Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Orse Hampton was born in 1925, to Jesse G. and Naomi (Medford) Hampton. He married Evelyn Venya Inman on September 30, 1953. He was raised in deep poverty and tragically. He helplessly watched as his six year old twin sister died of yellow fever in 1931. He unfortunately developed a personality disorder and was known to become very aggressive and violent at times, starting with his wife and later becoming such towards his children. He was known to settle any disagreement or dispute through physical means, and he never lost any of the fights he was involved in. Many times these fights started over work disputes or against landlords who moved to evict him for various reasons. This caused Orse and his family to have to move over 25 times throughout his lifetime. Throughout the fights and the domestic abuse, his wife Evelyn remained by his side and married to him until his death in 1992.
