Arthur Kemp, third son of George Kemp II and Elizabeth Miller Kemp, was born in Poole, in 1816, and died in Callendar,Iowa, 1901. He served as an officer on the union side in the Civil War, and his picture taken at this time in his uniform,is shown on this page. Mrs. Eve Dougherty, of Salem, Oregon, his granddaughter, sent me this picture. The flat visor of the cap then used in the army is obscure owning to the front view, and I have therefore shown a side view of a similar cap, in the picture.

Arthur Kemp, married Mary Ann Bliss, at Augusta, Mich., circa 1847, and shortly after the war, they moved west to Bassette, Nebraska, where he spent many years on a farm,before moving to Callendar.
