Attention: Gary, Judith, Fay, Mary, Bill and other Kemp researchers. 1) Francis Kemp death cert states died Aug 29, 1909, a female died age 27 and married at time of death in Difficult, Tenn. which would make her birth year 1882. I wonder if this could be Johanna Francis Green b 18 July 1878; d 28 Aug 1909 (Yes I see the birth year would be different but the death date is close. She married C. D. (Tobe) Kemp 14 Feb 1902 in Smith Co. and was the d/o James Green 1821-1888 and Nancy Smith 1838-1912. Pg 190 N/C - Francis Kemp b 18 July 1878 - d 28 Aug 1909. If these Francis are one and the same she would have died at age 31 not age 27. It is something to work with but need to verify... I do know I have found some errors in these death certificates. 2) Susie Kemp b 25 Sept 1887 in Monoville, Smith, Tenn. d 29 June 1937 in Monoville, Smith, Tn.; buried 30 June 1937 in Sanderson Cem., Smith Co. I have same info as on death cert. The informant is that of her husband R. J Kemp. Susie is d/io Henry Beasley & Sarah Alice Taylor (went by Alice). Pg 120 N/C Henry Beasley 15 Oct 1855 - 5 Feb 1929; Alice next to him listed as Alice Beasley 27 Apr 1860 - 18 Oct 1952. Henry & Alice are buried in the Beasley Cem. Pg 131 N/C in the Sanderson Cem is Susie Beasley Kemp same dates as above; w/o R. J.Kemp 6 Mar 1881 - 14 Oct 1962. Buried next to Susie & R. J. are E. O. Kemp 16 Feb 1860 - 22 Aug 1942 and J. R. Kemp 16 Aug 1845 - 26 Nov 1916. This death certificate is funny....it lists Susie as having the occupation of HOUSEWIFE. The question regarding last time held this position is 1937 (year of her death). The doc forgot to answer the question as to the number of years she held this position. I have never seen these questions answered before for a female.l 3) Katerine Kemp born 26 oct 1924 in Tenn died 26 Oct 1924; born, died, and buried in Dixon Springs on 27 Oct 1924. The death cert. states she is the d/o Lurley Clarence Kemp and Alice Bassie Andrews Kemp. In the Will Gregory Cem (Pg 137 N/C is the following: Lendy/Lurley C. Kemp b 2 mar 1897 - 2 Apr 1968 and be him is Bassie A. Kemp b 21 Oct 1897 - no death date is shown. I carefully checked the Dixon Springs listings and did not find Katerine (Infant) Kemp. Perhaps there is no stone. 4) Ellen Blackburn Kemp b 25 Nov 1901 in Smith 17th Dist; d age 35 yrs 3 mos 18 days in Smith Co. ...the death date is smudged, however in the N/C pg 173 is Lina Ellen Kemp 25 Nov 1901 -13 Mar 1937. Ellen was buried of the 14th Mar 1937 in Defeated's Defeated Memorial Cem., Sm. Co. Tthe death cert states she was married at time of death to Stanton Kemp and was the d/o John Blackburn and Mahaley Winfree. Pg 173 N/C are the following near one another: Eliza Mae Kemp 18 May 1902 - no date of death shown on t.stone; Jasper Stanton Kemp 7 July 1900 - 14 Aug 1967, followed by Lina Ellen Kemp 25 Nov 1902 - 13 Mar 1937. Could not locate Ellen's parents graves. More next week. Melba
