Generation No. 4

4.  JAMES HARVEY4 KEMP (JAMES H.3, NATHANIEL L.2, EDWARD/EDMOND1) was born October 1864 in Hot Spring Co., Arkansas, and died Aft. 1900 in Hot Spring Co., Arkansas.  He married DOLCENA "DOLLIE" JAMES December 23, 1894 in Malvern, Hot Springs Co., Arkansas, daughter of RILEY JAMES and MARY MCCRACKEN.  She was born January 24, 1872 in McMinn Co., Tennessee, and died February 14, 1914 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California.

Notes for DOLCENA "DOLLIE" JAMES:
Dollie married Harvey Kemp and they had one son, Louie.  According to the 1900 census records, three children had been born with only one living.  It is curious to note that Louie who was born in January of 1899 is not listed in the census.  It is believed that Harvey died prior to 1905.   No death record has been found to date.  

In 1905 Dollie married Robert M. McClelland (aka George W. Robinson).  They had one son, Ora.   In 1908 Dollie purchased a house in her name only.   It appears they divorced or . . .? (no record found).  (George/Robert died in 1924 in Desha Co., AR.)   Also, the 1910 census record (Spencer, Crutcho Twp, OK) lists Dollie as head of house.  With her are sons,  Louie and Ora, and her father, Riley James.

Dollie  moved to California in 1914,  taking her two sons to Los Angeles.  She died  just six weeks later (diabetic coma).    Her death certificate states her name as Dollie Osburn.  In a letter sent to her father (Riley James) just days before she died, Dollie explained that "Mr. Osburn" had not traveled to California with her because he "was as far west as he wanted to be".  It seems she had remarried.  To date no marriage certificate has been found.  

Child of JAMES KEMP and DOLCENA JAMES is:
	i.	LOUIE LEE5 KEMP, b. January 19, 1899, Malvern, Hot Spring, Arkansas; d. January 28, 1981, Norwalk, Los Angeles, California.

Notes for LOUIE LEE KEMP:
	Louie Kemp was the only living child of Harvey and Dollie Kemp.  Although his birthdate is Jan. 1899, he does not appear in the 1900 census (Hot Spring Co., AR) with his parents.  He and his  half-brother, Ora McClelland were very close during their lifetime.  They were the only two children of Dollie James Kemp McClelland.  When Dollie died in 1914, the boys lived with her brother Mont and Ruby Gentry James.  
	Louie joined the army in 1917. He retired in 1949.  He served in WWI and WWII.   During his service he was awarded various medals, including the purple heart,  "Soldats de Verdun" and the Victory Medal.
	Ora's three children loved the times when "Uncle Louie" came to visit on furlough.  He always had some small gifts and played games with them for many hours.  
	When Louie became a "great" uncle, he became known as "Uncle Louie with the hat".   He, like his brother, always wore a hat.  Since his nephew was named Louie, the children used this phrase to distinguish between the two "Uncle Louies".
	Louie never married.  There were several "close calls", but he remained single.  After retiring from the army, he worked for the city of Bell Gardens as a crossing guard to supplement his military retirement pay.  
	Louie was a good man who lived a simple and humble life.
