Kemper Houston Hampton, 79, well known Galax citizen and former Grayson county farmer and livestockman, died about eight o'clock this morning (Monday) in Waddell hospital, where he had been a patient for several weeks.

Mr. Hampton was a son of the late Capt. Litrille Hampton and wife, Mrs. Nancy Blevins Hampton.
Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Annie Nuckolls Hampton; four sons, Dr. C. L. Hampton, Galax; Litrille Hampton and Raleigh Hampton, both of Kingsport, Tennessee, and Rev. Bernie H. Hampton, pastor of the Methodist church at Pennington Gap; two daughters, Mrs. R. Swanson Kyle, Galax, and Mrs. Thelma Niette, Columbus, Georgia; one brother, Granville Hampton, Independence; thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete when the Gazette went to press this afternoon, although it was known that interment would be in the Hampton family cemetery at "Round Meadows" near Baywood. (Copied from the Galax Gazette, Galax, Virginia, Monday, April 20, 1953, page 1)
