| Notes: | At the time of the April 8, 1930 federal census, Lawrence was 5 years old and living with his parents and nine |
| siblings on
their own farm in St. George Township which was valued at
$4,000 (approx. $40,000 in 2001 currency). The family did not
own a radio. His uncle Thomas and aunt Milly and their family
lived on the farm next door.
At the time of the Apr. 12, 1940 U.S. federal census, Lawrence was 14 years old and living with his brother-in-law, Henry B. Halfmann; elder sister Emma E.; Henry and Emma's four young daughters, Arlene (8), Margy (7), Jean (3) and Mary Jane (1); sister Dolores (17); and brother Michael (11) on a rented farm in rural St. George, Benton, Minnesota. Henry, Emma, Arlene and Margy Halfmann were living in the same house as of Apr. 1, 1935 but Dolores, Lawrence and Michael Kampa had been living elsewhere in rural Benton County. His brother-in-law Henry was a farmer working 68 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. Lawrence was an unpaid farm laborer who worked 60 hours a week for 52 weeks a year. He had completed his education through the 7th grade. Nieces Arlene and Margy Halfmann, and younger brother Michael Kampa all were attending school. Lawrence worked for Maiers Transfer in St. Cloud for 16 years. In 1965 he moved with his family to Fish Trap Lake, where they owned and operated Four Pines Resort. In 1973 he worked for Morey Fish Company. He and his family then owned and operated Kampa Island View on Fish Trap Lake. He was a member of St. Michaels Church in Motley, the Randall VFW and Motely American Legion. |
