I find a Mary Bowers, who m. William Kimmell in Stark Cio., Ohio on Jan. 7, 1819. William d. in Richland Co., Ohio-- reportedly from a kick from a horse. ( He was a farrier) Mary, & several children moved on to Williams Co., Ohio. That doesn't sound like an answer to your query, but I think she is a Bowers--not Bower. ----- Original Message ----- From: <PamChowdr2@aol.com> To: <KIMMEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 10:08 PM Subject: [KIMMEL] Re:Kimmel/Bowers > In a message dated 04/17/2000 2:27:21 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > wschwart@micron.net writes: > > << If anyone has information on John Kimmel who married Eliza Bowers >> > > The Bowers name rang a bell, but I just ran through my my surname list and no > luck.

My records have two Kimmell/Bowers connections (other than my own Kimmel/Bower): Elizabeth Bowers, born in MD 5/15/1800, d 4/29/1849 OH, was 2d wife of Judge Adam Kimmell, married him in Stark Co. OH 1824. I have her as m/o Adam J, Joseph C, Manias H, and Sen. William F. Kimmell. No notes as to my sources for this. Mary Bowers (no dates) married William (Wilhelm) Kimmell 1/7/1819 per data from Mike Rohrer. William was b 10/5/1797 Lewisburg, Union Co. PA, died in OH before 1881 per info from Hermione Stanley. He is s/o Joseph Kimmel & Hannah Welde according to my info. Don't have information re any children. My grandma was Mabel Estella Kimmel who married Earl Bower. The Bower/Bauer/Bowers thing is kinda flexible in our history. Being German was definitely not a popular thing during certain times in American history, and Bower was more German than Bowers, which is considered English, so my great-grandpa David Bower and his line are Bower; great-grandpa's brother and his line are Bowers with an s. Some of my dad's schoolbooks have his last name spelled Bowers in his own handwriting. But then when great-grandpa's will was probated and there was no S, our side of the family promptly dropped the S, which had been added before WW1. Jan T

Hi, Folks! We've finally determined the prices for the meals for the Kimmel Reunion. Each (Saturday Supper and Sunday Lunch) will be $8.50 for adults and $6 for children under 8. We'd not made that clear in the flyer because we weren't sure of the costs at that time. Will you please pass this on? I'm only sending this out to e-mail addresses. Jan will probably be printing another newsletter before the reunion. Please send your check to: Beverly Muzzy 21370 259th Street McLouth, Kansas 66054 Thank You!

Hi from Mexico. Somehow I have a message from BETTY JEAN KIMBLE that does not have her e.mail address. Hope someone can send it to me because I need to ask her some questions. Patty

I have Kimmel ancesters in Wisconsin too, if that is considered surrounding area-

I don't know if you consider Wisconsin "the surrounding area" but there are some of us here.

Am looking for kimmel's in Iowa and surrounding area.

Hi from Mexico. If BETTY JANE is still on this list, please contact me because I have a question about your JOHN KIMEL line. Thanks, Patty

Hi from Mexico, list. We've turned up another KIMMEL in NC and need help. Please contact me if you know anything about this fellow: FREDRICK KIMMEL appears in the 1782-1783 ROWAN COUNTY, NC tax list, Capt. Grimigar's district, taxed 16 pounds for horses and mules, cattle. Location is south of Salisbury in what later becomes DAVIDSON COUNTY. HELP! Hope someone can place him. Patty

Kimmel Family News is sponsored by the descendants of David & Leah Riegel Kimmel (he's a grandson of David Kimmel 1763), but it's open to all Kimmels. It costs $6 yearly and comes out roughly quarterly. I'm working on the April issue of KFN this week. Probably the best thing we've got is Tim Kimmel's Kimmel Column, which gives us history on all the Kimmels. And we carry queries, etc., from "other Kimmel cousins" as well.

I play the harmonica, alto sax, clarinet, and flute.

My aunts were in vaudeville playing the sax and clarinet. But unfortunately, the gene skipped this generation. Not a musical bone in our body. Oh well. Leslie

I didn't grow up close to the rest of our family's Kimmels, but I do play the piano and always loved it--made up lots of my own tunes, etc. (in my more grandiose moments I call it composing) and thought I was the only one. Then I was given some sheet music Daddy's Aunt Rose Kimmel Kauffman had had published. Her songs tended to be highly patriotic (belligerent?) marches written around WW 1 about how we must beat the Kaiser and the Huns. So I thought there were two of us. Then I went to a Kimmel reunion where they handed out songbooks of hymns and ditties composed by Aunt Anna Kimmel Sanders and by her brother, Uncle Ray Kimmel. And I heard stories about evenings around the piano with everybody singing.... So now I figure it's part of being a Kimmel. (Of course, it seems to have missed my siblings--they paint and sculpt and draw.) Jan T

William Z. Kimmell is listed on a Grove City College reunion 'deceased member listing'. The reunion is of the class of 1950 at Grove City, Pennsylvania. Although the listing of deceased classmembers does not show any birth/death dates I thought someone might be interested in the name and or the reunion. Bob Kimmell rbk@napanet.net
