The angels came at eight o’clock Friday afternoon, Oct. 8, 1908, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Addo Gardner, west of Smyrna, who did everything with earnest zeal to relieve from intense suffering our dear cousin, Elverton W. Kimberly, who was born in Otisco, Ionia county, Mich., Oct. 3, 1847, being the second son of Frederic and Arabella Kimberly. Two months ago he remarked: “I might better go; I am so weary of this life.” After living a life of usefulness, turning his hands to what came in his way, he was transplanted from this crumbling earth to the banks of the “River of Life.” sheltered from blasting winds to take the form of heavenly beauty and meet the wife, the sharer of his joys and sorrows, who was borne away in the arms of the death angel Jan. 3, 1908, on Sunday at one o’clock, to sojourn in the land of rest, that bourne from whence no traveler returns, and father, mother, and two brothers, leaving one brother, two nephews and a step-son to mourn their loss, thus leaving two shipwrecked homes on this side of the “River.” Card of Thanks. We wish to tender our heartfelt acknowledgment of gratitude to the many friends who expressed their deep sympathy and rendered assistance in caring for our brother, uncle and step-father during his sickness in which he suffered intense agony for a few days; for the consoling words of the minister, the harmonious music and floral decorations provided by friends and kindred. – Lester J.
