On Feb. 25, 1908 she married George A. Kimble at Omaha, Neb. She is survived by one son, Lowell R Kimble of Springfield, Ill. and two daughters, Mrs. Carolyn Mann* (Vivian) of Nevada and Mrs. Asa White (Dorothea) of Belmond, Iowa.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 1941, one son in 1925, her parents, one brother and two sisters. In addition to her immediate family, she leaves ten grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

The Kimbles came to Nevada in 1908 and farmed in Milford township until 1931. Mrs. Kimble was a member of Milford Social Hour Club and president of the Milford P. T. A. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kimble were active members of the Nevada Methodist church, having become members July 12, 1908 under the pastorate of R. E. Shaw.
