HENRY S. KIMMEL

  Dr. Henry Schell Kimmel, aged 75, who served as Coroner of Somerset County for 
more than 24 years, and who had been engaged in the practice of medicine in 
Somerset and vicinity for 52 years, died suddenly last Thursday at 11:50 o'clock 
at his home on East Main Street, Somerset.
  Dr. Kimmel was able to be around in his home, although he had been in failing 
health for the last two years.  He was taken suddenly ill Thursday morning, and 
died a short time later of a heart attack.
  Dr. Kimmel tendered his resignation as Coroner early this year and his 
daughter, Mrs. Emily Fluck, was appointed by Governor Pinchot to fill the 
unexpired term.
  Dr. Kimmel was a son of Edmund and Emily (Schell) Kimmel, both deceased, and 
was born in the homestead, where he resided until the time of his death.  He was 
graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, 53 years ago, and 
entered upon the practice of his profession in Somerset a short time later.
  His wife passed away in Somerset 12 years ago.  Surviving are these children:  
Mrs. Emily Fluck, Mrs. E. E. Campbell and Mrs. Jack Dice, all of Somerset, and 
Mrs. Clara Martin, of Bloomington, Ind.  He also leaves 19 grandchildren, a 
brother, Dr. W. S. Kimmel, formerly of Uniontown, who has been bedfast at the 
Kimmel home in Somerset for the last four years; and two sisters, Mrs. Louise 
Fogg, of Uniontown, and Mrs. Ellen Keffer, of McAlpin, W.Va.
  Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in charge 
of Rev. J. F. Messenger, pastor of the Somerset Christian Church.  Interment was 
made in the Husband Cemetery.
