Edwin Hemberger was born in the town of Franklin, Sauk County, Jan. 21, 1876. He was united in marriage to Miss Martha Jahnke on Nov. 24, 1898 at North Freedom. For the first two years of their married life they farmed at Arpin. For the past 32 years they lived on their farm at Stetsonville. Due to ill health, Mr. Hemberger was unable to do the heavy work of farming and he and Mrs. Hemberger moved to Abbotsford two years ago.

He is survived by his widow and three daughters, Mrs. Chris (Tillie) Waldhart, Mrs. Otto (Helen) Handle, of Stetsonville, and Mrs. Ernest (Mildred) Waldhart, of Spencer. There are 14 grand children, three of whom are in the service, and one great grand child.
