WELCOME TO THE KEMPF FAMILY HOMEPAGE!
We are researching Philip and Apolonia Albert Kempf from Cincinnati, Ohio.
They came in 1854 from Bavaria, Germany.
Philip Kempf was born on 19 April, 1829 in Bavaria, Germany and died 21 January, 1899 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He resided on 1748 Jester Street.
Apolonia Albert Kempf was born on 17 October, 1835 in Germany and died 4 March, 1874 in Cincinnati, Ohio from scarlet fever. They resided on 470 Plum St. at that time.
I observed Philip Kempf and family in the 1880 census and he was listed as a peddler of notions.
At the time of his death Philip was listed on his death certificate as a shoemaker!
