Mr. Kimzey was born Oct. 21, 1868 on a farm 4 1/4 miles south of Milo and received his education through the eighth grade at the Green Plain rural school.

He farmed in that community until 1939 when he and his wife moved to Chariton. He returned to Milo in 1959, the year Mrs. Kimzey died.

A Democrat, Mr. Kimzey cast his first presidential ballot for Grover Cleveland in 1892, and had voted in every election since that time.
