Mrs. Pollyann Kemp
Mrs. Pollyann Kemp, 89, widow of the late “Newt” Kemp, passed away Saturday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Short in St. Marys.

In his memory the Kemps gave the bell which is heard every Sabbath from the tower of the Methodist Church in St. Marys.

Her funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist Church. Interment was in Valley View Cemetery.

Mrs. Kemp was an aunt of Mrs. Joe Navarre and Mrs. Dewey Maupin, of Silver Lake.
