Bio from Jackson Twp., Hardin Co., Ohio:
WILLIAM HEMPY, farmer, P. O. Forest, is a son of Peter Hempy, whose father was born near Lutzenburg, Germany. Peter Hempy was born in the State of Maryland, where he, matured and married Mary Michael, of the same State. During the first decade of the present century, they settled in Fairfield County, Ohio, where they both died. He was a millwright by trade, but owned and lived on a farm. He furnished a substitute in the war of 1812 from Fairfield County, where William, the sixth of their thirteen children, was born April l5, 1823. William matured in his native county, where he received a common school education and when sixteen years old was enabled to teach. About this time, his father died, leaving him entirely alone in the circle of life. On June 15, 1851, he married Christina Trissler, and the same year purchased and settled on five acres of land in this township. By strict economy and industry, he and his wife have accumulated until they now own nearly 100 acres of good land. In 1863, when all building material was extremely high, his entire buildings were swept away by the devouring flames. Mr. Hempy has always been handy with tools, and has done considerable carpentering, which was convenient for him in many instances when starting in the dense wilderness of Hardin County. He has devoted some time to saw-milling, and for several years had a mill on his farm. He and wife have had eight children, seven of whom are now living. Mrs. Hempy is a sister of J. R. Trissler.

FATHER OF SIXTEEN- Christopher Hempy dies at home in Pleasantville having reached advanced age-end is peaceful
Christopher Hempy, aged 70 years, died at his home in Pleasantville on Monday morning at 5:30 o'clock. His death came unexpectedly and was a severe shock to his friends and the close relatives of the family, who knew that he had been in ill
health for some time, but had no idea of the end being so near.
His condition grew suddenly worse at 3:00 o'clock Sunday and growing weaker and weaker, he finally passed peacefully away on the following morning at 5:30 o'clock.
Mr. Hempy was very well known in Pleasantville and the immediate vicinity, where he had been leading a retired life during the past few years. He was the father of 16 children, most of whom are still living, and besides whom he is survived by a widow, his second wife to whom he married a few years ago.
