Death of Edmund Kimbrough

Sunday morning at 3 o’clock, the dark-winged messenger of Death knocked at the 
door of the heart of Edmund Kimbrough and carried his spirit into the Great 
Beyond.  It is a sad thing at all times to stand in the presence of death, but 
it is especially sorrowful to stand at the death bed of a young man, who is 
called from this world in the very prime of his young manhood.

Edmund Kimbrough was but 27 years of age.  A few years ago, he went to New 
York, where he accepted a position with a large clothing firm.  His future was 
before him and he looked forward to a bright career in the business world of 
that city.  But ere long a dreaded disease began to prey upon his constitution, 
and he was advised by his physicians to return to his home.  He came back to 
Talbotton, hoping that the change would be beneficial and that in the course of 
a few months he would be able to return to New York and resume his work.  But 
his condition did not improve.  For two years he had been at home, unable to do 
any active work, and growing weaker, day by day.  About two years ago, he had 
to go to his bed, and he was never able to rise again.

Never had Talbotton known a sadder death.  While Edmund was on his deathbed, 
his younger brother Charlie was in another room expected to pass away at any 
moment.  He, too, has a lung trouble.  How sad it is for two young brothers, 
both less than 28 years of age, to be dying almost at the same time.

Edmund Kimbrough was the son of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Kimbrough of Talbotton.  His 
mother died about two years ago leaving her husband and three sons, Charlie, 
Edmund and Worrill.  There was never a more devoted family, and when the mother 
died, it seemed to more strongly cement the warm ties of love and affection 
between the father and sons.  But again the ties are severed, and the oldest 
has crossed over the river and now rests in the shade of the trees on the other 
side.  Charlie can live but a few days longer at best, and then only the father 
and the youngest son of the once devoted family will remain.  But there is 
peace and comfort in the thought that they are not separated for all time, but 
will meet again in a brighter and better world, where there will be no pain, no 
sorrow, and where the bonds there re-united will never be severed again.

Edmund Kimbrough was known by everyone in Talbotton and Talbot County, and 
never did a young man have more friends.  He was always cheerful, kind, 
generous and courteous with those with whom he came in contact and his death 
has caused profound sorrow.

The funeral was conducted from the home Monday morning by Rev. Francis 
McCullough.  The great number, which attended, was an evidence of the esteem in 
which he was held.
