HISTORY OF SAVANNAH AND SOUTH GEORGIA BY WILLIAM HARDEN -VOLUME II ILLUSTRATED THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 1913 File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/grady/bios/gbs498alderman.txt Mr. Alderman died in the year 1881. In 1885 he married his present wife, Martha Harman Kemph. She was born near Camilla, in Mitchell county, Georgia. Her father was Jacob Henry Kemph, a native of Georgia, and a son of Faulton Kemph. Faulton Kemph was born in Germany and when a young man spent fourteen weeks on a sailing vessel, which brought him to Georgia. He lived for a time in Burke county, and thence moved to Lee county. He was a well educated man and was honored by official preferment in Lee county, where he spent his last years. He married a Miss Lewis, and reared two sons, of whom John enlisted in the Confederate service at the breaking out of the war and lost his life in battle. Jacob Henry Kemph, father of Mrs. Alderman, lived in Dougherty county for some years after his marriage and later moved to Mitchell county, buying a farm about three and one-half miles south of Camilla. That was his home and scene of labors when the war came on, and in 1863, the month not now being known, he entered the service of the Confederacy, and remained until the close. He returned home very ill, and died on the third day of May, 1865, three days after he reached home. The maiden name of his wife was Eveline Sapp, who was born in Mitchell county, daughter of DeLain and Mary (Chastain) Sapp, natives and life-long residents of Georgia. Mrs. Alderman* mother, who died at the age of seventy-two, reared five children, whose names are: Mary F., John Morgan, Julia L., Martha Harman and Henry DeLain. Mr. Alderman has just one son, by his first wife, named Early Lenwood. He is now engaged in the mercantile business as successor to his father at Pine Park. Contributed by: Carolyn Chason |
