The following was submitted by KempResearcher on Ancestry reportedly from the 1884 History of Callaway County, Missouri:
Peter H. W. Kemp general merchant, Readsville. Mr. Kemp has led a very active life, and while he has achieved substantial success, he has so lived that his name is without reproach and that his character stands for all that is honorable in business affairs and wordy and upright as a citizen. No man in the county or out of it has passed through the activities of over 30 years with a more steadfast adherence to the plane, Manley principles of common honesty than he, and it is eminently just and proper that he should nail enjoy that my reputation for integrity and personal word which has come to him of his own merits. He comes as one of the oldest and best family families in the county, a family in which spotless reputation is hereditary and has never been tarnished by any of its members. He is a son of major Robert Kemp, one of the noblest old patriarchs of the county, a brave-hearted old pioneer who came out here from Virginia in 1834, and contributed his brain and muscle to the great work of transforming the wilds of Callaway County into one of the fairest and most prosperous parts of the state. He is still living, at the advanced and on old age of 83, as highly respected and venerated as any man who ever lived in the county. He was a successful farmer and his day and was prominent in the affairs of the times. Many years ago he was a major of militia and held other positions of distinction in the county. He was always considered a leader of those around him for his intelligence, his high character and his unselfish, generous public spirit. Mr. Kemp's mother was a worthy wife to such a husband, a woman of the noblest and pulses, the kindest heart, of enlightened intelligence, and the gentlest and most affectionate disposition-a devoted mother, a true wife, a sincere neighbor and a devout, Christian lady. She was a daughter of Major John M. Holland, a Franklin County, Virginia. Mr. Kemp has five brothers and two sisters, all married and had a family, except the two younger brothers. Peter H. W. grew to maturity on his father's farm and was brought up to habits of Industry and sober man who by that upright, honest man any other idea of getting long in the world than that of, honorable, industrious methods never entered the atmosphere in which he lived. Thus reared, it is not surprising that his subsequent career has been marked by of faltering integrity under all circumstances. On the fourth of November, 1851, he was married to Ms. Martha A. Kemp, a daughter of David Kemp, a distant relative, but from Georgia to Missouri, where his wife was born in partly reared. Mr. Kemp followed farming after his marriage up to 1857, when he engaged in selling goods at string fields story in Callaway County. He sells goods there was an excellent success for some nine years, at the expiration of which time he disposed of historic and fall of farming for three years. He then bought the store back and continue in business until 1864, when the fares becoming too unsettled for the safe conduct of business, he removed to St. Louis. In 1865, he went to all Audrain County, but the following year removed to the Montgomery City, in Montgomery County, where he engaged in the hotel business and for over two years carried on the best hotel, the “Kemp House, “ ever kept in the city. His house was singularly unpopular with the traveling public. Personally he was well liked by all who met him, and his wife, a lady of remarkable energy and intelligence, sought to it that her part of the hotel was fully of to the mark. A fine cook herself, she knew how to make others do their work, and was an excellent manager, so that all in all their house was without a rival as a comfortable, home like stopping-place. In 1869, Mr. Kemp disposed of his hotel business to advantage in engaged in the agricultural implement business at Montgomery City. This he carried on successfully for about 18 months when he sold it, also, to his advantage. He then established a large hardware store and conducted with his accustomed success until 1874, when he disposed of it and opened a dry goods store. The following year he made advantageous trade of this for property in the Americus, Montgomery County, where he removed and was engaged in the dry goods business for seven years. He then sold out there in the fall of 1882, and the following spring began his present business in Readsville, buying out Mr. Level’s stock of general merchandise. Here he has a large trading and carries a fine stock of general merchandise, one of the best stocks in this part of the county. Reared here, Mr. Kemp has been known to the people from boyhood, and their thorough knowledge of the character of man he is makes his trade one of the best in this part of the county. On the 22nd of August, 1872, Mr. Kemp sustained the heaviest misfortune that can befall one and this life â€" he lost the devoted, self-sacrificing, true-hearted wife of his bosom. She fell asleep and death with a look of sadness on her face for those she left behind, and a look of gladness for those she would meet beyond the grave. A nobler, better woman never lived or died; and her death was a triumphant vindication of the sustaining grace of the Christian religion in the last hour of life. She left two children: Robert M. and Della B. The second son, Elisha T., died in infancy. On the fourth of February, 1874, Mr. Kemp was married to Ms. Mary E. Robinson, a daughter of John and Fannie Robinson, of Montgomery County, but originally of Virginia. She is a most estimable lady, endowed with many of the better qualities of mind and heart, and worthy to take the place she holds in the affections of a man whose domestic life has been singularly happy. Devoted to her husband, and to the duties of her home, she is the good wife described by Jeremy Taylor: "A good wife is Heaven's last best gift to man; his angel and minister of graces innumerable; his gem of many virtues; his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music; her smiles his brightest days; her kiss, the guardian of his innocence; her arms, the pale of his safety, the palm of his health, the balsam of his life, her industry, his surest wealth; her economy, his safest steward; her lips, his faithful counsellors; her bosom, his softest pillow of cares; and her prayer is the ablest advocates of heaven's blessing on his head." He and his excellent wife are both members of the Methodist Episcopal church south, and Mr. Kemp is also a member of the Odd Fellows Order. Mr. Kemp was for four years Justice of the Peace at Americus, Montgomery County.
