Henry Benjamin Kimbrough

The Passing of H.B. Kimbrough Leaves an Aching Void in Hearts and Homes, Town 
and County

Mr. Kimbrough was born in Harris County, Tuesday, the twenty-third of February 
was his Fifty-Third birth anniversary.

When he was a mere child, his parents moved to Talbotton, and lived in the 
beautiful home now owned by Mr. Roderick Leonard.  Here his happy childhood was 
passed, tenderly beloved by a large family of brothers and two lovely sisters.

His school days were spent at Collinsworth Institute.

Early in his young manhood, he was married to Miss Eva Paschal of Geneva.  This 
union was an ideal one.

Mr. Kimbrough was courtly, dignified and self-poised.  The memory of his 
gracious and gentle qualities will ever be cherished by all who knew him.

For many years, he held offices in town and county, and was esteemed for his 
ability and faithfulness.  In business he was upright, punctual and just, to 
the church, loyal and liberal.  To his friends, staunch and true.  In his 
domestic relations, a devoted husband, tender father, and an affectionate 
brother.

He was ever bright, cheerful and considerate.  Even unto the end, his 
thoughtfulness was manifested in many ways.

The harmony and happiness of his home life was beautiful and impressive.

On Monday afternoon, March first, his gentle spirit peacefully winged its 
flight.

The exquisite floral tributes, and the great concourse of friends were 
convincing testimony that he had not lived in vain, nor wrought for self-alone.

The tender service in the home, conducted by Dr. J.B. McGehee and Rev. N.C. 
Underwood was touching and beautiful.  Dr. McGehee had known Mr. Kimbrough from 
boyhood.  He dwelt upon the gentle and untiring ministries of the lovely wife, 
the mutual helpfulness and delicate courtesies of the husband and his unselfish 
kindliness as a father.  Rev. N.C. Underwood in his earnest prayer breathed the 
love of a neighbor, whose heart was heavy with anguish at the loss.  He invoked 
God’s divine guidance upon the grief-stricken ones.  Mr. Kimbrough, after years 
of suffering sleeps on the hillside where the sunshine meets the shade.
