The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 22, 1889

One of the saddest deaths ever known in this vicinity, occurred last Sunday 
morning.  It was that of Mrs. S. A. McKimball, who leaves a husband and nine 
children, the oldest not to exceed 16, the youngest a pair of twins only a few 
hours old at the time of the death of the mother.  The family are in very 
straitened circumstances, and homes will have to be provided for the younger 
ones.  

The funeral was held Tuesday at the Baptist church, and was largely attended.  
Conducted by the pastor, Rev. D. B. Munger.  Many in attendance remarked it 
was the saddest occasion they ever witnessed.

Subsequent Publication:  Friday, March 8, 1889

Mr. M. C. Kimball, whose wife died a short time since, has been obliged to 
secure homes for his children.  The following persons have kindly opened their 
homes for the unfortunate children. S. Briggs, Thos. Hall, L. Wright, Chas. 
Wilson, Fred Smith, Thos. Wilder and Mrs. H. Van Vleck.  There is yet one boy 
about 12, yet to be provided for.  They are a nice quiet lot of children, and 
we are glad to know they have secured so good homes.
