SAMUEL KEMP, farmer and stock-raiser, was born February 6, 1842, in this
county, and is the eighth of the nine children of Samuel and Tabitha (Hicks)
Kemp, both natives of Tennessee, and of English extraction. The subject of
this sketch received a fair education, and was reared to the plow by his
father, who located in this township about 1840, and where he died, having
acquired 200 acres, which he sold to his son Samuel, who now cultivates 150
acres there of. February 9, 1865, he married Miss Nancy J. Kent, a native
of this county, which union has been cemented by four children--George (born
November 29, 1865), Lewis (born May 23, 1868), David (born September 13,
1870), and Corda E. (born June 26, 1874). Mr. Kemp takes proper pride in
bestowing education on his children, and is liberal and progressive in his
character. He is a shrewd manager and a careful investigation, a good
business man and a respected citizen. In political matters, Mr. Kemp is a
solid Democrat.
