"Jacob KIMBLE, Sr. was a tall bony man who lived to the advanced age of ninety-one. He was a miller, farmer and lumberman. His sons were: Abel, Walter, Benjamin, Daniel, Ephraim, Jacob. One of his daughters, Lucretia, was the wife of Judge Abisha Woodward, of Bethany, Wayne county, Pa. and the mother of the Hon. George W. Woodward, who became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Abel KIMBLE built a grist mill on Kimble creek at an early day. He was succeeded by his son, Burnham Kimble, whose sons were Philip and Arthur, now living in Hawley, and Jackson who is on the Peter Warner place. The daughters were Carolinek, wife of Henry Edwards; Sybil, wife of Guerdon Pellet; Ada, who moved to the West; Sarah Ann, wife of Jackson Nyce, who lives in the settlement.
Jacob KIMBLE, 2d., resided on the farm afterward owned by his son Neman Newton KIMBLE. He was the father of eighteen children. In the days when shoemakers went from house to house, boarded with the family and did their shoemaking for the year [which was called whipping the cat] it took one of these traveling cobblers three months each year to make boots and shoes enough for this family. His wife was Ann Kinsley and Moses, Henry, Timothy M., Della [wife of Joseph Slocum], Walter, James, Newton, Harrison, Milton, George, Hannah [wife of Aaron Brown], Lucy Ann [wife of Judge Ridgway], and Jacob [who was at one time sheriff of Pike county] are all the children that Warren Kimble could remember.
Walter KIMBLE, of the original family, moved to Indian Orchard. He raised a large family, who all went to Michigan with the exeption of Stephen, who has a son Stephen living in Cherry Ridge. Fanny Atkinson, the second wife of Joseph Atkinson, Sr. and mother of Joseph and Lot Atkinson of Hawley, was a daughter of Benjamin Kimble. She lived to an advanced age and was highly respected by all who know her.

WYMAN KIMBLE. burgess of Honesdale, Wayne county, has experienced an active and successful business career in that thriving borough, where he was born and where he has ever since resided. His present political duties do not absorb his entire attention, for he is engaged in the manufacture of glass-polishing goods. Mr. Kimble descends from New England stock. His grandfather, Daniel Kimble. married a Miss Ross, and settled in Honesdale, migrating from the old ancestral home in New England. He was a sturdy and upright citizen, and lived to the ripe old age of eighty years. He had two daughters, one of whom died unmarried; the other became the wife of John Diltze, who settled near Indian Orchard. His six sons were Daniel, Purdham, Scott, Benjamin F., Joseph and Samuel. Scott enlisted as a soldier in the Mexican war and never returned. Daniel and Purdham lived and died near White Mills. Benjamin F. Kimble, the father of our subject, was born at White Mills, Wayne Co., Penn., in 1803, and in early life acquired the millwright's trade. While yet a minor, in 1823, he erected what in early days was well known as the "Old Red Gristmill." It was afterward purchased by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. Benjamin F. Kimble married Prudence Vastbinder, who was born near Lake Ontario in 1808, and died in 1883. Their surviving children are as follows: Ellen ]., wife of Robert Bailey, who lives on a part of the old homestead; B. F., a resident of Damascus township; Clarence D., a carpenter and contractor, living on the old place: and Wyman, subject of this sketch. The father followed milling until his retirement, in 1867. In politics he was an Old-line Whig, and, later, a Democrat. In religious faith he was a Universalist. His wife was a Methodist. He continued to live at the old home on the mill property until his death, which occurred December 14, 1875. Wyman Kimble was born in Honesdale, April 16, 1843. He attended school at Bethany Academy for three years. He had a natural taste for mathematics and mechanics, and applied himself diligently to those branches. After leaving school he learned the trade of millwright, in which he actively engaged from 1859 to 1866. During the latter year he and his father repurchased from the canal company the "Old Red Gristmill" property, and there built Kimble's Steam Mills. His father retired the following year, and Wyman conducted the business with a partner until 1876, when he disposed of his interest to the other owner. Mr. Kimble realized that the sweep of modern progress was retiring to comparative obscurity the millwright's occupation, and was quick to turn his genius into another channel. He entered a machine shop as a pattern-maker, and worked steadily for two years. He was then engaged in a sash and blind factory, in getting out polishing woods for polishing glass. While so engaged Mr. Kimble developed the important idea of having the wood so cut that the grain would all run in one direction, and thus render the polishing wheel doubly effective and doubly valuable. He patented his idea, and is now engaged at Honesdale in manufacturing polishing wood for cut glass. His finished product has acquired a world-wide reputation, and is now exported in large quantities to all glass-producing countries, besides commanding an extensive sale in our own country. Mr. Kimble was first married to a Miss Hoagland. a native of Schoharie county. N. Y.; the only child by this marriage, Ida M.. is the wife of Elmer Goodman, of North Branch, Sullivan Co., N. Y., and has one child - Floyd. Mr. Kimble was again married, July 26, 1870, his second union being with Miss Charlotte Fox. They have two children, Nellie G. and Wyman W. In politics Mr. Kimble is a Democrat. He was elected to the mayoralty of Honesdale on a Bimetallic platform in 1897. He is a true member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Blue Lodge No. 218 and Chapter No. 204, both of Honesdale, filling all the chairs in the Blue Lodge; he was a charter member of Callicoon Lodge, in Sullivan county, N. Y. He is a public-spirited and prominent citizen, wedded to his private business, and not seeking official life, yet ready to bear his share of public service when principles and the exigencies of the time require a standard bearer.
