Lassen Advocate, Friday,1 April 1921, Susanville CA
Last Monday morning, March 28, 1921, Joseph Crawford Wemple died at his home at Milford where for more than sixty years past he had been a continuous resident. He was one of the few remaining pioneers of Lassen County, and one who had written his personal activities and influence in living letters upon the early-day history of the country. Few men have surpassed Joseph Crawford Wemple in length of days or in his record of service to his fellow men.
Mr Wemple was the third Assessor of Lassen County, filling that office for two terms and it is rather significant that two of his sons have served in the same capacity, former Assessor N. V. Wemple and present Assessor Frank O. Wemple. Later he represented his district as Supervisior for some ten years.
Coming to this valley in 1859, Mr. Wemple was one of the first grist mill in Lassen County and for many years of this life here he was prominent as a stock raiser and rancher. He was born in Schenectady, NY, December 30, 1830 and was within a day or two of 3 months over 90 years of age at the time of his death.
There are six surviving children: Mrs Thomas Harris of Elko, NV and five sons, John B Wemple of Standish, NV and Jay C. of Milford and Frank O and Orlo E of Janesville. There are numerous grand and great grandchildren.
