LOUISE KEMPER

DEATH TAKES MRS. L. KEMPER AT AGE OF 93
One of Oldest Pioneers Passes On
Death came peacefully to Mrs. Louise Kemper at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Fred Schuette, 805 North Thirteenth street, the
end coming after a brief illness. The funeral will be held from
the home on North Thirteenth street Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
with burial at Evergreen. The Rev. F.P. Keicher of Chilton will
officiate.
Mrs. Louise Kemper, nee Ebel, was the daughter of a clergyman
and was born in Germany, August 6, 1830, making her at the time
of her death past ninety-three. In 1848 with her widowed mother
she came to America and settled at Milwaukee where the family
lived for seven years. It was at Milwaukee that she met and
married Louis Kemper and in 1855 the family took up its home at
Two Rivers. In 1858 Mr. Kemper was elected sheriff and took up
his residence in this city where he died in 1896.
In spite of her advanced age Mrs. Kemper was keenly alert and
up to a very short time ago enjoyed unusual health. She reads
the daily papers, kept in touch with community, state and world
events. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Ida Ertz and Mrs.
Laura Schuette and by one son, Dr. W.G. Kemper. Eight grand-
children and five great grandchildren also survive her. She was
widely known and news of her death will come as a shock to her
many friends as they were unaware of her illness.
