Yes, Brethren Encyclopedia has Arthur Vance Kimmell in the ministerial lists and also gives him a full paragraph in the main part of the encyclopedia. In the ministerial lists BE has this: 'KIMMELL, ARTHUR VANCE (FGBC); 8-30-1880/5-27-1955; ord. 3-30-1902 at Dayton, OH (p. 1902-03); min. term., ca. 1950; Lordsburg (LaVerne) CA )p (1905 -08); Los Angeles CA, 1st (p. 1908-13; Whittier CA (p.1913-27); Los Angeles CA, 2d (p.1927-30); Philadelphia PA , 1st (p & eld 1930-50?); ..." [citations given are all Brethren denominational publications]. As to abbreviations used above, "p" stands for pastor. His ministry terminated about 1950. FGBC has to do with which branch of the Brethren this Kimmell was a minister in, and I don't find the list of abbreviations just yet. "eld" is elder. "min.term." means ministry terminated. However, in the main portion of BE on page 693 -694 Arthur Vance Kimmell is given his own entry, and it has some very good genealogical information in it: "Kimmell, Arthur Vance (BC, FGBC) 1880-1955, pastor. Born Aug. 30 near Pleasant Hill, OH, A V Kimmell was a grandson of Elias Teeter and a nephew of R R Teeter. He joined the Brethren Church in Dayton, OH, in 1898, and was ordained an elder there in 1902. Kimmell was pastor at Lordsburg (LaVerne) CA 1905-08, while studying at Lordsburg (LaVerne) College. Between 1908 and 1930 he was pastor of congregations he helped establish at Los Angeles (First Brethren 1908, Second Brethren 1910) and Whittier (1913), CA. In this way Kimmell as responsible for much of the early groowth of the Brethren Church in southern California.... He was pastor at the First Brethren Church, Philadelphia, 1930-ca1950. "Kimmell was moderator of General Conference (BC) in 1930. President of the Foreign Missionary Society Board for many years, he also edited the Brethren Missionary 1923-29. He was president of the Grace Seminary board from its inception as the Brethren Biblical Seminary Assn in 1937. Kimmell resigned as pastor at Philadelphia..... He died May 27 in Philadelphia. " Citations are mostly Brethren Church denominational stuff, but R L Howe's History of a Church (1943) is also mentioned. BC stands for Brethren Church. FGBC presumably is the Grace Brethren branch. (Brethren have had lots of splits.) Happy hunting.
