Marian Immogene (Los) Kamp (1908 - 1988)
Marian was born to Paul Los Kamp (d 1948) and Lois Los Kamp. She lived in Berkeley, Stockton and Colusa and Placer County California.
It looks as though Marian was a dedicated teacher and spent most of her life in Northern California. According to the 1934-1944 California Voter Registrations Miss Marian I Los Kamp lived on Princeton Street in Colusa County California and was a Republican and worked as a teacher. She also had a PO Box 254 on P Street in Placer County California.
A note from a younger cousin: When I knew Cousin Marian (she was a cousin of my mother's), I was a young adult in the 1970's. She was a lovely lady and was a dedicated Christian Scientist. I was rather horrified when she told me that as a tenet of her religion, she would have dental work without anesthesia. Ouch! When I married in 1972, she sent me an antique jam spoon (with documentation) purchased from Gumps - and upscale store in San Francisco. She lived in Alameda CA at that time. Reading the above is the first time that I found out that she lived anywhere else!
My Aunt Lois (my mother's half-sister) was named after Marian's mother, Lois. Their father was a younger brother of Marian's mother and Lois was his "favorite sister." (Or so I'm told). My mother's first name was Marian - after cousin Marian?
