Key D. Camp manager of the Mystic Bicycle Factory of Mukwonago was married here Tuesday to Miss E. Krooke of Slaughton by Rev. J. G. Blue. They will reside at Mukwonago.

Submitted by a researcher/see contributors page Key Camp's wife was named Emma; do not know if her maiden name of Krooke is accurate. She was undoubtedly from Stoughton, rather than Slaughton, but the name has not been located there.

Key & Emma's son, Everett, is listed in early WI birth records as having been born in Waukesha Co. but surname listed as COMP instead of CAMP.

The Key Camp family apparently didn't remain in Waukesha Co. for very long.
