WALTER B. KIMBALL was born in Chicago, February 3, 1838. He was raised and
educated there until twelve years of age, when he went to Watertown, New York,
with his mother, his father having previously gone to California. Mr. Kimball
returned to Chicago in 1855, and in 1861 came, via the Isthmus, to this coast.
Proceeding at once to Eureka North, he engaged in mining. In 1872 he moved to
Downieville, clerking for two years in Dr. Aiken's drug store. He opened a drug
establishment of his own in 1874, which he still conducts. Mr. Kimball was
elected a justice of the peace in 1879, re-elected in 1880, and holds this
office at the present time. He was married September 20, 1865, to Amelia Collier
of Eureka, and has four children: Hattie, Harlow, Nellie, and Walter. He is a
member of Downieville Lodge No. 123, A. O. U. W.
