THE LATE THOMAS KEMPER
Thomas Kemper was born in Tazewell county in 1838 and died at Jacksonville, 
Sunday morning, January 10, in his 59th year.  He was married to Mrs. Mary 
Allard to whom two children were born.  Mrs. Bailey who lives in Missouri and 
Thomas, Jr., who lives in Hopedale.  His wife died some two years ago.  His 
mother, two sisters and one brother survive.  Mr. Kemper has been for some 
years subject to epileptic fits so that about a year ago it was deemed 
expedient to take him to the asylum at Jacksonville.  He has apparently been 
in good health and his death was a surprise to his friends.  He was a member 
of the Christian church.  The body arrived here on Tuesday morning and was 
taken to Dillon where the funeral services were held in the church.  The 
interment was at the Delavan cemetery.  Mr. Kemper was for many yuears a 
farmer living near the Mackinaw southwerst of Dillon. - Tremont Sun.
