Leo Kraemer was born in 1905 on a farm in Wilson Creek, Spring Green Township, Sauk County, Wisconsin. He lived to be 97 and died from old age at The Meadows in Spring Green. He came from a family of 14, three of whom died as children. He never knew his mother as she died when he was two years old. His aunt raised him for the next three years and he returned home at age five to a rude awakening with his new step-mother. He was the youngest of the children that lived, separated from his next oldest brother, Ben, by three olders sisters and eight years. He married the first and only girl that he kissed, Lucy, and celebrated 70 plus married years with her. He worked 45 years for Edward Kraemer and sons as laborer, truck driver, power shovel operator and foreman on road construction projects all over Wisconsin. He was a quiet man, with great dignity and although a loner, he was well-liked and respected.
