WILLIAM EDGAR KIMBERLING.
Died on Thursday Afternoon - Funeral on Saturday.

  On Thursday afternoon William Edgar Kimberling, one of Tyrone 
township's most prominent agriculturists, passed away at the Nason 
hospital, of peritonitis.  Mr. Kimberling became ill about one week ago 
with appendicitis and after home remedies proved useless, he was taken 
to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon where his condition was considered 
most critical and almost hopeless from the start.  An operation was 
performed, but peritonitis had set in and death resulted at 2.30 
o'clock Thursday afternoon.  
  William Edgar Kimberling was a son of Mrs. Matilda Kimberling, and 
was born at Elizabeth Furnace just thirty-eight years ago today.  The 
past four years he had been living on the large farm near Tyrone Forge.  
He was a member of the First Lutheran church.  January 25, 1906, he was 
united in marriage to Miss Laura Lindsey, of Tyrone, who with the 
following children survive to mourn a loving husband and father's 
death: Henry, Mary, William J., Frank and Wilbur.  He is also survived 
by his mother and the following brothers and sisters: Samuel, Tyrone; 
Edward, Charles and Mrs. Maud Shenefelt.
  Funeral services will be held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 1.30 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. H. Sherman.  Interment in Grand View 
cemetery.
