GRACE DARLING.
story Of the Heroine Of Half q Century
Ago Retold.

Ago Retold.
Grace Darling, whose death took
place on October 20, 1912, is still re-
membered as the heroine Of the Fame
islands, whose bravery helped to
save nine lives in terrible storm off
the coast of Northumberland The
Fame islands, which are little more
than barren and desolate rocks, were
so dangerous to navigation that q
Lighthouse was stationed upon Long
stone, one of them, and there William
Darling, his wife and daughter,
Grace lived in almost absolute ser
clusion. But day came that caused
their name, and especially the name
of Grace Darling, to be honored in
every part Of the British isle. In the
morning Of this particular day a boat
in distress was seen about a mile
away, but the storm beat SO fercely'
that the boatmen at scarborough,
near at hand, refused to push of, and
Darling, used to such scenes as he
was, shrank from the danger. But
Grace's heroism asserted itself, and
soon she persuaded her father to let
her take one oar while he took the
other. They reached the wreck and
returned safely to the lighthouse
with nine survivors. The news Of
this heroic act soon spread, and in
time tourists from many countries
visited the Longstone lighthouse
and paid their respects to Grace
Darling. Not only were Grace and
her father entertained by the duke
and duchess Of Northumberland and
presented by them with gold watch,
but Grace was awarded the silver
medal Of the Shipwreck Institution,
and received as well purse Of f700
from public subscription. Not even
after all these attentions did she lose
her somewhat reserved disposition
and modest manner. She has been
described as having fair complexion
and comedy countenance, with mild
and benevolent character. Notwith-
standing many dattering offers to
leave the island, Grace Darling re-
manned with her parents until her
death, which took place four years
after, at the age Of n years. To-

Mrs. Kimberlin.

Mrs. Martha S. Kimberlin passed
peacefully to rest last Sunday
night, oct 30. 1904, at H. so o'clock
Mrs. Kimberlin had not enjoyed
excellent health for ten or twelve
years and during the past three
years had been confined at home.
She suffered with sickness which
eliminated an affection of the heart
and its natural resultant.
Mrs. Kimberlin was 73 years Of
age. She was born and reared at
Feliciana, Ky, and united in mar.
rage at that place to Mr.. Green
Kimberlin in 1854. Her maiden
name was Cox. IN 1862 Mr.. and
Mrs. Kimberlin moved to Union
City and located, Mr.. Kimberlin
entering into the business of lum-
Der manufacture, at that time and
some time afterwards one Of the
leading industries Of the county.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Kim
berlin died, and since that time,
Kos Kimberlin, his son, has given
his undivided and careful attention
to his mother Especially during
the past three years has Mr.. kim
berlin been devotedly constant in
his attentions to his mother,
the years she suffered most and
those which marked the last days
of the scenes familiar to her since
the earliest days of the settlement
Of Union City. Another son Of
Mr.. Kimberlin, Mr.. Will Kimber-
lin, resides in England, Ark. with
his family, who on account of sick
ness could not be with his moth
er. During Mrs. Kimberlin's i'll
ness, however, her granddaughter,
Mrs. J. c. Strickland, OF Birming-
ham, Ala, spent some time here in
the sick room. She leaves also
three other grandchildren, one in
st. Louis and one in Chicago, and
eight great grandchildren. Mrs.
Kimberlin was the last surviving
member Of a family Of eleven chill
dren, she being next to the oldest.
She and Mr. Kimberlin were char
ter members of the Methodist
Church in Union City, Mrs. Kimber-
lin having protested religion when
a young lady at Feliciana, Ky.
Mrs. Kimberlin is remembered /
by the older people Ia this city and
many Of the younger ones as one Of
the very best neighbors and friends.
She was admired for the manytrue
qualities Of mind and heart, and
esteemed fos the intelligence char
acteristic Of strong and generous
nature. Her memory is a priceless|
heritage to children and grasdchil-
dren and her admonitions are as
guiding star to them ia the years
to come. Her character will leave
it's bene6cent influence upon gener-
alton who will live TO bless her
name,
Funeral services were conducted
at the residence by Rev Mccoy
afternoon and the remains
were conveyed to the City Cemetery
for interment.

KEITH'S NEW THEATRE.

Clande GilliDgwater, the noted Belasco
actor, will head strong vaudeville bill at
Kclth's next week, with an unusually
large number OF topline features that bid
fair to make one Of the best bills OF the
entire season. Mr.. Gillingwaicr, who
will be remembered by patrons Of the le
gitimate attractions for his capital por-
trayal OF Denys In "Du Barry" in which
he was las, seen here, has been playing a
special engagement on the Keith circuit
and has won distinction tor one OF the
biggest laughing hits OF the season. His
offering Is n little comedy In iarcical
vein from his own clever pen, called
"The Wrong Man" This deals with an
actor who has been engaged to coach q
society woman with theatrical atpiraiionf.
In the middle OF an impnssioned love
scene the jealous husband of the pupil
returns and the complications which then
arise give the basis ior some laughoble
scenes. One Of the features OF the bill
will be the act OF Staey * Birbeck, known
as the Musical BlRcksmiths.
