Orville John Kempers was born June 2, 1924, to Gerrit and Sadie (Scholten) Kempers. He was raised on the family farm northeast of Sioux Center. He attended country school and often spoke of the days he missed for picking corn by hand. He married Esther Bosch on Aug. 15, 1946. Their six children were raised in the Kempers Century farm. The couple moved into town in 1978. He was a lifetime member of First Reformed Church, where he served on the consistory. He also served on the REC board of directors for 21 years. He was well known for his purebred spotted hog business. Yearly hog sales were well attended by hog breeders from great distances. In 1996, he was inducted into the Spotted Breeders Hall of Fame at the Iowa State Fair. Favorite pastimes included bowling, fishing and socializing with his friends. The couple enjoyed listening to their family ding and attended basketball games together. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, John and Gary; and a brother-in-law, John Bultje. -Obituary from The Sioux City Journal (12/29/2006)
