Publisher Info

  • One summer night in 1895, Alonzo Fowler Kempton and Charles Kerr sat beside a prairie campfire, and shared a jar of whisky. They also shared an idea that, once launched, would last a century and beyond. These men founded the Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company. Kempton saw that the settlers of the western plains faced drought, hail, prairie fires, and high transportation costs. Not the least of the farmers' problems were accidents with coal-oil lamps or straw-burning equipment. Some mishaps set fire to tinder-dry crops, machinery, barns, and sometimes entire farms. As a salesman for a stock insurance company, Kempton knew farmers were having trouble paying premiums for coverage on their highly combustible wooden threshing machines. Kempton soon earned the trust of 20 local farmers, convincing them to invest $20 each to help finance the new company. On September 25, 1896, The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company was born.
