Margaret Godfrey Kimble was born on a farm near White Water, Wis., Nov. 23, 1860. She received her early education and spent her young womanhood in that community. She was married to Rankin Kimble on May 5, 1881, and in 1886 the couple settled in Lincoln township, Cerro Gordo county. In 1915 they retired from the farm, moving to Clear Lake.
