Informant Hallie Philpot
Burial Hopewell Cemetery, Booneville, Mississippi, preparation by Halsted and Company Funeral Home (San Francisco)
This funeral home record provides some interesting insights. Note the name of Ward's mother, Dexter Kemp, compared to the name as we know it, Mariah Elizabeth Kemp. I know Dexter as a man's name, and have found no other record reflecting Dexter in his mother's name. One genealogy has suggested the name was Poindexter as a middle or maiden name. Her middle initial of P in the 1900 census matches this name.
Also the last name is Kemp instead of Camp. This is a common transposition made in the history of this set of names. The 1880 census records her family's name as Camp. The errors in the name are probably due to incomplete understanding by the informant, his daughter Hallie Philpot.
