OBITUARY
Mrs. Diantha Kemp, whose death occurred May 23, 1914 at her home in East Fork, was born in Monroe, Monroe Co., Michigan, March 2, 1841. She was married June 17, 1859 to Mr. Charles Kemp, also of Monroe and their four children, George, Will, Lilah (Mrs. Charles Walrath) and Frank were born in that place. In 1879, the family came to Fork and purchased the farm which has since been their home. Mr. Kemp died in 1896 as the result of an accident in his planing mill in Barryton. After his death the mill was operated by his sons, George and Will under the firm name of Kemp Bros., and up to a few years ago was one of the leading industries of this place. Mrs. Kemp lost heavily in the failure of the Mecosta County Savings Bank shortly after her husband's death, but she retained her courage and kept the farm. About fourteen years ago she persuaded Frank who had removed to Akely, Minn., to return and occupy the farm that she might retain her home there and have some of her family with her. She was the best and dearest friend of Frank's family and on the death of his wife last August, the devoted mother gave up her own apartments and comfortable carefree life and took charge of the desolate household. She was a most unselfish, loving mother to her own children and Frank's motherless family received the same tender care. She had not been in robust health for some time, suffering from attacks of heart trouble. It was an attack of this nature which ended her useful life. While her death is deeply felt by her family, her neighbors and many other relatives and friends, it is on Frank and his two little daughters, Erma and Alcie, that this bereavement falls most heavily. Mrs. Walrath who lives in far off Alberta, visited her mother during the past winter but of course neither she nor her brothers, Will and George both of whom live in Idaho, could reach here in time to attend the funeral.
Diantha's parents were George E. Calkins and Diantha Dusenberry. Both died in Michigan.
