the subject of this notice was born in Ogelthorpe county, March 28, 1840, where he spent a portion of his infancy. His father soon moved to Butts County, where he wa sprincipally brought up. brother KIMBALL united with the Baptist Church at Philippi, Henry County. September, 1859, and liveda Baptist until his death.
He enlisted in the Confederate army about the first of October, 1861, and during his short sojourn with the army he exhibited a Christian spirit towards his fellow soldiers, for he was almost constantly engaged in nursing the sick of his company, until in January he was seized with disease. Having recovered from his attack he wrote to his father that it was a sweeth thought to him that he had a father at home who remembered him at a rich throne of Grace; that he thanked God he served a God who would succor His people when left alone without kindred to cheer them; that he had found the Holy Spirit comforting to his drooping spirit. He further remarked that he was, and always expected to be, glad that he had tried to serve God when he was young.
Having recovered from his first attack, he resumed his office of kindness to his fellow soldiers until April, when he was prostrated with typhoid fever, and was sent to his father (elder JOHN T. KIMBALL) in Butts County. the disease was so deeply seated that when he arrived home his mind was wandering. However, a few days before his death, he remarked to his father that the greatest thing was happiness--that eternal happiness above.
In the death of our brother, the church has sustained a loss of one of its most promising lights; the Army, a worthy soldier; his parents, a dutiful son; the vicinity in which he lived, a beloved neighbor. But we feel confident that he is gone to that rest which awaiteth the people of God--Therefore, we use the exhortation of our Savior, "Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and your children"
Oh sing to me of heaven
When I am called to die,
Sing Songs of holy ecstacy
To wait, my soul on high

Soon after settling in Butts county, Kimbell entered the work of the ministry. While it is meet to honor and praise men who for a long life have honored the sacred calling, their wieves should not be forgotten. Much of their success depends upon the wife. In this calling she is, indeed an helpmate. As a preachers wife she met the full measure of duty, and now that she is laid away in the silent grave, it may truthfully be said of her, what Jesus said of Mary when she had poured the ointment on His head: "she hath done what she could".
When the filan day shall come, then it will be known what such a life has been worth in Butts county and to humanity generally.
About 1 year ago she had a fall from which she never recovered sufficiently to be able to walk. On the night of her death she appeared as well as for sometime past, and was making arrangements to attend worship at County Line Church on the following Sunday. After retiring, difficulty of breathing was discovered. She suffered about one hour, and passed away with the expression "Bless the Lord".
Her funeral was preached at County Line church Friday afternoon by w. G. McMichael and she was carried to the grave surrounded by a large concourse of relatives and friends who were ready to bear tesitmonty to the piety and worth of this aged and devoted discipline of the Lord Jesus.
