CHARLES J. KIMBELL
History of Arizona, 1896

Charles J. Kimbell was born in San Francisco, Cal., on the 9th 
of July 1859, to the union of Albert G. and Sarah C. (Gleaves) 
Kimbell, both natives of Tennessee. He was educated in the 
schools of Oakland and Sacramento, and in the year 1878 he began 
studying assaying.  Two years later he left California and 
located at Tucson, where he fitted himself out for the mountains 
and prospecting.  He was thus occupied in Cochise County until 
1885, when he went to New Mexico and while there was all the 
time engaged in mining.  From there he went to Chihuahua, Mexico 
in 1892, remained in the mines there for a short time and then 
returned to New Mexico.  A few months later he came to Phoenix, 
Arizona, and here he has made his home since, engaged as an 
assayer and in mining. He operates with Mr. McFall in other 
mines, notably in Yavapai County and is a wide awake man of 
affairs.
