LOUIS KEMPER cemetery #44 "Louis Kemper died on Wednesday (April 13, 1898).(don't have name of paper) He was born Dec.17th, 1825 in Lippi Detwold, the son of a forest officer. He came to Milwaukee in 1849, where he was married shortly after, when the couple moved to Two Rivers where he was employed by his brother in-law Chas. Kuehn as clerk. Having been elected sheriff in 1858 he moved to Manitowoc, and at the expiration of his term opened a store in the Alter building. After a number of years he closed out his store to go into the fire insurance business which he continued up to the time of his death. He leaves his wife, three children - Mrs. C. C. Ertz, Mrs. Fred Schuette and Dr. Kemper, as chief mourners, also many friends who will keenly feel the loss of a most sociable, entertaining, out spoken manly and honest companion. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2 p.m. Mr. Kemper's life was such that more than formal notice of his death is justified. He was a man of dignified appearance, but it was the dignity of nature. He admired honesty and independence in men and one could easily judge this by the intimacy of his relations with people. His close friends were men of sterling worth. He was not demonstrative but when occasion required it he spoke--as he always acted--from the depth of his convictions. Inflexible in purpose when he thought he was in the right, he cast no disparagement upon opinions differing from his. He was one of these sturdy men who give the character of firmness to a community without the element of prejudice, a man whose silent influence was always on the side of right conduct."

JOHN KILLEN 1833-1894 cemetery #44 John Killen of Cato died in St. Petersburg, Florida on the 21st inst., from a stroke of paralysis received the day preceding his death. He had gone to Florida for the benefit of his health, which for the past few years has been failing. He had experienced good results from having spent the winter preceding in that state, and sought relief there again this winter. He was born near Edinburgh, Scotland in 1833, and removed with his parents to Waukegan, Ill., when about five years old. When about 16 years of age, his father and mother died. At that time he had hardly any educational advantages, and at once commenced to earn a living as a sailor on Lake Michigan in summer and as lumberman on both shores of same in winter, and continued in these occupations until about the 1856, when he located a homestead in the town of Mishicott, this county. In the fall of the same year he was married to Miss Alice Markham, sister of Governor Markham, and commenced his married life on wild land, heavily timbered, where he was found hard at work endeavoring to make for himself and family a home when the war of the rebellion broke out. Soon after he enlisted in the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry, and served in same until the close of the war, when he returned to his home, broken in health, in consequence of which he sold his farm and commenced in a small way the mercantile business at Cato, Wisconsin where he built up quite a large business. Soon after going to Cato he buried his wife, and afterwards married Miss Tenah Wederman. He leaves a widow with a son and daughter, and two sons and a daughter by his first wife. He was well known in Grand Army circles, and was a member of that organization at the time of his death. John Killen was a man of sturdy independence, large business capacity and loyalty to his friends. He was a good judge of men, and while not demonstrative in his friendships, they were strong. No man ever questioned his integrity and where he reposed confidence it was complete and without reservation. A straight line was always the direction his effort took toward the accomplishment of an object. This directness at times, geve him the appearance of brusqueness, but it likewise gave him the confidence of those with whom he did business. He knew the right with intuitive quickness and always acted in consonance with his perceptions. His death will be a loss to Cato where he had established so many industries which contributed to the prosperity of the surrounding country. There lived no better citizen than John Killen. From the Manitowoc Pilot, January 25, 1894 *********** Death of John Killen An Old Resident of Manitowoc County Dies in Florida Manitowoc Wis., Jan. 24.- A telegram reached here today from St. Petersburg, Fla., announcing the death by paralysis of John Killen of Cato, this county.

He was 64 years of age and leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter. The funeral will take place from his residence at Cato on Saturday next at 10 A.M., under the auspices of the Grand Army.
