(extracted from a section on the history of Lyndon, Caledonia County, Vermont)

Rev. James L. KIMBALL graduated at Dartmouth College about 1823 or 1824, and 
having studied divinity, was ordained, and enjoyed bright prospects of 
eminence and future usefulness, when the destroying angel entered the abode 
of his father, Jude KIMBALL, Esq., with the flattering but insidious disease 
of consumption, and first took a beautiful and accomplished sister, Mary, in 
1826, and in quick succession, an elder brother, Benjamin, and himself. And 
the flowers of youth were faded, and the early hopes of parents and friends 
blighted.
