- Daniel Howell Hempleman
Daniel Howell Hempleman, son of George Hempleman the Second and Ruth Howell Hempleman, was born March 7, 1816, on the old homestead west of South Charleston, Clarke County, Ohio, on the farm his father settled when he first came to Ohio. His early training was on the farm, led by a sturdy father, learned those early traits of manhood, which in after life endeared to him all those who were fortunate enough to know him and partake of the hospitality of his home.
Early in life he learned the stock business, and he, in company with his brother Henry, often went as far West as Arkansas, buying large herds of cattle, and then driving them through to Illinois, then grazing them during the summer, and then drive them on to the home farm in Ohio. Would feed them out and drive them on foot across the mountains to Philadelphia. This was a great business in those days before the railroads.
Daniel Hempleman married Sarah Fletcher, daughter to Robison and Catherine Wooding Fletcher, January 3, 1839. Sarah Fletcher Hempleman was one of those rare women, loving and beloved by every one. She was a loving wife and a kind and indulgent mother. Her first duty was her family, then her friends in distress. It was one of those missions of kindness to a sick friend, that she contracted a cold which caused her death November 13, 1867.
In 1853, Daniel Hempleman, in company with his wife and family left Clarke County, Ohio, and moved to Clinton, Ill., and there settled on a farm near Clinton, and there lived until he died, November 10, 1905.
To Daniel H. and Sarah Fletcher Hempleman were born nine children, three sons dying in infancy. Those living to man and womanhood were: Ann Mariah, Emily G., Percy L., Marion F., Albert and Elizabeth.

- Albert Hampleman, the only son of Mr. Daniel Hampleman, died on Tuesday afternoon, of typhoid dysentery. Mr. Hampleman had been sick for ten or twelve days, but down to last Sunday hopes were entertained of his recovery. That night he took a change for the worse and death was the result. This is a case where the father gave his life for his son. Albert’s little boy had been sick with the same disease, and for tow or three weeks he nursed the child day and night. The child recovered and then Albert was taken down. He leaves a wife and three children, the youngest child being but a few weeks old. His father and his bereaved family have the sympathy of their friends in their great affliction.
