This will be useful for Ken/Sue. It is J. Andrew's obituary in the July 7, 1934 (Saturday) "Daily Chief:" - --------------------------- "J. A. Kimmel "Dies at Home in Carey Friday Night From Cerebral Hemorrhage "Joseph Andrew Kimmel, retired farmer, died at his home on Dow street, in Carey, Friday night at 10:50 o'clock. Death was attributed to a cerebral hemorrhage. He had been ill three weeks. "Deceased was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kimmel, and was born near Wharton; in Wyandot county, October 26, 1854. He attained the age of 79 years, 8 months and 10 days at the time of death. Mr. Kimmel was united in marriage to Laura B. Burson, who is deceased, on November 25, 1876. Four children were born to this union, namely, C. G. Kimmel, of Carey; Willard E. Kimmel, of Findlay; Eugene Kimmel, of Prospect, and Eura B., wife of Foster Savidge, of Carey. Mr. Kimmel was married to Lizzie Forney, now deceased, on February 25, 1894. One daughter, Nellie, wife of Clarence Hagley, of Lovell, survives this union. Mr. Kimmel was united in marriage to Ida McClellan, on April 25, 1922, who survives. An only brother, L. L. Kimmel, resides at Columbia City, Ind. "Mr. Kimmel spent his entire life in Wyandot county and before his retirement, thirty-two years ago, was engaged in farming. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. "Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist Episcopal church in Carey, in charge of Rev. A. C. Rainsberger. Burial will be made in Houston cemetery, at Forest." ------------------------- Everyone should have such a thorough obit! This is on microfilm at the Community Library in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Knowing Joseph Andrew's name and birth date, you can now find him in the Joseph and Sarah Kimmel family in Richland Township, Wyandot Co., Ohio in the 1860 census (as "Andrew" age 4) and the 1870 census (as "Joseph A." age 14). The age discrepancy is not unusual for a census, but check the other names in the family to verify it is the same person. Next, there is a write up on Joseph and Sarah Kimmel on page 949 in the "History of Wyandot County, Ohio" (1884) which gives their children, including "Andrew" and matching the censuses. And gives Joseph's parents David and Susanna (Welker) Kimmel. David's parents are a bit tricky.
