| Notes |
- From Steve Carpenter:
The Ellis family suffered another loss this past Friday. For those who didn't know Kemp, he was the son of Robert Ellis, who was Granddaddy Edgar's first cousin. So Kemp and his brothers and sisters are (or were) second cousins to my Mom, Frances, and her brothers and sister. Personally, Kemp was my second cousin, once removed.
For those who don't know, Kemp was one of the Ellis brothers who had the big farm directly across Carter's Valley from Edgar and Nina Lee's home. When you took the road across the valley to the little store that some of us remember as Branson's Market, or Harold's and later Carpenter's Grocery (not related to my family), if you kept going straight you'd run onto the Ellis brothers farm. Some may remember the sign identifying it.
CHURCH HILL - Kemp Frazier Ellis, age 83, of Church Hill passed away on Friday, December 30, 2016, at Signature HealthCARE Nursing Home of Rogersville. The family will receive friends from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm on Monday, January 2, 2017 at Carter-Trent Funeral Home in Church Hill. A Masonic Service will begin at 7:00 pm with Clay Lodge #386 F&AM presiding. A military graveside service will be held at 10:45 am on Tuesday, January 3, 2016 at Mountain Home National Cemetery in Johnson City.
