers' trade during the winter months. He stuck to

business, which he had been building as a side issue for
several years, assumed such proportions as to require his
entire time and attention. He is secretary and treasurer
of the Wisconsin Bill Posters' Association, clerk of Chair
City Camp, M. W. A., record keeper of Jonathan Tent, K. O.
T. M., secretary of Council No. 78, Fraternal Reserve
