Caleb I was only 28 years of age when he was slain at Narrangansett.

Maj. Wilbraham Kimball - was born on 18 Sep 1778 in Wells, Maine and died on 28 Oct 1852 in Woburn, Mass. . He was the son of Israel Kimball and Eleanor Dennett. Maj. Wilbraham married Deborah Bourne on 20 Oct 1804 in Wells, Maine. Deborah was born in 1782 in Wells, Maine. She was the daughter of Isaac Bourne and Susanna Patten. She died on 15 Oct 1859 in Woburn, Mass. . Deborah - Grandmother Kimball   Grandmother Kimball, who died when I was two years old, in contrast to grandfather, was a very vivacious women. She dearly loved to "go places" and as mother has often said, she was always ready to put on her bonnet and start on a trip, long or short!   She outlived grandfather by seven years. She too died in Woburn in 1859.   Notes in the diaries of Uncle Israel, from 1855 to 1859 record frequent trips that she made between Woburn, Portsmouth and Wells. In Oct 1855 when seventy three years old she made the trip alone from Woburn to Ft. Wayne Ind. to see her three sons who were living there (Wilbury, Benj. and Sam'l)   Ten fine sone all reaching manhood, all reflected honor on their parents who must have been enerjetic and resourceful as wall as devout christian character.   Judge I.G.K. says in his biography that each boy as he grew up in the old house was taught to help mother in cooking and other work of the house in the absence of daughters to render such asistance.   They were worthy sons of worthy parents.   (James Melvin Kimball 1934) Maj. Wilbraham - was always called Major Kimball because he was a Major in the State Militia, under a commission from the Governor of Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a part. He had ten sons who were born and reared on a farm in Wells and received the common school education provided by the schools of the town.   As there were no daughters, Deborah took each boy into the kitchen to help her, until he was old enough to go out to work, when the next son ws taken in his place. As a result of this training each of them was a good cook, and in the case of need could get up a meal equal to his wife could prepare.   Wilbraham was a ship's carpenter and build 13 vessels between 1817 and 1830. They were schooners, brigs and sloops of between 26 and 145 tons. (See Resources: list of Vessels built by Wilbraham Kimball.)

He was a fine tenor and very fond of music. Never used Liquor or tobacco in any form. Lived on Mt. Pleasant St. in Woburn near Green St. in 1868 - a 'carpenter and builder'. Incidents in the life of George W. Kimaball   In October '64 he was given a pass to go to Washington to visit his brother Israel. In a letter to mother from Ft.McHenry dated October 4, he speaks about a call on the President as follows: "I saw President Lincoln and stood beside him for five minutes. He is a noble looking man. His picture does not do him justice."   In August 1864 four Confederate Spies were brought to Ft. McHenry to be executed and a gallow was ordered for that purpose. George Kimball had it made in readiness for its grim work. The old saying "there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip" was however exemplified in this instance as he wrote home unde date of August 28. 1864 (Fort McHenry), "We expected to see those men hung this morning but we got dissapointed in it as their reprieve came last night but I did my duty. I had the machine all ready for them and was dissapointed in not seeing how it worked. I guess there never was a job that was watched more closely than the building of this gallows or that caused more talk, but it works like a charm. I had the ropes all up and we supposed that they would be hung but the President has seen fit to have their sentence changed to imprisonment. I think he shows too much leniency for I think if anyone whould be hung it is a spy!"   George's comment on this episode is rather remarkable as he was not only a devout Christian but one of the kindest hearted of men. It reflects the feeling of the norther soldier at that most critical time when the Union cause was rather dubious.   (James Melvin Kimball)   See his father for 1850 census listing. 1880 Census Woburn, Mass. name relation age born in occupation father born mother born   George W.

Marie - cookbook author, 'Thomas Jefferson's Cook Book' (Sources: - 13) Sidney - attended Harvard University, receiving his Bachelors degree from the Architecture School in 1909 and his Master of Architecture in 1912.   The curriculum emphasized formal elements of design based on the history of buildings and the built environment. It was based directly on the model provided by the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The result, according to Kimball, was that Harvard students, "tended to graduate into teaching, writing and editing rather than practice." His career, in fact, included notable contributions in teaching, writing, editing, and practice.   Was an accomplished architectural historian (Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library, University of Virginia) Infoplease Entry   American architect and writer, b. Newton, Mass.   He was professor of architecture and fine arts at the Univ. of Michigan (1912–19) and of art and architecture at the Univ. of Virginia (1919–23) and was in charge of the fine arts department, New York Univ. (1923–25). From 1925 until his retirement in 1955 he was director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and was responsible for the acquisition of many important collections. Much of his architectural work consisted of the restoration of old houses, e.g., of Monticello, the Jefferson home, near Charlottesville, and Stratford, the seat of the Lees, both in Virginia. With G. H. Edgell he wrote A History of Architecture (1918). He was also the author of Domestic Architecture of the American Colonies (1922), American Architecture (1928), and The Creation of the Rococo (1943). (Sources: - 13)

(Sources: - 14) Warren - married Eula - no children - lived in Mass. email Oct 2007   There was a Eula Kimball and a Warren Kimball who lived in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Do you think these are the two from our family branch?   --- Yes, Eula and Warren were my aunt and uncle. Uncle Warren was my mother's (Helena M. Kimball King) brother. I didn't know him very well, but my mother was always so happy when he and Eula came to visit our home in San Jose, CA.   He was a former fire chief and editor (?) of a fire prevention magazine for a number of years. (I'd have to check with my older siblings to get more information on that.) Uncle Warren wrote religious books which were a bit too heavy for my young taste. I think I still have one of his books somewhere. He was a faithful correspondent with his mother, my grandmother, and she would share his letters with me when I'd stop by to visit (in San Jose, CA, where we lived).   He would always write about his daily activities and would tell her how many clams (oysters?) he'd brought up from the bay that day. I have seen pictures of Uncle Warren in his rubber wetsuit, face mask and flippers, and that was quite a sight!!   None of us nieces and nephews felt particularly close to Uncle Warren and Aunt Eula, and we chalked that up to the fact that they had no children and didn't seem to appreciate us! (But we were just little kids, so what did we know?)   Patty Mendenhall (Sources: - 16 - 15 - 14)

Beatrice was born on 7 Aug 1889. She died on 25 May 1965 in Hingham, Mass . Beatrice - from email from Robert Howland Kimball   The interesting story regarding Beatrice and James H. is that after she and James divorced, she moved out to California (San Francisco) and went through 3 or 4 or 5 husbands (who went through her $'s in good fashion). The only one I can recall was a Ben Culler, but she had some silverware with some other initials on it, so I know there were more. Then, when Flossie (Florence) died, Beatrice just happened to be between husbands, and must have contacted James, because she returned to Hingham where they remarried to live happily ever after. My older sister and I went back to visit Bea just after James had died in the winter of 1964/65. She died not too long after we returned to Calif. (Sources: - 11) James - Married Florence Titcomb.

Kimball of Engine 2, hearing of the fire, got his company together and they arrived late in the afternoon in two automobiles. As the fire rushed unchecked down Eden street it seemed as if Messervey street would go.   Taking advantage of their experience gained at similar fires in their outlying districts where no water is available for the engines, they gathered all the rugs and clothing they could find and taking them to the salt water, wet them, and then lay them on the roof and over the sides of the houses, where an occasional bucket of salt water would keep them wet. Meeting with success at No. 9 Messervey, we soon had plenty of help, and further down the Street had blankets spread and lots of help from a bucket brigade in wetting down the blankets, as they began to smoke our boys took their positions on the roofs and the crowd kept the water coming. The owners said many pleasant things that night.   On the north side, about i 1.30 P. M., these boys relieved a crowd of volunteers handling a line on Union street. The volunteers were having quite a time handling it, losing ground all the time through improper handling. Captain Kimball and his boys manned this line till daylight, making the stop on the James Coffey house on one side and the Roache house on the other. Mr. Coffey was much pleased and has since entertained the boys.

She gave a major part of this to her brother, Paul Kimball, so he could share in the inheritance. letter from James Melvin Kimball to George Walter Kimball in 1934.   "I tell your Pa I see now where sister Jo. got her name from. They must have taken it from that old Sch. grandpa K. built in 1827. It was common enough to name a vessel after a girl, why not name a girl after a vessel!   (Note: One of Wilbraham Kimball's schooners was named the Alice Josephine. This quote refers to her Aunt Alice Josephine Kimball (Stoddard).)   OBITUARY   Alice Kimball Spooner, 85, Tempe, Ariz., passed away suddenly and peacefully March 17, 2008. Advertisement   Alice was born June 19, 1922, in Lincoln, Ill., and grew up in Flossmoor, attending Thornton Township High School, from which she graduated at the age of 16.   During the mid 1920s, the Kimball family began summering in cottages on North Bay near Baileys Harbor, which was so reminiscent of their family home on Cape Cod. G.W. Kimball, Alice's father, eventually owned several North Bay cottages but in the mid-1930s, with the help of Oscar Smith, cleared forest pines and built Deepwood Cabin, the first cabin on North Bay to have indoor plumbing. The North Bay denizens of those years spent many nights in song and on Sunday nights serenaded the Gordon Lodge guests with musicals. Alice was the accordionist!   Alice attended Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1943 with a B.A. degree in Organ Performance and Voice. She then joined the United States Marine Corps Women's Reserves, attended Chaplaincy school at William and Mary College and served as a Staff Sergeant and Chaplain's assistant at Quantico, Cherry Point, N.C. and Miramar Air Station, San Diego, Calf. She served her country by conducting the base choirs for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and accompanying the likes of Benny Goodman and Ray Heatherton as they performed for the troops.   Alice met the love of her life, Marvin Floyd Spooner, in the Marines and married him December 1945 at his hospital bedside when he returned from the Philippines. While Mark was attending Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio, Alice taught eighth grade in Windham. During the summer months, Alice worked as a "jelly" girl at Gordon Lodge, as well as in the box office at the Lake Cinema in Baileys Harbor. Mark also worked at Gordon's, however quit when asked to clean the tennis courts by hand with a scrub brush!   The Spooners moved east to Boston, where Alice earned her master's degree in English Literature from Boston University while Mark pursued his doctoral studies in Political History at Harvard University. In 1953, Alice and Mark had twin girls, Alden and Anne. Alice began her doctoral degree in Educational Administration at Harvard University in 1960, however, Mark's sudden death at age 34 prompted Alice to put aside her career plans and devote her time to her children. Alice and the girls moved to Lincoln, Ill., where Alice taught at Lincoln College. Through these difficult years, Alice made many personal sacrifices to assure that her beloved Deepwood Cabin on North Bay could always be called her family's home.   Alice moved to Tempe, Arizona, in 1964. She was an active member of the First Congregational Church, serving as secretary, choir member and organist for many years. Alice's volunteer contributions were many, including Girl Scouts, Meals on Wheels and tutoring at Head Start, accompanying the Tempe Senior Songbirds and the Village Harmonicats.   Always a sports fan, Alice especially enjoyed Arizona State University Sun Devil baseball, cheering on the Packers and was torn between allegiance to Tiger Woods and ASU's Phil Mickelson. As she grew older, she loved to watch Tiger while doing her NYT crossword puzzles, listening to NPR and talking to her daughters on the phone at the same time.   Alice, a lifelong Democrat, took her civic responsibilities very seriously and cast an informed vote in every state and federal election in her life. In fact, Alice donated personal letters from JFK to her husband to Lincoln College. Alice was declared by her grandchildren to be "The World's Oldest Living Encyclopedia"; her voracious reading kept her up-to-date about all things political, grammatical, historical and hysterical.   While Alice and her family lived in Tempe, her log cabin on North Bay in Baileys Harbor was truly home. She often recalled that very special day in the early 60s when Kay and Petie Wilson drove out to North Bay and up the long driveway with an invitation to serve as the box office secretary for the Peninsula Music Festival. The token pay Alice would receive was just enough to make it possible for her to continue to bring her children to Door County and the festival didn't mind that she didn't have a phone. While there was no shower or running hot water in the cabin until the early 70s, Alice was always able to greet concert-goers freshly coifed with her cheery smile. Little did they know that she may have spent the afternoon trying to rescue a traveling musician stranded in a foreign city trying desperately to get to Fish Creek in time to perform or locating a missing instrument lost in transit.   In addition to serving as the Box Office Secretary for the PMF for more than 20 years, Alice also acted as the summer organist at the Ephraim Moravian Church for almost 30 years, until her feet couldn't pedal as fast as her fingers could play. Alice particularly loved the Sundays when the Peninsula Music Festival brass choir played between services. She found it so thrilling to hear the music resonating out across the bay.   Alice was devoted to the Peninsula Music Festival and felt truly privileged to eventually serve on the Board of Directors. She adored the Orchestra members, each and every one, and relished every moment she shared with them, whether it was at a rehearsal, at "half time," or at a fish boil or picnic. As she grew older, Alice loved being able to serve as a "hall monitor" and have a private chance to visit with Victor, whom she adored, and all of the orchestra families.   Alice was a steadfast believer in the utmost importance of the relationship between summer and permanent residents. She strove to be sure that all her summer friends knew how much she cared for them and for Door County. She was passionate about the county's preservation both ecologically and historically, a treasured retreat to be respected and protected.   Alice is survived by her daughter, Alden Rebecca (Becky) Spooner, and her son, Mark Onsager, Tempe, Ariz., and her daughter, Anne, husband, Larry, and sons, Elliott, Carter and Alden, Santa Barbara, who will continue the family's 80-year tradition of summers in Door County.   Please join us to celebrate Alice's life, first at the Peninsula Music Festival's Opening night on August 5. A joy-filled commemorative event will be held at the Ephraim Moravian Church at 6 p.m. Wednesday, August 6, followed by a festive dinner (soiree, as Alice would say) at Alexander's.   To celebrate our mother's memory, we would ask you to be kind and genuinely interested in someone today, be curious about the world around you, write a note to someone (by hand if possible; Mom hated e-mail), read a book on a topic that challenges you or takes you on a faraway adventure, sing a song and, always, be of good cheer!   If you wish to make a monetary remembrance in Alice's name, please do so to the Peninsula Music Festival, P.O. Box 340, Ephraim, WI 54211. www.musicfestival.com. She would be well pleased and truly grateful.   (Green Bay Press-Gazette - July 5, 2008) See Spooner family for children.
