Gary, I did a search by SSN, and a search for people born in 1891 who died in Oct 1956, with no sign of any name even resembling Gussie Abigail DeSpain Kemp. Since the SSDI only includes information on SSN's for which a death benefit was claimed, this is a sign that no such benefit was ever applied for. If you need information from the original SS-5 application, you should still be able to make a FOIA request for it based on the information you have and the death certificate. -Richard -----Original Message----- >From: "G.J.Pace" <[email protected]> >Sent: Apr 3, 2008 2:41 AM >To: TNSMITH <[email protected]> >Subject: [TNSMITH] Request for Kemp Social Security Lookup > >According to her death certificate, Gussie Abigail DeSpain Kemp (1 June >1891 - 17 Oct. 1956) had SSNo. 498-24-1668, but I am unable to establish >the correspondence.
