The Indiana Weekly Messenger Wed, Feb 17, 1909 
Mrs. Cordilla Rice Kimmell, widow of the late Hon. A. W. Kimmell, of South
Seventh street, was gathered to her people at the dawning of Wednesday, February
10, 1909, aged 82 years. She had been ill with chronic laryngitis for several
days but no danger was apprehended until the day previous, when internal
hemorrhages weakened the frail body and she peacefully passed away. Mrs. Kimmell
was a daughter of the late Conrad Rice, one of the pioneers of Indiana county,
who lived near town, on what is now known as the Bath farm, where Cordilla was
born, more than four score years ago. For 60 years she and her husband made
their home on South Seventh street and both were constant attendants at all
church services held in the Presbyterian church, where Mr. Kimmell was an elder
and able leader. Mrs Kimmell was a member of the various church societies and
when she was able to attend at all gave the inspiration of her presence and
contributed of her means to help the work along. Word of her death reached the
Ladles' Foreign Missionary society, as they held their thank-offering meeting,
and many were the expressions of regret that they would see her no more in the
missionary meetings. She is survived by two children: Lieut. Commander Harry
Kimmell with the coast survey, Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Mary K. Wilson, wife
of M. Henderson Wilson, of the firm of Wilson & Wood, clothing merchants. Nine
children preceded the parents to the heavenly country. A handsome memorial
window was placed in the new Presbyterian church by Mr. Kimmell in honor of his
daughter, Cynthia, who Was a member of the church choir for years. She is also
survived by nine grandchildren. Funeral services were held at her late home
Friday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock, by her pastor, Dr. F. S. Crawford.
