Jacob M. Lampert, one of the prominent lawyers of Boise, and junior member of the law firm of Oppenheim & Lampert, with offices in the Idaho building, Boise, is a native of Wisconsin, born in Oshkosh, September 16, 1879, his parents being Joseph and Susanna Lampert, both of Swiss ancestry. The father, who throughout his life was mainly engaged at merchandising, was also born in Wisconsin, in Outagamie County. February 8, 1849. His parents had emigrated from the little republic of Switzerland in the preceding year and settled in Wisconsin. Several families of the Lamperts, all related, came from Switzerland on the same ship in 1848, and on arriving in this country the little colony proceeded westward and all settled in the same county in Wisconsin, where they became pioneers. Joseph Lampert is still living and now makes his home in Stewartsville, Missouri, but his wife died in 1898. The paternal grand-father of our subject was Mathias Lampert and the maternal grandfather was Christian Lampert. The Hon. Florian Lampert, now serving in congress from the sixth Wisconsin district, is a first cousin of Jacob M. Lampert. Congressman Lampert enjoys the distinction of having two sons who graduated from West Point and two sons from Annapolis, while five sons served in France during the World war, one of whom made the supreme sacrifice.

Jacob M. Lampert, the subject of this sketch, was reared in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and was educated in the schools of that place, graduating from the high school there in 1895. Sometime later he entered the law office of the Hon. Gabe Bouck, of Oshkosh, who in his day was one of the most picturesque characters in the state of Wisconsin; he was prominent in democratic politics and served as attorney general of Wisconsin and also as a member of congress. From 1902 to 1916, Mr. Lampert was a resident of Los Angeles, California, and during the greater part of that period was connected with the Pacific Electric Railway Company, being principally connected with the legal department of that company. In 1916 he moved to Boise and has since been a member of the local bar, associated with B. W. Oppenheim, and is now a full partner with the latter in his legal practice. Mr. Lampert is a member of the Idaho State Bar Association and of the Boise Chamber of Commerce, in the affairs of which he takes a warm interest. He gives liberally of his time and attention to all matters pertaining to the welfare of the community in which he has taken up residence.

On February 15, 1919, Mr. Lampert was married to Ellen Kimmell, a native of Boise, where she has spent her life, being educated in the Boise public schools and at St. Margaret's Hall. Mr. Lampert is an ardent supporter of the Republican Party.
