kemble established in county and
city in that early date has ever since
been prominently associated with the
business and social life of the city
and has been carried into all parts Of
the state. Amos Kenble was the first
of the family to enter the state in
1850. He was followed in 1863 by two
brothers, Rev. |. o. and Samuel. X.
K. Kemble was the last brother to
come dating his residence from 1877.

ton among themselves, pledged to

the brothers and their families were
gathered together for similar cele
bration. 1t was an unusual reunion
for so large family and elected
wide comment at the time. The cele
bration of the sixtieth anniversary ol
the same event, with all of the prin

the former occasion, is considered q
much more remarkable >event. Other
reunions of families and members o.
families may have larger attend

circle remains unbroken and Is one
of the very few cases Of the kind or
record. The association of the foul
Kemble brothers for an annual reun
