The Publishers take this opportunity, in the closing pages of this volume, to speak a few words in appreciation of the enthusiasm and pains- taking interest displayed by the Editor, Dr. Kemper, in all departments of the work by which this History of Delaware county has been perfected. By a long residence in the county Dr. Kemper has become identified not only in a prominent manner with the medical profession, of which he is now the dean of active practitioners, but also with the life and affairs of the county in general, so that he was a natural choice as editor of a work which has endeavored to include all the numerous interests of a city and county with a history extending back more than three-quarters of a century. A brief sketch of the life of the Editor will be of interest.
General William Harrison Kemper, named in honor of the first governor of Indiana, was born in Richland township, Rush county, Indiana, December 16, 1839. In the carly pages of this history much was said about the sources from which the first settlers of the county came. It is noteworthy in this connection that Dr. Kemper is a member of an early Indiana family that came to the state from Kentucky, and originally from the state of Virginia, where John Kemper, the progenitor of the Kemper family in America, had settled in 1714, having emigrated to this country from his birthplace at Muesen, Germany.
Dr. Kemper's father was Arthur Smith Kemper, who was born in Garrard county, Kentucky, May 4, 1794, was a farmer, and followed that occupation after coming to Rush county, in 1834, where he died in 1849, when scarcely more than fifty-five years of age. The mother of Dr. Kemper was Patience Bryant, who was born in Garrard county, Kentucky, February 9. 1802, and died at Muncie, October 30, 1881. While her husband was German, she was of English and French Huguenot stock. her grandfather, James Bryant, having come from England in 1700 and settled at Manakinton, Virginia. Her father, John Bryant, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war.
Dr. Kemper was reared on a farm, attending the schools at Clarksburg and Greensburg, and in 1856, when seventeen years old. went west to the comparatively new country of Iowa, where he lived for three years. Two years of this time he worked in a printing office, of the Montezuma Republican at Montezuma. Returning to Indiana in the fall of 1859, on the first day of January, 1861, he began the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. J. W. Moodey at Greensburg. But this was a period of national trial and excitement conflicting with all the calm pursuits of nien, and only a few days after the breaking out of the Civil war he had enlisted as a private ( April 18, 1861) in Company B. Seventh Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, for a term of three months. His first engagement was the battle of Philippi, West Virginia, June 3, 1861, and while a member of the Seventh Regiment he was also engaged at Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. On the expiration of his first enlistment, he re-enlisted and served
511
HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
as hospital steward in the Seventeenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, from September 25, 1861, to July 27, 1864. His experience in the war is outlined in the battles at which he was present during these three years, namely : Hoover's Gap, Chattanooga, Ringgold, Lett's Tanyard, Chickamauga, Thompson's Cove, Murfreesboro Road, Shelbyville Pike and Farmington, Missionary Ridge, Cleveland, siege of Knoxville, Charleston, Dallas, Big Shanty, Noonday Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, and the battles before Atlanta. Dr. Kemper is a member of Williams Post No. 78, G. A. R., being a past commander of the post, and is also a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Insignia No. 4648.
Immediately after his return from the field of war, he resumed the study of medicine, attending lectures in the medical department of the University of Michigan during 1864-65, and during the spring of 1865 at the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was graduated in June of 1865. Two months later he had entered upon the practice at Muncie which has been continued now for more than forty-two years. No other physician in the county is now in active practice who was here at that time. Success in his work and the high esteem of his colleagues have marked his career here, and the distinctions that have come to him in a professional way are too many to detail in this sketch. . In 1886 he took a post-graduate course in the New York Polyclinic, and has always been a close student of his profession. His writings on medical subjects are voluminous, over fifty articles having been read before medical societies or published in medical journals. He has also written for the layman from his professional standpoint, these writings entitling him to consideration among Indiana authors. Ilis little volume, "Uses of Suffering," which appeared in 1896, had been written as a lecture, and contains a proof of the goodness of God exhibited through suffering and disease. "The World's Anatomists" is another attractive brochure bearing the doctor's name. In 1898 the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion published, a volume of "War Papers" to which Dr. Kemper contributed the article "The Seventh Regiment." He is a member of the Delaware County Medical Society, the Indiana State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He was treasurer of the state society from 1879 to 1885 and president in 1886-87. For many years he has been local surgeon for the Big Four and Lake Erie railroads.
In politics Dr. Kemper has in the main supported the men and measures of the Republican party. While he has not sought political honors, he has at several times been identified with local affairs outside of his profession. He served as coroner 1870-75, and during the 'Sos was a member of the city council. From 1872 to 18)3, with the exception of two years, he was United States examining surgeon for pensions, and in 1902 was reappointed to this position, which he still holds. He has been an active member of the High Street Methodist Episcopal church for years, and has a record of twenty-one years' service as superintendent of the Sunday-school, from 1867 to 1888. Ilis fondness for travel has led him to many diverse parts of the world, to continental Europe, the Holy Land and other regions about the Mediterranean, besides extensive travels in his own country. The Kemper collection of historical relies, antiquities and curios is the result of many years of search, and is one of the most varied and extensive private
512
. HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
collections to be found anywhere. It will not be improper for the writer to say that such a long life of useful and varied activity has produced, in addition to a well-rounded character. a certain richness of personal charm, a positiveness of judgment, and a readiness and elevation of discourse, that are appreciated by all who have had the privilege of his acquaintance.
Dr. Kemper married. August 15, 1865. Miss Harriet Kemper, of Oskaloosa, Iowa. Mrs. Kemper has for many years been prominent in woman's club work in Muncie. Their three children are Georgette Moodey, wife of John Lawrence Smith; Arthur Thomson and William Winton.
Arthur Thomson Kemper, M. D., who is one of the firm of Drs. Kemper, was born at Muncie, September 7, 1870, and after graduating from the Muncie high school in 1889 and from the Medical College of Indiana in 1897, has practiced his profession in association with his father. In 1906 he took a post-graduate course at the Chicago Polyclinic. He is a member of the Delaware County and the Indiana State Medical Societies, is a Roval Arch Mason, a Knight of Pythias, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church; in politics a Republican. He married. in 1897, Miss Effice Bradford. of Dayton, Ohio.
William Winton Kemper, M. D., also a member of the firm, was born at Muncie, June 13, 1877, and like his brother was educated in the city schools and graduated from the Medical College of Indiana in 1904, since which time he has practiced with father and brother. He is a member of the county and state medical societies, and at the present time is a member of the Muncie board of health. He is a Mason, a Republican in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married, in 1906, Miss Helen, daughter of J. W. Garner, D. D. S., of Muncic.
