James Amos KEMP was born on 17 Aug 1866 in Sedalie, MO. He died in 1934 and was buried in Elida, NM. James married Clara Belle WALKER on 21 Oct 1893 in Gainesville, TX.
His father was William Jiles Kemp, and mother Sarah Elisabeth Kemp. Granddaughter, Norma Bacher, has a lot of information on the Kemp family. She says the James Amos had asthma very bad and had trouble breathing. He and Clara Belle loaded the wagon and took off looking for a climate where he could breathe easy, leaving the kids to finish settling things. Floyd was born on this trip in 1914, and the other kids joined them when things were sold. Between 1917-1929, the family lived near Peterburg, TX, then moved on to Elida, New Mexico, an even drier climate, where he died in 1934. The three boys, James, W.T., and Elmer Floyd fought a lot when small and were nicknamed after three stubborn mules the family had: Jack, Pete, and Red. Floyd had red hair to match his nickname of "Red".

I have 4 children for her. Her granddaughter, Norma Bacher, has a lot of information on the family, furnishing pictures of Catherine, Clara Belle, Fannie Mae, Charlie and others, plus anecdotes on family. She said that Clara Belle was only 4 years old when her mother died. She was alone with her father on a farm near the Red River in Oklahoma territory near Gainsville, TX. He would go into town and leave her alone for days, sometimes without adequate food. One time, she was playing with her wax doll in the yard and she saw a cloud of dust with 3 horsemen riding toward her. She ran into the house and hid under the bed. The horsemen made themselves at home in what they thought was an empty house and ate what little food there was, being loud and using foul language as she remembers. She was hungry until her father returned. When she was age 9, her sister, Fannie Mae, who was 14 years older and had gotten married right after her mother died, came and took her to live with her over her father's objections. There is some talk in the family of child abuse. Norma says that her grandmother Clara Belle grew to be an attractive lady 5'6" tall with high cheek bones and oval face. Norma Baker says that she lived in her own apartment in their house in her later years. She says that she was a skilled seamstress, making all of her own clothing and also Norma's. She also remembers her method of correction was a thimble on the head. Ouch!
