Biography

Alden Bruce Kemp, son of Gaston Raoul Kemp and Florence Elizabeth Murray, was born in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, United States, on 1 June 1905.[1][2] He was enumerated with his parents and siblings during the 1910 census, living in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.[3]

His father died in 1919, when he was 14 years old.

Alden relocated with his mother to New Orleans in April 1928. He registered to vote as a Democrat at 24 years of age in January 1930, and stated their residence was at 1120 Carondelet.[4]

He married Margaret Ethel Gillis, daughter of Wharton B. Gillis and Jane Callender, on 19 March 1931 in New Orleans.[5][6] They had two known children:

  1. Jean Kemp (1932 - 1991)
  2. Golda Lynn Kemp (1940 - 2021)

His wife and family lived at 1017 Fourth Street until about 1936, then moved to 4701 Baudin Street.[4] They were there during the 1940 census, where he worked as a truck driver for a packing company.[7] Sometime in the 1940s they moved a few doors down to 4725 Baudin Street. His mother was living with them by then, and she died there in 1947.[8] The 1950 census shows he was a meat salesman for a meat packing company.[9]

Alden died in New Orleans at age 53 on 26 July 1958,[10] and was buried the next day at Carter's Cemetery in Springfield, Livingston Parish.[1][11]
