A telegram was received on Friday
last announcing the death Of Timothy
@. Kimball of New York City. Mr..
Kimball and family spent some weeks
here in the summer and returned only
short time since to look after his
business affairs, which are extended
and important. A letter received
in the early part Of the week
stated that he had been to Virginia
and returned home ill of bilious diff
Guilty. Mr.. Kimball was the son of
the Hon. John III. Kimball, lawyer, land
for many years a prominent citizen
Of the town and county. He raised
four boys, of whom Timothy was the
eldest. In early manhood Mr.. T. @.
Kimball went to Boston, where he
learned something of the ways of city
life and business, to remove later to
New York City, where he engaged in
the fruit and produce business. He
afterwards was in partnership with his
brothers, Benjamin and Austin, and
cousin Hazen. Benjamin and Hazen
each died suddenly only few years
since, leaving the business in the
hands of Timothy and Austin. Mr..
Kimball considered himself retired
from active mercantile pursuits some
time since, but has still been partner
in the business. For some years the
firm were the great apple dealerssin
the country and so great had the fame
of Mr. T. G. Kimball become that he
was known as the "Apple King of
AMERICA The business in this line
was immense. Mr. Kimball always
took great interest in his native town
and was a generous contributor to
the churches and other matters of the
town. His last act in town showed
his public spirit and kindness, when
he caused to be erected at his own ex-
pense water trough and fountain on
the village square. Mr.. Kimball was
the warm hearted friend of all his old
townsmen and was always greeted
with warm hands when he returned.
Our knowledge does not permit us to
speak in detail of matters pertaining
to his life in the city. We have met
him there and found the same busy,
active, courteous man. He seemed to
know everybody and was cordially
greeted by all. In business his word
was honor and the we'll known initials
ST. @. K.'' were the guaranty of
square dealing. For some years of
late he has been identified as director
and president with the Gansevoort
Bank of New York. His geniality,
business ability and honesty won for
him no small repute, while his kind
ness, generosity and loving regard
for friends, the church and all things
good, endeared him to all who knew
him. His remains were brought here
and the funeral services were held in
the Congregational church, Rev. j. K
Fuller officiating. The discourse and
remarks were specially appropriate.
The casket, carried to the church, was
covered with flowers, crosses, pill
lows and wreathes. The remains were
not seen. The interment was in the
Kimball burial lot in the village GEM
etery. Among those present were
Mrs. Kimball and her daughter, Aus
tin Kimban and son and several rela-
tives and friends from New York and
elsewhere. The death is sorrow to
this community, where everybody re-
garded Mr.. Kimbal as a personal
friend.
