Morgan Hill Times, May 8, 1918
Mrs. Kimble Passes Away Suddenly

The many friends of Mrs. Mary Kimble were shocked to learn of her death Tuesday
Morning, November 5th, from hemorrhage of the lung at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. John Acton.

Mrs. Kimble, with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Hatch, went to Minnesota when she was
12 years old.  They settled in Pickwick, Winona county where she lived until her
marriage with Mr. George Kimble, who died in Morgan Hill some seven years ago. 
At her marriage she removed to Homer, Winona county, where she resided until she
came to Morgan Hill.  She early in life gave her heart to God and joined the
church.  She ever lived an [sic] humble, consistent Christian life.  She was
always present at all church services, especially Sunday school, and mid-week
prayer meetings when her health permitted.  She was largely influential in
organizing the first church and building the first house of worship in the town
of Homer.  She was a faithful and loving wife and mother.  Her husband could
safely trust her and her children rise up and call her blessed.  Her friends,
and there were many, will miss her cheerful smiles and encouraging presence.

She was a tireless worker in the W.C.T.U., missionary societies, and all
charitable philanthropies and activities and was ever ready with sympathy and
encouragement for the sorrowful and discouraged.  She has left a sad void in
many hearts, that may grow less acute but will never heal.
          Mrs. C. M. King

Mrs. Kimble is survived by three children: Mrs. Anna Marie Beckwith, Mrs.
Charlotte Louise Acton and Elsworth Milton Kimble, all of Morgan Hill.

The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Acton Residence, Rev. L. P.
Walker, pastor of the Methodist church officiated, assisted by Rev. H. H.
Buckner of San Jose who preceded Mr. Walker as pastor.

A quartet, Mrs. L. R. Vogel, Miss Agnes Ward, T. W. Baird, and Dr. G. N. Fisher
sang comforting hymns at the house and at the grave.  The pallbearers were: J.
A. Fisher, M. R. Bench, W. A. Rice, A. J. Marken, W. H. Ward and G. F. Boutwell.
