Florian Lampert
Florian Lampert was born on July 8, 1863, in West Bend, Wisconsin, and received his early education in the public schools of that city.[8] For the next several years, Lampert did not seek elected office, but was active in political affairs as a supporter of progressive Republican Robert M. "Fighting Bob" La Follette, who became governor in 1901.[9] In late 1904, Florian Lampert sought appointment as state game warden, and was at that time described as the leader of the La Follette Republicans in Winnebago County.[15] Lampert was ultimately appointed as an alternate to the convention by the state Republican Central Committee, and ended up standing in for elected delegate Thomas Torrison, who was unable to attend.[21] Lampert was selected for the Bull Moose electoral slate, but Roosevelt lost the state of Wisconsin in the general election.[23] At the start of his fifth year as city commissioner, Lampert announced his candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives in Wisconsin's 6th congressional district.[27][28] In the midst of the general election campaign, Lampert was still active in his city commission duties, and supported strict quarantine measures in response to the Spanish flu pandemic.[31] Lampert's first full term was uneventful; he faced a primary challenge from state senator Julius H. Dennhardt in 1920, but prevailed by a wide margin.All five of their surviving sons served in the United States armed forces during World War I,[37] beginning a tradition of military service that extended to their grandsons.Their eldest son, James Gillespie Blaine Lampert, was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and was a career U.S. Army officer.Engineer Regiment in France and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, but died of disease before returning home from Europe in January 1919.Florian Lambert's third son, Lester Leland Lampert was also a graduate of West Point and was also a career U.S. Army officer.
