Our long
lost cousins have not been so long and lost.
Anna's
father Paul Prance was first married to Alzia Evelyne Kemp. She had ten siblings. One of the
sisters of Alziaa Evelyne was Margaret Kemp. Margaret was married to Dudley Sorrells. Margaret and Dudley had a son named Dickie,
as in Dickie Sorrells - which Anna was in high school with Dickie and his wife
Beth Baker Sorrells.
I came upon
an obituary last night in my late mother-in-law Marie's Kemp folder, which was
mostly obituary clippings. It all fell
into place.
As it comes
out, Anna's three half brothers by her father's first marriage are first
cousins to Dickie Sorrells. That makes
Anna and Dickie half first cousins, and Dickie said just remember he is the prettiest.
And if I
shaved my legs I wouldn't look so bad
myself.
