See "Remember 'Kid' Wedge?", ''The Evening State Journal and Lincoln Daily News'' (Lincoln, NE) (December 10, 1917):7.〕 His mother subsequently married a man who proved to be physically abusive to both her and Wedge.〔 After his mother died when he was 8, making him an orphan, his stepfather abandoned him, and he was sent to live with his father's brother,〔Frederick R. ("Kid") Wedge, "From Prize Ring to Harvard: How I Fought My Way From the Lumber Camp to a College Degree", ''The Milwaukee Sentinel'' (February 20, 1922):18.〕 Isaac Wedge (born December 1856 in French Canada),〔Ancestry.com and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

As a young boy Wedge worked as a newsboy and sold newspapers, having to defend his location against "street arabs" and prevent theft,〔〔"Champion Fighter Now Chautauqua Lecturer", ''The Lodi Sentinel'' (Lodi, California) (May 12, 1914):2.〕 and later worked as a helper in various Wisconsin lumber camps, before becoming a lumberjack in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Wedge soon acquired a reputation as a hard drinker and tough fighter,〔"Minister is Advocate of Boxing Game", ''The Troy Sunday Budget'' (Troy, New York) (January 7, 1917):17.〕 and "took delight in starting drunken brawls in Rhinelander" and other logging camps, or assaulting policemen.〔''American Magazine'' 85 (Colver Pub. House, 1918):54.〕 with several convictions for drunk and disorderly conduct, serving a total of 105 days in the Oneida County jail.〔 During this time, Wedge was considered "the rough-and-tumble champion of northern Wisconsin".〔
