TOWN OF HARRISON

A. H. KAUMP, Sec. 14; P. O. Platteville; was born in the village of Wehrendorf, Hanover, in November, 1815; came to America in the spring of 1835, arriving in the fall of the same year at the Big Patch Diggings; engaged in mining here with his brother, J. W., until the fall of 1876, when they entered the land now constituting their respective farms; the land was heavily timbered, and the entire vicinity a forest. Only John Shipley, Abraham Wavers and perhaps one or two others preceded them as settlers in this town, of which the Kaump Brothers are now the veteran pioneers. A. H. Kaump married Nancy Utt, by whom he has five children - John W., Henry H., Mary J., Ruth A. and Emma L.; all born on the Harrison homestead. Mr. Kaump is a Methodist and a Republican.
