The Kimsey Siblings - Artifact Return Search
Updated: Aug 13
Family artifacts from Edward, Katherine Jane, Elizabeth Ann, Georgiana, and Sarah Kimsey. These certificates of completion were given to each of the siblings for their participation in the Methodist Church of Sparta, Tennessee's Vacation Church school between 1937 and 1939. Their father was Deputy Sherriff in Sparta and they had an older brother named James Jr.
My research led me to Katherine's interview with PBS about her time working in Oak Ridge, TN during the making of the atom bomb. It's fascinating to watch and to hear her tell the story of when she walked through the magnetic field.
I'm looking to return these to a family member as a single artifact bundle. If you are a descendant or know someone who is related to the family, please click the button at the top of the page and complete the form.
