July 2011 - I am currently doing a genealogical research project on the Clemmens family for the Friends of Miami historical society in Miami, Saline county, Missouri.    I am wondering if anyone knows a descendant I can get in contact with of a Sarah Elizabeth Clemmens Kemp born in Miami in 1849, she married James William Kemp and they lived in Lincoln Township in the 1880, 1900, and 1910 Census and in Tarkio in 1920.  She died in 1926 and he died in 1920.  Their one living daughter was Bertha Eleanor Kemp who married Jesse Lee Pursell.  She died in 1963 and he died in 1925.  They are all buried in Center Grove Cemetery in Lincoln Twp.  Bertha and Jesse had 2 sons that married: Leon Robert Pursell died in 1951 and is buried in Center Grove.  Russell Harold Pursell died in 1983 and is buried in Home Cemetery in Tarkio.  I am looking for any information I can regarding the life of Sarah Elizabeth Clemmens Kemp, particularly any pictures of she and her family.  I have an extensive amount of information on Sarah’s father’s family, the Clemmens, that I could share with the living family members if they were interested.   Sarah was one year old when her father died, her mother remarried and moved out of Miami.    In addition, my young grandson is a descendant of Sarah’s half-sister, and Sarah was lost to her 5 siblings after she moved with her mother.
