Hudson
Eunice Hudson (1910-1966) married William (Bill) Kemper (1905-1977)
It was difficult to discover and verify the history of Bill and Eunice Kemper. During their lifetime, Bill and Eunice had very little contact with the Wachtels and Kempers and had not lived in this area for very many years. I do not ever remember meeting them.
--------
Eunice Hudson 1910-1996 married William (Bill) Kemper 1905-1977. I could not find the time and place. They had 1 child, Carl B. Kemper 1940-2005. Possibly he was born in Boyd County, KY.?
The parents of Eunice Hudson were Bonner b.1853 and Margaret (Maggie) b.1859 Hudson of Georgia.
They had 9 children, all born in Georgia of which Eunice was the youngest, born in 1910.
Bonner Hudson was the Head of the Household in the 1900 census but Margaret was the Head in 1910 census.
Eunice Hudson and Bill Kemper were probably married in the early 1930s.
The 1940 census shows a W. H. 34 and Eunice 29 Kemper, living in Bell County, KY. Bill is listed as a carpenter. No son is listed but Carl was born in 1940, the year of the census.
We do know that Eunice and Bill spent many years living in Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida.
Bill died in 1977, Eunice in 1966 and son Carl in 2005

I had always heard that Bill and Eunice were buried at St. Andrews Cemetery in Louisville as the above records indicate.
This is their grave at St. Andrews. Eunice died 20 years after Bill so maybe the photo was taken before Eunice's death date was added.
