William Henry Kemp Jr,
the son William Henry Kemp & Isabelle Nathan, was the oldest boy born in
1891 at Manhattan, NY. Unlike his father and brothers, William Henry Kemp Jr
chose to serve the community in a quieter fashion, shaping the minds of next
generation by being a teacher – and he owned a grocery store for a while.
