DIES SUDDENLYDies of Heart Failure
During Recovery
From Burns.David R. Kimbrough, son of James W. and Nancy (Russell) Kimbrough, was born Feb. 25, 1881, east of Carthage, Hancock county and departed this life Dec. 29, 1938, at his farm home six miles southeast of Bentley.
On Oct. 18, 1905, he was united in marriage with Miss May Boston, which union was broken in less than one year, by her death, which occurred Sept. 2, 1906.
On Feb. 5, 1912, he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Wilson, which union has continued nearly 27 years, of which time all but one year has been spent at the present home.
While this home was never blessed with children, a niece, who was left homeless by the death of her mother, was taken into the home and raised to young womanhood with all the love and devotion of an own child.
In young manhood, Mr. Kimbrough united with the Presbyterian church, but in later years has attended the Primitive Baptist church, being a firm believer in that faith.
On Oct. 16, he suffered a very severe burn by an explosion of gasoline, which he endured patiently and bravely for more than ten weeks, when he suddenly passed away Dec. 29, at 9:30 p.m. from heart attack.
He leaves to mourn his passing, besides his devoted wife, the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Hattie Yetter and Charles T. Kimbrough, of Carthage; Edward W. Kimbrough, of Tennessee; Alfred C. Kimbrough, of Karlstad, Minn.; and Mrs. Will Harder, of Glendora, Calif.; sixteen nieces and nephews and a host of relatives and friends.
In his passing is felt the loss of a loving, devoted husband, a kind, generous neighbor and true friend.
Out of the mosts of evening
The stars come one by one
Out of the day's surrender
Comes peace when day is doneFuneral services were conducted Sunday, Jan. 1, at 2:00 o'clock, by Elder C. E. Webb in the Baptist church in Carthage, after which the body was laid in Moss Ridge cemetery.
