More Kimlin Info
I posted about the Kimlin family quite a while ago. I recently came across another mention of the Richard Kimlin family from the New York Sun in 1903.
According to the paper, he was a cider and vinegar dealer (possibly connected to the Kimlin Cider Mill?). He was noteworthy for being so poverty-stricken that in February, he and another family were living in a pig sty in the woods near Poughkeepsie.
Possibly this is Richard Courtney Kimlin, who would have been about the right age. The paper notes two daughters, 15 and 16, and a son, age 9, who had been removed from the pen and taken to the rescue mission. A custody battle in the courts may have resulted. More info here.
