Death of Mr. Walter R. Kimble

With a heavy heart we would drop a tear to the memory of the subject of this 
sketch, who just entering upon a new life with promises as bright as the 
noonday sun, was snatched from the arms of a young and endearing wife now 
answers to the roll-call at the judgement bar of God.

Walter Kimble, as he was best known to his friends, was married to Miss Eva Lou 
Smith April 2nd last, was stalwart in body, character and mind, and everybody 
who knew him were glad to congratulate the bride upon accepting the hand thus 
offered her, but no sooner had the marriage bell ceased ringing than it was 
quietly whispered that this young husband was desperately ill with typhoid 
fever.  Every attention was given him by his physician, Dr. Bryan, with the 
assistance of loved ones and friends but he grew worse instead of better, 
dysentery setting in.  The combined efforts of both diseases, baffled all human 
skill and aid, and on Saturday night last his spirit winged its flight to the 
glory world having bereft the bride of but a few days, a heartbroken father, 
three devoted sisters and one brother.

Walter Kimble was in the 21st year of his age, was the son of Mr. H.W. Kimble 
of Potterville, and was at the time of his death making his home with that of 
his brother-in-law, Mr. Claud Rogers.  His death has brought the bitter cup of 
sorrow to the lips of friends and loved ones.  His was a heart of gold.  He was 
a Christian, a member of the Methodist Church since a small boy, and one of the 
most beloved members of the Patriotic Order Sons of America.

Funeral service over the remains were conducted at the Potterville Church 
Sunday afternoon in a very impressive manner by Rev. J.T. Adams, the church 
being crowded with sorrowing friends.  At the grave the minister was assisted 
in the closing service by the Potterville Lodge P.O.S. of A. of which Mr. 
Kimble was a member.

Card of Thanks

Mr. H.W. Kimble and Mrs. Walter Kimble desire to express to their many friends 
and especially to Dr. Sid Bryan their heartfelt thanks for the many kindnesses 
and faithful service shown them in the recent bereavement of loss of their son 
and husband.
