Kimball, John F.

  General Notes:

Per Vic Jeter:
"My father's notes indicated that John Kimball was born in Ne w
York about 1818 and moved west to Michigan, arriving in Nottawa
township o f St. Joseph County sometime around 1840 as
subsequent census records indicat e his first child, Mary, was
born there about 1841. I have not been able to find John in
the 1830 and 1840 census records for New York, Ohio, or
Michiga n.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Census, 1850, Film M432-362, Page 324).

• Medical: suffered from DROPSY.

John married Alice Pischal about 1841 in New York Or Michigan?. (Alice Pischal was born in 1823 in Probably Cayuga County, New York ¹ and died in 1887.)

  Marriage Notes:

Attached is copy of a photo of John F. Kimball and Alice Pischal
from my
gran dmothers's album. The photo had no date but likely it was
taken in
Kansas and probably between 1870 and 1880. My grandmother said
her
grandmother Alice wa s Irish and that her maiden name was
Pischal. I think
that this name may hav e later become anglicized to "Pickle".
Both were born in New York, John in 181 8 and Alice in 1823, and
both likely
in Cayuga County. John died in 1884 on his wagon near Sharon in
western
Harper Co., KS after giving instructions to his youngest son,
John G., on
the operation of the family farm. He suffered from dropsy. I
checked all of
the cemeteries in that area and failed to find a marker or
record of his
death and burial.
Alice P. Kimball died in 1887 a t the home of her daughter,
Cynthia Hawkins.
While Cynthia was living with h er family in Cowley Co., KS in
1885, I have
been unable to locate her whereab outs after that time nor have I
been able
to locate any death/burial records for Alice in the county.
Some of the
family thought Cynthia might have been l iving in Arkansas City
of that
county when Alice was living with her.
