As stated in the Gazette of that day
Frederick ]. Kimball, president of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company,
died Yesterday at bis home, in THAN,
near Radnor, Pa. Mr.. Kimball had
been sick for some weeks. Mr.. Kimball
was Philadelphian, being born in that
city in 1914. He early chose railroad
work as his vocation, engaging as rod
man in the western part of the state.
His rise was rapid, and some years later,
while still a young man, he became
president of the Susquehanna Valley
Railroad. He occupied this position
until July l, 1888, when he accepted
the presidency of the the Norfolk and
Western. When, in 1885, the road
went into a receivership, Mr.. Kimball,
together with Henry Fink, was made a
receiver. This Office he held until the
receivership was dissolved, and he re-
assumed the presidency. With Clarence
II. Clark Mr.. Kimballl became interested
in securing the purchase of the old
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad.
in 1881, which was changed into the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, so that
he was virtually responsible for its or
ganization. He alone seemed to grasp
the vast possibilities that lay in the de-
yelopment of the Pocahontas coal fields
in West Virginia, and it was through
his efforts that Philadelphia became in
terested in that territory. To Mr.. KIM
ball is given the credit for the growth of
theterritory in Southwestern Virginia and
the eastern part OF West Virginia, where
his railroad first entered.
