Excerpt from In Memoriam George Masten Kimbark: Born May 18, 1833, Died Jan; 9, 1880 A short time before our friend passed from earth he expressed the wish to those who were near him that I should conduct the religious services connected with his burial. In response to that wish I am here this afternoon. Our acquaintance covers some twenty years - the most of his active life - and all of my residence in this city.
