Miss Esther Covert was born at Pontiac, Michigan March 5, 1850. She was married on December 29, 1869, to Francis Kimball, who died a few years ago. They were married at Portland, Michigan, where they resided for about ten years and in 1880 moved to Clay county and settled on a farm northwest of Spencer and later she came to town.

Mrs. Kimball was a fine woman, with a large circle of friends. She was the mother of two children, Mrs. Elmer D. Bisbee, and Grace, who died in infancy. She leaves a sister, Mrs. Chas. Hunt, who lives in Honduras, Central America, and also two grandchildren.
