Kimball Killam Superintendent

Janesville Gazette Jan. 30

Kimball Killam, a prosperous Rock county farmer of the town of Milton, will
be the next superintendent of the Rock county insane asylum and poor farm.

Mr. Killam will succeed Arthur Aller who leaves on February 1 to assume the
position of steward of the Northern State Hospital for the insane at
Oshkosh.

A special meeting of the trustees of the Rock county insane asylum and poor
farm will be held tomorrow and the official appointment of Mr. Kimball will
be made.

Last Monday Mr. Killam handed in his resignation as president of the board
of trustees of the Rock county asylum and poor farm, and the same was
accepted. Present indications are that T. B. Bailey of Beloit will be
appointed to fill Mr. Killam's position as trustee. Mr. Killam is highly
respected and well known throughout Rock county. He has served on the
county board of supervisors and has demonstrated that he is a fit man for
the position that awaits him. The selection is a wise one and many will
extend most hearty congratulations.
