Hemphill was closed late in the afternoon of Monday, May 5, at the home of his sister, Mrs. George Potter, and Mr. Potter, south of Clay Center. In his life story many interesting events could be written, concerning early day history in Clay county.James Warren Hemphill, oldest child of William and Frances Cordelia Hemphill, was born November 9, 1869, on their homestead in Blaine township, Clay county, Kansas. His death occured May 5, 1952, at the age of 82 years, 6 months. He liked living on the farm and spent practically all his life there. In his early teens he shouldered a man's work, and took great pride in doing things well. It is much to his credit that the old Hemphill home place in Blaine township weathered the hard times of early days. Jimmy as he was known, was always thoughtful of his younger brothers and sister, and ready to help them at any time. He was a great favorite with his mother, and the last words she ever said were "Jimmie, you always have been good to me." When his nephews were little boys, they learned that they would depend upon Uncle Jimmie to be their loyal friend and helper. He was very devoted to his brother George and family, his sister, Lillie Hemphill Potter and her husband. In fact, he was good to everyone and they will all miss him. Mr. Hemphill had a talent in penmanship and drawing, and his hobby was driving a car which gave him much pleasure. He joined the First Baptist Church at the age of 22, and kept that faith throughout his lifetime. In his active years, Mr. Hemphill engaged in farming with his brother, George, which he enjoyed very much. During the last 18 months he made his home with his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. George Potter, on their farm south of Clay Center and they were very kind to him, when he was in declining health. His parents preceded him in death and a brother, Porter Hemphill, died in 1935. Surviving are his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. George Hemphill; his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. George Potter, all of Clay Center vicinity; also five nephews, Bluford and Pat Hemphill of Clay Ceneter; Frank, Ray and Wayne Hemphill all of Kansas City; numerous cousins and other relatives. Funeral Services were held Wednesday afternoon, May 7 at 2:30 o'clock at the Peterson Neill Chapel in Clay Center, with the Rev. Arnold Kuzee officating, assisted by Rev. Ralph Long of Broughton. Mrs. Wayne Carlson, Mrs. Donald Chase, Mervin Arnett and Howard Hemphill, accompanied by Mrs. Emil Carlson, sang "Nearer, My God to Thee," "Rock of Ages," and "Jesus Saviour Pilot Me." Burial was made in Greenwood cemetery. The body bearers were Bluford, Frank, Pat and Howard Hemphill, Donald Close and Henry Woellhof. The presence of relatives and long time friends and the beautiful floral offerings bespoke respect and friendship.
