She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Burnham. She was educated in the Littleton schools and at New Ipswich academy, after which she taught school with pronounced success for a few years in the west.
Fifty years ago on December 7 she was married to Alonzo H. Kimball of Littleton, and for many years they made their home in the Newtown district. They moved to Concord, later to Hingham, and also lived a few years each in Medford, Lenox and Gardner, where Mr. Kimball held the position of highway surveyor, successively and successfully.
After Mr. Kimball's death Mrs. Kimball went to Los Angeles, Cal., where she lived with her daughter, Mrs. Cyrus Hardy. But a month and a half ago she left Littleton after a pleasant visit with friends in this vicinity to spend a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs Percy Blood, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., before returning to California. Until very recently she hoped to make the trip with her daughter, but she found that it was otherwise ordered, she sweetly reconciled herself to her master.
She has been a most devoted wife and mother, a conscientious christian, an earnest, untiring church and Red Cross worker and a loyal supporter of the Woman's club. At Gardner she was a charter member of the Woman's club, Which she was largely instramental in forming and held office in that institution for many years.
Her benevolences were many and we may truly say of her, "She hath done what she could."
She is survived by her two daughters, a son, Clement Kimball, of Danville, Vt., three grandchildren, and a nephew, William Burnham, of Littleton.
